These Vendors Must Submit Form 473 SPACs for FY 2023 or 2024

July 22, 2024

Attached: Form 472 SPAC User Guide

~ Impacted PA schools and libraries also listed ~

Each E-rate funding year, E-rate service providers are required to submit the Form 473 Service Provider Annual Certification (SPAC) Form to USAC to provide updated contact information and make their annual compliance certifications.  The SPAC must be certified for each funding year before USAC can pay BEARs or SPIs for that funding year.  Service providers that have more than one SPIN must file a SPAC for each SPIN.

Listed below are the 32 service providers listed on PA FY 2023 and 2024 applications that have NOT filed their FY 2023 or FY 2024 Form 473 SPACs.  If your provider is on this list, please reach out and remind them to submit this form as soon as possible.  If their SPAC hasn’t been filed/approved, the FRNs linked to that SPIN will not show up in the invoicing portal, so it’s important that all SPACs are up to date when you order services/equipment.  I’ve also included at the bottom of this message the 51 impacted schools and libraries.

For future reference, if you want to know if your service provider has filed their SPAC for a particular funding year, go to https://data.usac.org/publicreports/SpinDownload/Spin/Download and enter the SPIN number > Search.  Then scroll down the page and you’ll see the provider’s information, with the far-right column showing show all of the E-rate funding years for which the provider has filed their SPAC.  This search will also show you whom to contact at the company regarding their Form 473 SPAC filing.

Attached is a Form 473 SPAC User Guide to help guide vendors through the online interface and form.
