NEW W312 TRANSACTION
IN FILE MAINTENANCE FACILITY PROCESSING
***This bulletin is effective immediately.***
The following new step is added to the File Maintenance Facility’s processing of amendments filed after allowance under 37 CFR 1.312 (Rule 312):
A workflow (Amndt after NOA) is created automatically when an amendment (A.NA) is filed. This workflow is normally automatically closed upon the mailing of the response to the amendment. However, on occasion, if correspondence not related to the amendment is mailed before the amendment response then the workflow will not automatically close and will prevent dispatch to Final Data Capture. The contractor shall perform transaction W312 to close the workflow manually where it is determined that a response to the amendment was completed but the workflow still exists. The date used with the transaction would equal the mailing date of the response to the amendment.
