If anyone has any history on that certification process, why M1 no longer has it, etc., I would appreciate if you can chime in.

Above is a fairly old post regarding the process. |
It's not a rumor, it's a fact: The new "FS" version doesn't carry LL-01 anymore.
Queries to XOM (by BITOG members) have not revealed anything useful like "it is currently pending" or "we no longer have interest in holding this approval". For whatever reason, it's no longer LL-01.
That being said, it's still a very stout oil and one of XOM's halo products.
