Most other resource providers will communicate needed information to ACCESS staff, with an estimated effort of <1 hour, and ACCESS will enter the information into CiDeR for them. ACCESS Verification: Automated: ACCESS will verify that CiDeR information is complete automatically on a daily basis, and communicate discrepancies to to the RP.
