Overview
Master General Permits are a special category of permit that are that not issued to a particular facility. A Master General Permit is a "template" permit that defines conditions under which other coverages or authorizations which are issued to a facility are associated (linked).
When a workflow is added to a submission that yields a Coverage under Master General Permit, the Master General Permit under which the coverage will be issued is either specified either by the user adding the workflow or defaulted to a specific Master General Permit that has been specified on the selected Workflow Template.

Intointo Effect
When a new master general permit (MGP) is in the status of In Process, a processor can link new coverages to the MGP. When linked and the processing is finished, the status of the coverage can be set to Ready to Be Issued.
When the MGP is set to In Effect, the system will automatically
update the linked coverages
issued
update the effective date to match the MGP
set the linked coverages to In Effect.
set the coverages' associated submissions
to Completed
The expiration date of the coverage will be determined in the permit category lookup settings'Expire Date Options'.
Authorization Renewal while Master General Permit is In Effect
If a renewal submission is received for an authorization that is linked to an effective MGP, then the existing authorization can be configured to automatically be assigned the status of Extended when the MGP expires.
For more information, please visit the Permit Categories article and the ‘Automatically Extend Permit upon Expiration’ setting. This ensures that while the new authorization version is In Process, the old permit version is still active. This allows coverage not to lapse after the MGP expires but while the new permit version is In Process.
