print(r.json())What is APP WD?
APP WD is the submission type for withdrawing an application for exemptive or other relief. Most exemptive applications are filed by investment companies and advisers under the Investment Company Act, for example for co-investment, multi-class, ETF or fund of funds relief.
A withdrawal often means the requested relief is no longer needed, for example because a new rule made it unnecessary, or that the application will be refiled in a different form.
Applicants that previously filed an application for exemptive relief (commonly 40-APP filers).
Whenever the applicant decides not to pursue the application.
