[OPLINLIST] e-rate deadline reminders

[Mandy Knapp]

Hello all,

 

I just wanted to make sure you were aware that the USAC  offices (the
administrator of eRate) closed yesterday and today due to Hurricane
Sandy. No word yet if this will extend any deadlines. 

 

Best,

Happy Friday Everyone!

 

I wanted to share a couple eRate deadlines with you from Lorrie Germann,
State eRate Coordinator :

 

 

The invoicing deadline (Billed Entity Applicant Reimbursement (BEAR)
Forms and SPI Forms) for recurring FY2011 services is Monday, October
29, 2012.  Invoice deadline extension requests, if required, will
generally be granted if filed within the next few months.  For help on
the BEAR form, please see 
https://www2.sl.universalservice.org/bear/472_help.html

 

 

Normally, the Form 486 deadline for early funding waves would have also
been on October 29th.  However, since the first two waves for FY2012
were not issued until July 10th (Wave 1) and July 11th (Wave 2) this
year, those Form 486 deadlines will be November 7th and November 8th,
respectively.

 

Because of changes in the technology plan requirements, where plans are
now only required if you are applying for Priority 2 funding, many
libraries have not renewed their tech plans.  However, Block 4 of the
Form 486 has not been updated to incorporate the change and still
requires you to click Box 8 even if you do not have a current tech plan.
To complete Box 8,  click on the down arrow where you choose your Plan
Approver and choose "Other".  When you do that, you will receive a field
where you enter the word "None".  

 

If you have questions, or need additional information, please let me
know.

 

Best,
