If all comments cannot fit in Item 60: AME Comments on History and Findings, the Examiner may submit additional information on a plain sheet of paper and include the applicant’s full name, date of birth, signature, any appropriate identifying numbers (PI, MID or SSN), and the date of the exam.
If the Examiner denies the applicant, the Examiner must issue a Letter of Denial, to the applicant, and report the issuance of the denial in Item 60: AME Comments on History and Findings.
