Action required on applied PTFs

["Burns, Bryan" <Bryan_Burns@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What does "action required" mean on a PTF that has been applied?  I have 138 such PTFs, some permanently applied.  Here's a little snip of an outfile query:

Action    Action   STATUS                    LIC PGM PTF     STATUS   CREATION  IPL     TYPE       ON    PTF  LIB 
Reqd      Pending                                            DATE     DATE      ACTION             ORDER SAVE     
                                                                                                         FILE
