~ List of Possible Affected Entities Attached ~

The last date to have FY 2019 and FY 2020 Category 2, internal connections equipment delivered and installed is September 30, 2021 — just 15 days away (the FY 2019 deadline was automatically extended by a year due to COVID).   Below is a list of PA applicants that may not have received and/or installed their FY 2019 and FY 2020 internal connections equipment yet (based on the fact that no disbursements have been made by USAC for these FRNs).  To obtain additional time to receive or install the equipment, applicants must submit a Form 500 to request a 12-month Service Delivery Deadline Extension (SDDE) and that Form 500 must be submitted online in EPC by September 30, 2021.  There are no exceptions to this deadline.  Please be certain to explain in the Form 500 the good reason why you could not meet this deadline.

Attached are detailed spreadsheets that show all FY 2019 and FY 2020 FRNs  (separate files) where no invoices (BEARs or SPIs) have been paid by USAC; the affected entities also is listed below.  A few important notes:

• If no Form 486 has been filed yet, it is highlighted in yellow (Column I).
• If the vendor has not submitted their FY 2019 or FY 2020 Form 473 SPAC Form with USAC, it is noted in red (Column H).  The Form 473 must be submitted by the vendor before any BEAR or vendor invoices can be submitted to USAC.
• If you received the equipment, but have not yet installed it, you should file a Form 500 to seek an extension.  The deadline for all equipment to be installed is also September 30, 2021.
• If you purchased the equipment but are on the list because you haven’t yet invoiced USAC, remember that the deadline to submit the BEAR or SPI to USAC is January 28, 2022.
• I’ve removed the few FRNs from the list where the deadline has already been extended until 9/30/2022.
