Enhancement to Distribution Procedure for

Annual Reasonability, AMF and LPIF
Technical Update GA–2004–08

September 30, 2004

This information is intended for the person in your organization who is responsible for working
with NSLDS. If that person is not you, please forward this update to the appropriate person.

NSLDS is pleased to announce that back-up detail files for GA Annual Reasonability, Account
Maintenance Fee (AMF), and Loan Processing Issuance Fee (LPIF), will be available via the
Student Aid Internet Gateway (SAIG).

Files will continue to be sent via your current preference, either tape or cartridge, to the person
currently designated to receive data submittals. If you wish to receive the back-up detail files
through SAIG instead, or want to designate a different person to receive back-up data via tape or
cartridge, please complete Attachment A and return it to NSLDS@pearson.com. Only one
recipient can be designated for each function (Annual Reasonability, AMF, and LPIF), but the
recipient does not need to be the same person for all functions.

The new message classes will be:

Annual Reasonability GAARYROP (annual calculation)

GAARQTOP (quarterly calculation)
AMF GAAMFDOP
LPIF GALPFDOP
