Common use of Non-Substantive Changes Clause in Contracts

Non-Substantive Changes. The AIP may notify the RO with supporting documentation of non-substantive changes to the WA prior to the end of insurance period through the WA ▇▇▇ system (only supporting documentation of the non-substantive change is needed, the AIP does not need to resubmit the entire WA request). The WA may be modified by the RO when the modification does not change the conditions, rates, or other information applicable to the terms of the WA, and the AIP notified the RO prior to the end of insurance period. Non-substantive changes that may be made include changing the policy number under the same AIP (a policy number change does not require a modified approved WA unless validation is required for RMA systems), a change in the FSA FN/Tract/Field numbers (a modified approved WA must be issued when the original WA is issued with the CLU land level or the FSA FN/Tract/Field land level and the associated CLU identification number changes, otherwise a modified approved WA is not necessary; when the original WA is issued at the FSA FN/Tract/Field land level and the CLU identification number does not change, the RO may issue a modified approved WA at the RO’s discretion), etc. The RO will issue a modified approved WA to the AIP, as necessary, providing an explanation of the original and the corrected information on the WA cover letter. The original WA dates of acceptance will be retained.
