~ Affected Entities Attached<\/a> ~ This is a friendly reminder that the Form 486 deadline is fast approaching for applicants that were funded in the first few waves of FY 2016.\u00a0 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).<\/p>\n Attached is a list of all entities that have been funded for FY 2016 but who haven’t yet filed their Form 486, along with the Form 486 due date.\u00a0 If your Form 486 due date is in red, you must file this form ASAP in order to not lose E-rate funding.<\/p>\n A few important notes:<\/p>\n * If you have not yet received your FCDL, you cannot submit a 486 for those FRNs still pending SLD decision. When those applications are funded, those applicants will then have 120 days from the date of the FCDL to submit their 486.<\/p>\n * If you want discounted bills, you must file your Form 486 right away so the service provider can invoice USAC.<\/p>\n * The new 486 is really easy to use as the fields are now all pre-populated<\/strong>.\u00a0 A helpful Form 486 Guide is attached<\/a> to this message and I encourage you to keep handy as you’re completing the 486.\u00a0 It explains what to click and not click to make the form even easier to navigate.<\/p>\n * If you have an FRN that you no longer need, please file a Form 500 to release the funds (and get off of future lists!).\u00a0 The easiest type-in version is at:\u00a0 http:\/\/www.e-ratecentral.com\/formsRack\/app\/Form500.asp<\/a>.<\/p>\n If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me!<\/p>\n — Julie<\/p>\n Julie Tritt Schell<\/p>\n PA E-rate Coordinator<\/p>\n 717-730-7133 – o
