The form must be certified before it gets sent to EGLE. On the Activity overview page, click Proceed to Certification.

The Certifier must review the form before certifying. Click Review Form. The form will appear; review and revise if needed and click Submit at the bottom of the form.

When the Certifier Task is checked off, the Submit to EGLE button will appear. Click Submit to EGLE.

Once Submit To EGLE has been selected, the Certifier will need to complete the Submission Attestation.
