Added additional discussions in both Sections concerning the fact that the DDSP automatically calculates the numerator for both ALC-05a and ALC-05b in the submission form. The counts for Number of Staff Employed and Number of Direct Care Staff Employed, which are the numerator data elements, are entered into the DDSP along with the denominator counts so that the numerator can automatically be calculated by the DDSP.

This information already existed, but added more to assist in understanding.
