**Form G-117A, Designation of Contact Officials**

Form G-117A is used by employers to add, update and remove individuals from their Contact Official Listing.

**Viewing Contact Official Listing on ERSNet**

Individuals approved to access the G-117A on ERSNet can do so by opening the Account Management menu and selecting Manage Contact Officials.

**Manage Contact Official Screen**

All individuals in an employer’s Contact Official Listing will be displayed on this screen.  Each Contact Official Panel will display the following information:
                        - Name
                        - Title
                        - All Areas the Contact Official is responsible for
                        - Street Address
                        - City, State or Province, ZIP Code or Postal Code
                        - Email 
                        - Phone Number and Extension

To delete an existing Contact Official, users should first note of all the Areas of Responsibility that individual is responsible for.  At least one other Contact Official must exist for each of those Areas of Responsibility before the G-117A will allow the Contact Official to be deleted.  After verifying that replacement Contact Officials exist, users should click the Delete button on the appropriate Contact Official Panel.  If appropriate replacements are not available on the listing, users will be shown an error message indicating which types of Contact Officials must be added before the delete can occur.
