   in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services publication Magnetic Media Reporting.  
 
2. If this is your first magnetic filing, submit a hard copy of your wage data with your media (CD-R, 
   cartridge ).  If the media is correct, it will be processed.    If it is rejected, the hard copy will be 
   processed and we will notify you of the problems.  After you receive notification that you are an 
   approved magnetic media reporter, it is no longer necessary to provide a hard copy. 
 
3. Include a copy of a completed Transmitter Report with each media . (see Appendix B). 
 
4. If you are using a CD-R  -use a felt tip permanent marker to label the CD-R, place the CD-R in a 
   protective case and place an external label on the outside of the protective case that includes all 
   necessary information. (see Appendix C). 
  
   For cartridges place an external label on each cartridge that includes all necessary information. (see 
   Appendix C).

   (any length).
