Common use of Non-Substantive Changes Clause in Contracts

Non-Substantive Changes. The AIP may notify the RO of non-substantive changes to the WA by submitting supporting documentation through the WA ▇▇▇ system prior to the end of insurance period. The AIP does not need to resubmit the entire WA request; only supporting documentation of the non-substantive change is needed. The WA may be modified by the RO when the modification does not change the conditions, rates, or terms of the WA. The RO will supersede the original WA and issue a modified WA with no signature required 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. (1) The original WA must be superseded and a modified WA with no signature required must be issued for: (a) a change in the FSA FN/Tract/Field numbers when the original WA was issued at the CLU or the FSA FN/Tract/Field land level and the associated CLU identification number changes; or (b) non-substantive changes that require validation for RMA systems. (2) Superseding the original WA and providing a modified WA is not required for: (a) a change in the FSA FN/Tract/Field numbers when the CLU identification number has not changed (the RO may supersede the original WA and issue a modified WA with no signature required at the RO’s discretion); or (b) non-substantive changes that do not require validation for RMA systems (such as changing the policy number under the same AIP).
