Word Template

Introduction and Instructions

As set forth in the Instructions for the 2023 Mandatory Data Collection (Instructions), a full response to the data collection includes completion of this Word template, which shall contain responses to questions identified in the Instructions as requiring a narrative explanation. This template shall also be used to provide any additional information needed to ensure that your response is full and complete and to identify and explain any caveats associated with your response. This template shall also include formulas, explanations, and appropriate references for calculations, where necessary, including any explanations needed to make your entries on the Excel template transparent and understandable.

In this template, we have consecutively numbered each of the inquiries identified in the Instructions as requiring a narrative explanation and included a cross reference to the appropriate section of the Instructions. Thus, all cross references in this template are to the Instructions. For any additional explanatory responses beyond those explicitly required by the Instructions, please number that response after the last numbered inquiry in this document and, as part of that response, clearly specify the section and question in the Instructions to which your answer corresponds.

All terms defined in the Instructions have the same meaning where they are used in this document.
