"The authorized person on the Form 471 — the person whose signature appears in
the Form 471 Item 34 — certifies that he or she is the person authorized to
submit and certify to the accuracy of the application. This person must be
authorized to represent any and all of the entities for which discounts are
sought in the funding requests featured on the application. During its review
of the Form 471, the SLD may require copies of the documentation that confirms
this person’s authorization to represent all of the entities featured on the
Form 471."
"The evidence that establishes this authorization — and therefore, that
establishes the relationship between the authorized person and the entities
featured on the form — is generally a Letter of Agency (LOA). A Letter of
Agency (LOA) is most commonly signed by consortium members and kept on file by
their consortium leader to verify their knowledge of their membership and
participation in the consortium. Other vehicles to establish this authorization
could be a project agreement, a contract, a letter agreement, or other similar
document."
