This is a detail guide to be used in conjunction with the 2049 General User Guide (User Guide 10) and Creating/Revising 

Electronic Outlines (User Guide 18). It is not intended for stand-alone use. 

This guide pertains to submitting Outlines of Production and Special Outlines for licensed or prelicense product.

Reform and Enhancement Act of 1996.***

The CVB will not process individual page changes.

After electing to add an incoming outline, the following information is requested:

File: Identify the file to be uploaded.

Comments: Enter any comments specific to the individual Outline being uploaded. 

Attaching Other Supporting Documents

• Documents other than the actual Outlines may be added with the attachment type “Incoming (Core) Document”.

• Such supporting documents may include, but are not limited to, additional instructions/requests for your reviewer.

• Do NOT attach APHIS Form 2015, as this is not necessary for portal submissions.

• It is not necessary to submit a compiled Summary of Changes (as all changes are tracked in-line). If, however, you wish

to submit a Summary of Changes in addition to in-line tracking, submit the Summary as a separate document. Do not

insert it to the Outline.

There will be an Outline file returned with an updated version number. If the Outline was approved (digitally signed), the 

outgoing version will be designated as the incoming version + “-CVB”. If the Outline was returned unprocessed, it will not be 

digitally signed and the outgoing version number will be the incoming version + “-UP”. 

There also may be a comments document; if there are no comments, there will be a “No Return Form Comments” statement 

in the CVB Response section.
