Attached:\u00a0FY 2019 Missing Form 486s as of Dec 3<\/a><\/p>\n

~ 30 Affected Entities, Listed Below and Attached ~<\/p>\n

~ Be Careful to Check Correct Certifications! ~<\/p>\n

This is a friendly reminder that the FY 2019 Form 486 is overdue or has a fast approaching deadline for 30 PA applicants.\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\u00a0is a list of all entities that have been funded for FY 2019 but who haven’t yet filed their Form 486, along with the Form 486 due date.\u00a0\u00a0If your Form 486 due date is in red, you must file this form ASAP in order to not lose E-rate funding.\u00a0 No BEARs or vendor SPIs can be submitted until the Form 486 has been certified\/approved.\u00a0 (Note, there are a few entities that may have filed their 486s but who haven\u2019t had them approved yet by USAC.\u00a0 Those FRNs are still on the list.)<\/p>\n

Deadline to Submit Form:<\/strong>\u00a0 120 days from funding commitment decision letter date, or the Service Start Date listed on the 486, whichever is later.\u00a0 For each 30 days that the 486 is overdue, USAC deducts 1 months\u2019 worth of E-rate funding.<\/p>\n

Filing Late?<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0Complete these 2 steps:\u00a0 1)\u00a0File the 486 ASAP.\u00a0 USAC will then send you a 486 approval letter, but will adjust your service start date to 120 before the 486 filing date which will thus result in a reduction of funding.\u00a0 2) Contact me and I will help you file an appeal with USAC to have your funding restored with a July 1 service start date.<\/p>\n

Filing Guide:<\/strong>\u00a0 A\u00a0Form 486 Filing Guide\u00a0is available at:\u00a0\u00a0https:\/\/e-ratepa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Form-486-Filing-Guide-FY-2019.pdf<\/a>\u00a0that 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.\u00a0\u00a0Extreme Caution<\/strong>:\u00a0 When checking the certification boxes, don\u2019t get click happy!\u00a0 For all applicants except consortia, only check the 1st CIPA certification, and not the last two.\u00a0 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 you weren\u2019t CIPA compliant.\u00a0 Here\u2019s what you SHOULD check.<\/p>\n

\"certa_cert1\"<\/p>\n

CIPA Certifications for Consortia<\/strong>: \u00a0Before Consortia can file their 486, they must first collect a signed Form 479 (each year) from each consortia member.\u00a0 After all 479s have been collected, the consortia lead may file the Form 479 and check the following CIPA certifications.<\/p>\n
