a Submitted Form 471<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; If you have submitted a Form 471 for FY 2023 and now would like to make changes to the application, cancel individual FRNs or cancel the 471 entirely, these requests are submitted using the \u201cRAL Modification Process\u201d in EPC.\u00a0 RAL modifications can be made anytime between the time a Form 471 is submitted \u2013 and the day the FCDL issued (not after).\u00a0 I strongly encourage you submit your 471 corrections as soon as you know of a change that must be made so the PIA reviewer can have it in-hand during their review.\u00a0 Applicants may submit RAL Modifications after the Form 471 window closes, but with so many applications moving quickly to \u201cWave Ready\u201d status, it\u2019s important that your RAL request is considered before USAC begins issuing funding commitment waves in mid-April.\u00a0 RAL Modification Guide:\u00a0\u00a0<a
