Exhibit 16 - Electronic Certification - (Rev. 5, 08-30-02)

400.16 - Exhibit 16 - Electronic Certification - (Rev. 5, 08-30-02) A1-1960.16, B1-4960.16 Electronic Certification The Electronic Certification process requires that the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) enter their password in the certifying official's current password field on the remarks page of Form CMS-H750A/B and Form CMS-H751A/B. When the password is keyed in, the CFO's name and title will appear on the document, and allow the document to be submitted electronically through the CAFM. For security purposes, the new password field is present to allow the certifying official to change the password assigned by CMS to one only the CFO knows. Two people are required to submit a certified report. The preparer may input the financial data, but cannot certify the reports. The CFO may not input data. The preparer must retrieve the report in order to allow certification. 1. From the CAFM Main Menu select option 2 - Data Entry 2. Select the type of report to certify 3. From the Data Entry Menu select option 5 - Update Remarks 4. Select the package (report) to certify 5. Enter the certifying official's current password If there are no serious errors (use PF6 SHOW ERRS to show errors), the contractor may submit the report (use PF2 SUBMIT to submit the report) and it will be accepted. If the contractor is working in a worksheet and decides to certify and submit the report, it may either use the function keys (PF7 PAGE- and PF8 PAGE+), enter FREM (find remarks) on the transporter line or use the jump key (PF9 JUMP) to go to the remarks page. The contractor must re-enter its password if it reviews any portion of the report after certification and prior to submission even if no changes are made. CAFM will not store the contractor's password.
