A Web Filing form must be completed and electronically signed online using a myLTSA Enterprise account and in compliance with the directions provided in this guide.

This is a single use form limited to filing one or more priority agreements that use Standardized Part 2 Terms. All charges listed in the priority agreement must be assigned registration numbers. If you want to use your own language to grant the priority agreement, you must use the general Form C (Charge).
