When USAC releases an FCDL, the Form 471 contact and EPC Account Administrator (AA) will receive an email with a .pdf of the letter attached. Please review the FCDL carefully to make sure you agree with USAC’s decision. If all looks good, the next step is to file the Form 486 and contact your vendors to request discounted billing if you so desire. </span><br><br>
