The Program Administrator publishes Tips and Tricks to help support stakeholders in avoiding project applications entering Need Info status and delaying their review and approval.
- Common Site Map Error: In Part I applications, a discrepancy between the uploaded site map and Part I, Section 4 of the application is a common cause of Need Info delays.
- For example, a site map showing three arrays containing five, five, and 15 modules, respectively, versus Part I, Section 4 of the application indicating three arrays containing five, seven, and 13 modules, respectively, is an example of a discrepancy that would lead to a Need Info request and delay application approval.
- In this example, the discrepancy leads to a request to clarify which submitted information is correct – the site map or the application – and a requirement of the AV to provide the corrected information. The application would not move forward until the discrepancy is resolved.
