Reminder to click Submit” 

It’s easy to forget to submit authorization forms back to LABC for further processing after a request for more information was made. 

Please remember to press Submit on the bottom of the authorization form once you have saved your comment/​replies to comments, so the form is sent back to LABC. 

A new reminder message has been added under the Comments section of the authorization form and in the new comment window.
