What the document says
“``(4) Electronic submissions.--The Attorney General shall provide a means to permit a practitioner to submit a notification under paragraph (3) electronically.”
The Attorney General must provide a way for a practitioner to file a notification under paragraph (3), by either route, in electronic form.
What the document actually says
“``(4) Electronic submissions.--The Attorney General shall provide a means to permit a practitioner to submit a notification under paragraph (3) electronically.”
That sentence, in plain words
The Attorney General must set up a way to file online. Researchers use it to send the notice.
What this is about
The notice starts the work under this rule. The law does not say what the online path must look like. It says that one must exist.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
