Understanding Regulatory Agency Submissions: Notes with Bubbles and Delta

Understanding the Importance of Notes with Bubbles and Deltas in Regulatory Agency Submissions

Explore the process of submitting documents to regulatory agencies, and learn the significance of notes, bubbles, and deltas in this context. This article provides a comprehensive explanation, detailing what happens when you do not include all necessary information in your initial submission.

Key Insights

  • Notes with bubbles and a delta in regulatory submissions indicate an incomplete initial submission, requiring additional information as per the regulatory agency's checklist.
  • Once the agency's specific tasks or queries are addressed, the submission is resubmitted, with bubbles indicating the modifications made in response to the agency's feedback.
  • The revised submission helps the regulatory agency easily locate the changes made, facilitating a more efficient review process during the subsequent review stages.

Now, when we have notes with bubbles and a delta, what this means is that when we initially submitted our documents to the regulatory agency, we did not include all of the appropriate information. So, there's a revision date that's up here on the top, and you can see that delta one is saying a revision date of the 29th of November. So, when we resubmitted to the regulatory agency, we added these bits of information.

Here's how the process works. When you submit something to the regulatory agency, you submit them a package of information. They have checklists that they want to make sure that you have completed all of these specific tasks included.

If you have not completed all of those tasks to their satisfaction, they give you a checklist, and they say, okay, we're still in process, but we want you to address these particular items. And so, when we addressed these particular items, we addressed them on the submission that we made. And so, we have bubbled out those specific items.

So, this way, when we go back for review again, then the regulatory agency says, oh, now I see on your drawing where you have made the modifications. So, again, this is the enlarged site plan. We just covered a few minutes ago the site plan itself, and what we're going to be working on next will be the actual floor plans.
