what psychologists call processing of information that guides behaviour, but without conscious awareness, and without interfering with other conscious activity that may be going on at the same time: for example, driving slowly down a street (automatic processing) while looking for a specific address (conscious processing)

The ability of the ULS to process (grant, dismiss, etc.) a request filed by an applicant without the need for staff review or intervention. This is possible if ULS does not need to offline the file to Inbox for errors, major filings, waivers, etc. For example, renewal applications and routine construction notifications may be auto–processed.
