Contact Information Changes

Applicants can now make changes to certain Block 1 contact information of most SLD forms post-commitment (that is, after a Funding Commitment Decision Letter has been issued for their Form 471). The following information can be changed:

Entity’s Street Address, P.O. Box, or Route Number, City, State, Zip Code
Entity’s Telephone Number
Entity’s Fax Number
Entity’s E-mail Address
Contact Person’s Name
Contact Person’s Street Address, P.O. Box, or Route Number, City, State, Zip Code
Contact Person’s Telephone Number
Contact Person’s Fax Number
Contact Person’s E-mail Address
Holiday/vacation/summer contact information (Form 471, Block 1, Item 6f)
Preferred mode of contact (if applicable)
Alternate (technical) Contact Person’s Name, Title, Telephone Number, Fax Number, E-mail Address (Form 470, Block 2, Item 11)

A request for change of contact information can be processed for an active form. A request can also be processed to permanently change one or more of these items in the SLD database. (Note that information on preferred mode of contact is stored separately for each form and is NOT captured in the SLD database.) If a change in contact information is made in the SLD database, the new information will prepopulate any forms filed online, and may be used to communicate with applicants in place of the previous information.

Allowable changes to Form 470 contact information will be processed once the ability to post a Form 470 for the Funding Year referenced on the Form 470 is no longer available.
