If you were not able to file your Form 471 application by the March 25, 2021 deadline, you should submit the form 471 on or before Thursday, April 8, 2021.\u00a0 Then submit a Request for Deadline Waiver to the FCC, seeking to have your application be considered as timely filed.\u00a0 Please know that if, and when, the FCC grants your Waiver Request, your Form 471 application will THEN go into PIA review (likely at the end of the review queue).<\/p>\n

Please follow these exact steps, in this exact order:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Submit the Form 471 in EPC on or before Thursday, April 8, 2021.\u00a0 The status will be \u2018Filed Outside of Window.\u2019<\/li>\n
  2. Download the attached \u201cForm 471 Deadline Waiver Letter\u201d and complete the highlighted areas with your specific information.\u00a0 Please include a nice statement to the FCC about what this funding means to your school or library.<\/li>\n
  3. Print on school or library letterhead.\u00a0 Sign.\u00a0 Save as .pdf document.<\/li>\n
  4. Go to: \u00a0https:\/\/www.fcc.gov\/ecfs\/filings<\/a>\u00a0and follow the instructions on the attached \u201cFCC Waiver Request Filing Instructions\u201d document.\u00a0 Be sure to hit \u2018Submit\u2019 on the second page of the online form.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Note: The FCC Waiver Letter does NOT need to be submitted by April 8, but be sure to submit it as soon as you can after the 471 is filed.\u00a0 The FCC releases appeal decisions in bulk on the last day of each month.<\/p>\n

    If you have any questions, please let me know.<\/p>\n
