If any concerns are identified, MDE will return the final report to the ISD. ISDs should check MDE comment box on the Getting Started page of the final report for additional information. Once MDE accepts the final report, the status Final Report Accepted by MDE will be displayed in the status history. Catamaran will then advance the GSSG Activity to GSSG Activity Completed.

If MDE returns the GSSG Final Report, update the form, and then resubmit (following steps 7 and 8). The status will change to Final Report Resubmitted to MDE.
