Description
RMI guidance (Downstream FAQ) explains that CMRT updates are typically released in April and are intended for use in the next year’s filing cycle. The FAQ advises companies to use the most recent CMRT version when launching their annual supplier survey, document which CMRT version they accepted, and indicates companies generally do not need to re-survey suppliers solely because a new CMRT version is released in April for the upcoming filing. Compliance teams can use this guidance to set internal survey timing, version-control practices, and supplier outreach policies around CMRT annual updates.
