Adding comments to project application sections to explain changes, relationships, and discrepancies can provide helpful clarification that prevent Need Info requests. Examples include:
- Explaining why the name on the Proof of Site Control is different from the name on the Interconnection Agreement.
- For example, “Jack Baker and Jane Miller are a married couple”. If a comment is not made explaining the relationship between the two names, a Need Info request would result.
- Explaining why the address on supporting documents is different from the address on the Disclosure Form and application.
- For example, “The address at 1234 S Main St is the correct physical address, while the address listed on the documentation, 1134 S Main St, is the utility address associated with the project.”
- Indicating a change in the installer between the Disclosure Form and Part I application, or between the Part I and Part II applications. These applications would enter Need Info status unless explanatory comments are provided.
- For example, “The installer is Company ABC. Business XYZ uses its services as a subcontractor and obtains the documentation for the customer.”
- Noting AC size changes that required a new Disclosure Form be signed.
- For example, “A new DF (12345) has been signed due to change in AC size.”
Keep in mind that applications must still provide all necessary data in applicable fields. Overview comments cannot be used to circumvent Program or application requirements.
