Year 10 (2007-2008) E-rate Window Dates Set
Message Posted October 22, 2006
~ FCC Approves Eligible Services List ~
The Form 471 filing window will open at noon on Tuesday, November 14, 2006 and will close at 11:59 PM EST on Wednesday, February 7, 2007 (9 days earlier than last year.) The FCC also approved the Year 10 Eligible Services List and I will be summarizing the changes in a subsequent e-mail and at the November 1 E-rate Update for Veterans webinar - to register, go to http://www.pdewebinars.org/index.lasso. There are no changes to the Form 470 or Form 471 from last year.
Please remember that you don’t have to wait until the Form 471 window opens to file your Form 470, Request for Services Form. Please post your Form 470 as soon as possible and don’t wait until the last possible minute. The last possible day (technically) to post a Form 470 is January 10, 2007. Don't wait this long! If you do, you will only have a few hours after your 28 day waiting period has ended to select your service providers, enter into service arrangements, have all contracts signed and dated by both parties, and file your Form 471 by the close of the filing window.
Both the Form 470 and 471 can and should be filed online at http://www.sl.universalservice.org/menu.asp. I will send specific guidance on the Form 470 and 470 shortly.
