The total MDE value was increased by $27 million to a total MDE value of $2.027 billion. The estimated total non-MDE value was decreased by $15 million (after deducting MDE values previously notified as non-MDE and adding new non-MDE costs), resulting in a total non-MDE value of $1.985 billion. The total estimated case value was increased to $4.012 billion. MDE constituted $2.027 billion of this total.
