Re: "marked" as compliant?

I've been the 508 person at my company (a contractor for CMS) for 2 1/2 years now, and we've never been asked nor trained to attach nor complete the HHS checklist, a footer, or add a medallion. We *do* follow the checklists as part of our procedures to make documents compliant, but not as a formal part of submission. (We treat the checklists as just internal reminders, not as deliverables.) We've never been asked to submit anything additional. When we deliver our documents, we deliver accessibility reports (separately, not attached) for each document. With that said, we've never received any communication from a 508 person at CMS!
