24 Frequently Asked Questions What is the benefit of becoming a sending site? Where can I find out if anyone is interested in buying TDR/C certificates? Where can I find out who has TDR/C certificates they want to sell?

25 Frequently Asked Questions If I purchase TDR/C certificates, am I the only one that can use them or can I sell them to someone else? How long is a purchased, but unused, TDR/C certificate good? Can development rights/credits be transferred from other County sending sites not in the Fruita area to a receiving site in the Fruita area?
