Dear Financial Aid Administrator:

We are planning to make certain data collection changes to the
1997-98 Fiscal Operations Report/1999-2000 Application to
Participate (FISAP). Even though these proposed changes are
still subject to the approval of the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB), we are advising you of them well in advance of the
distribution of the Electronic FISAP materials in July. Enclosed is a
copy of the requirements for your planning purposes.

Please review the following 1999-2000 Award Year changes and
compare them to the 1998-99 Award Year FISAP to ensure that your
institution is completely updated on the proposed new data collection
requirements.

SPECIAL NOTICE: Beginning with the 1999-2000 Award Year,
institutions will be required to submit their FISAP to the Campus-
Based contractor via the Department of Education's Title IV Wide
Area Network (TIVWAN). Institutions will use the Edconnect
software to send their FISAP information through TIVWAN to the
Campus-Based contractor. The data will be processed and returned
to the school's electronic mailbox. You must submit your FISAP
data via the Title IV WAN in order to place your files in the
Campus-Based contractor's electronic mailbox.

To participate in TIVWAN you must file a Letter of Application
and a Participation Agreement by writing to:

Title IV WAN Network Operations Center
P.O. Box 30
Iowa City, IA 52244
