[OPLINTECH] E-Rate: guidance on Form 486 (FY2012) and Form 470 (FY2013) now available

[Mandy Knapp]

Hello all,

I thought you might find this note on how to fill out Form 486 (the
Receipt of Service Confirmation Form) helpful. Apparently the FCC has
not updated the form to reflect the fact that those applying for only
priority 1 services (basic telephone and some select web services) do
not need a technology plan:

Guidance for Completing the FY2012 FCC Form 486 Technology Plan
Certification

Beginning with FY2011, technology plans are required for Priority 2
services only. Because the certification on the FCC Form 486 has not yet
been updated, applicants filing FY2012 FCC Forms 486 featuring funding
requests for Priority 1 services only should complete Block 4, Item 8 of
the form as follows:

*	If you are filing online using the Form 486 Expert, check the
box next to Item 8, choose "Other" from the dropdown menu, and enter
"NONE" in the resulting text box.
*	If you are filing online using the Form 486 Interview, check the
box next to Item 8 and click on "I agree," then choose "Other" from the
dropdown menu and click "Go," then type "NONE" in the resulting text
box.
*	If you are filing on paper, check the box next to Item 8 and
write "NONE" in the space below the Item 8 certification.

 

Also, next fiscal year's (July 1, 2013-June 30, 2014) 470 Form is now
available online. So, if you want to get head-start on your paperwork,
you can J 

FY2013 FCC Form 470 Available for Online Filing

USAC has now enabled online filing
<http://www.sl.universalservice.org/menu.asp>  for FY2013 for the FCC
Form 470, Description of Services Requested and Certification Form. USAC
can also process paper FCC Forms 470 that feature FY2013 as the funding
year in Block 1. (As a reminder, the first day of FY2013 is July 1,
2013.)

If you have already filed an FCC Form 470 for FY2012 and noted in Item
13 that you intended the form for FY2013 services, remember that you
cannot cite this form for non-contracted services provided under tariff
or on a month-to-month basis. For these services, you must file an FCC
Form 470 featuring FY2013 in Block 1, Item 2.

If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know,
