How do variant strings affect Name Collision High-Risk Mitigation Plan Evaluation?

Both the applied-for primary string and any allocatable variant strings are assessed for name collision risk. If any primary string is identified as high risk, the application cannot proceed until the Mitigation Plan Evaluation is completed and successful. For allocatable variant strings, the applicant may amend the application to remove the high-risk variant string, if applied for, allowing the rest of the application to proceed.
