A copy of Excel is required to open the application on a Windows computer, it is not compatible with Mac computers.

Transmittal sheet data is entered on the 3rd row under the blue header in the fields specified by the blue header.

LAR data is entered starting on the 5th row under the green header in the fields specified by the grean header. Each additional LAR should entered on subsequent lines such that the first LAR is on row 5, the second on row 6, and so on.
