POTWs are stored in an index file. This index file can be accessed from two different places—from the Edit POTW command button
in Part II, Section 6.1.B of Form R and by selecting Maintenance from the Submissions pull-down menu. Although you can edit
POTWs from two different places, you can only insert a POTW from Part II, Section 6.1 .B of Form R. To add, edit, or delete a
POTW to the index file, select Maintenance from the Submissions pull-down menu (see illustrations below).

Click Edit POTW(s) to select or edit
