FY 2025 Form 486s Due for Many Applicants
October 23, 2025
Attached: FY2025-486-Due-List-as-of-10-23-2025.xlsx
~ 85 Affected Entities, Spreadsheet Attached ~
~ Be Careful to Check Correct Certifications ~
This is a friendly reminder for schools and libraries that have not yet filed their Form 486 for FY 2025. The 486 certifies receipt of services/CIPA compliance and is due within 120 days of the funding commitment letter date or the start of services (whichever is later).
Attached is a list of the entities that have been funded for FY 2025 but haven’t yet filed their Form 486, along with the Form 486 due date. For each 30 days that the 486 is overdue, USAC deducts 1 month’s worth of E-Rate funding. In addition, no BEARs or vendor SPIs can be submitted until the Form 486 has been certified/approved. So don’t delay – file the 486 now. Notes:
— I included internal connections FRNs where no 486 has been filed, but some applicants choose to wait and file these after the PO has been issued or any equipment received.
— Also included are FRNs whose 486 are due in the upcoming months. There is still plenty of time to file these 486s, but I wanted to include them just as an early reminder.
You can access the Form 486 Filing Guide that I encourage you to keep handy as you’re completing the 486, by going to https://e-ratepa.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Form-486-Filing-Guide-FY-2025.pdf. It explains what to click and not click to make the form even easier to navigate. Caution: When checking the certification boxes, don’t get click happy! For all applicants except consortia, only check the 1st CIPA certification, and not the last two. If you check one of the last two, it unchecks the first certification, and your application will be held for months until USAC reaches out to you to determine if you meant to report that you weren’t CIPA compliant. Here’s what you SHOULD check.
CIPA Certifications for Consortia: Before Consortia can file their 486, they must first collect a signed Form 479 (each year) from each consortia member. After all 479s have been collected, the consortia lead may file the Form 479 and check the following CIPA certifications.
