If it concerns only the removal of the Dual EC, then it should be OK, 
technically.   
Not on paper.

I've read the User Guide bit on private label validations.  In the case of a 
product that consists of a dedicated unit, what would be the best approach ?  
So far I have considered using the OpenSSL FIPS module as is, in the hope that 
its FIPS validation would save costs at the testing lab.  Is this still 
feasible ?
