Hello all!

from 9-12 there will be an eRate Workshop on Form 471 video conferenced
around the state. More information including registration will be
available soon!

FY2013 Window Opens Today

The FY2013 application filing window for the FCC Form 471 will open at
noon EST today and close at 11:59 pm EDT on Thursday, March 14, 2013.
The window will be open for 93 days.

Helpful Tips and Reminders

*	File early to be sure that you meet program deadlines and have
time to correct errors or file a new form if needed.
*	File online to reduce errors and allow for earlier
acknowledgment and quicker decisions.
*	File your Item 21 attachment(s) online if practicable to reduce
errors. Remember:

	*	Click on the "Submit" button on the last page to submit
your attachment. Clicking "Save and Exit" saves BUT DOES NOT SUBMIT your
attachment.
	*	USAC cannot begin the review of your application until
your Item 21 attachment has been received.
	*	The Item 21 attachment is a window filing requirement.

*	Retain all documents to be able to demonstrate compliance with
program rules.
*	Review program guidance materials - such as the FY2013 Eligible
Services List
<http://www.usac.org/_res/documents/sl/pdf/ESL_archive/EligibleServicesL
ist-2013.pdf>  and the guidance materials in the Applicant Steps
<http://www.usac.org/sl/applicants/default.aspx>  on the USAC website -
so that you are aware of program rules.
*	Ask for assistance if you need it (see below).

IMPORTANT DATES FOR FY2013

February 14, 2013 - This is the last POSSIBLE date to post an FCC Form
470 on USAC's website, meet the 28-day posting requirement for the
competitive bidding process, and submit an FCC Form 471 on the filing
window closing date.

*	If you are filing on paper, we will make every effort to post
your form by February 14 if we RECEIVE it by February 7. Whether filing
online or on paper, the applicant is responsible for meeting the 28-day
posting requirement.

March 14, 2013 - The FY2013 application filing window will close at
11:59 pm EDT. For your FCC Form 471 to be considered as filed within the
filing window, it must be submitted online, received by USAC, or
postmarked no later than the filing window closing date. Your Item 21
attachment(s) must also be submitted online, received by USAC, or
postmarked no later than the filing window closing date.

If you are filing online, we encourage you to certify your FCC Forms 470
and 471 immediately after you submit them. The online system gives you
both electronic and paper certification options on the screen following
the submission screen.

 

Best,
