Explanation

Why BThe successor may file an application to continue the predecessor's registration for the unexpired period without an additional fee

The Uniform Securities Act permits a successor to a registered adviser to continue the predecessor's registration for the unexpired period by filing the required successor application. The statute does not create the 45-day and 30-day bridge asserted in the original item.
