What does the D designation indicate?

• A. Designer of record approval required
• B. Government approval required
• C. For information only
• D. Requires designer of record approval and government conformance review

Answer: (A)

The D designation signals that the design work requires the designer of record to review and approve it. This means the person who prepared the design must sign off before the submittal moves forward, ensuring accountability and that design details are verified by the responsible professional. It isn’t simply for information, and it doesn’t automatically imply government approval is required or that there must be a separate government conformance review unless that specific process is called out elsewhere.
