This page serves as a help tool to view, download, or resubmit a previous submission. Each year a facility or supplier submits a report, a copy of the report for that facility or supplier is saved in the e-GGRT system. This feature allows you to view, download, or resubmit a report from previous years. To complete any one of these tasks, login to your e-GGRT account and follow the instructions listed below.

This will open the facility overview screen for the facility and year you have selected. In order to view a report, find the ANNUAL REPORT SUBMISSION HISTORY table. Within this table you will see each version of the annual report which has been submitted for that year. For example, some facilities or suppliers may have more than one version of the reporting form for a year depending on how many times they generated and submitted it.
Make sure to choose the most up-to-date version of the report (i.e., the one with the highest version number). The following selections are available:
- HTML - provides a view of the report in an HTML framework.
- XML - provides a view of the report in an XML framework.
- Receipt - provides a copy of the submission receipt you received upon originally submitting your report.
- Download ZIP - provides a zipped copy of your submission including your HTML report, XML submission, and any reporting forms attached to the submission.
- Comprehensive Verification Summary - provides a summary report of any validation messages that may have resulted during data entry or report generation.
