Attached:\u00a0479 Fill In – FY 2022<\/a><\/p>\n

Before a consortium lead can file the Form 486 each year, it is required to collect from each consortium member a signed Form 479 to provide notification of the consortium member\u2019s status of compliance with the Children\u2019s Internet Protection Act (CIPA).\u00a0 After the consortium leader has collected all the FCC Forms 479 from the consortium members, the consortium leader can\u00a0then<\/em>\u00a0file the Form 486 in EPC.<\/p>\n

The Form 479 is not completed in EPC; it is a PDF document that is available on the USAC website, along with the form\u2019s instructions, at\u00a0https:\/\/www.usac.org\/e-rate\/applicant-process\/before-you-begin\/consortia\/fcc-form-479-filing\/<\/a>.\u00a0 The Form 479 is a very easy form to complete (note, the Name of Administrative Authority should be the consortia member\u2019s name and address, not that of the consortia lead.\u00a0 Also be sure that the Funding Year says 2022.)\u00a0 I\u2019ve attached a version that has fillable fields if you prefer to use this one instead. \u00a0I took the liberty of checking 6A which says the consortia member is CIPA compliant.<\/p>\n

The signed Form 479s are not submitted to USAC unless requested during a pre-commitment or post-commitment audit. \u00a0The signed forms must, however, be retained by the consortia lead for a period of ten years after the last date to receive service. \u00a0If USAC discovers that the FCC Form 486 is filed before the consortium lead collects all of the signed Form 479s, USAC may reduce funding.<\/p>\n

Unlike a Letter of Agency (LOA), a signed Form 479 must be collected\u00a0annually<\/strong>\u00a0from each consortium member.\u00a0 An LOA, on the other hand, may cover multi-years (but cannot be open-ended).<\/p>\n

In PA, we have 52 different consortia (listed below).\u00a0 If your entity is a consortium lead and you have not yet collected the FY 2022 Form 479s, please have your members sign them as soon as possible.\u00a0 Electronic signatures are acceptable.<\/p>\n

If you have any questions related to the Form 479, please don\u2019t hesitate to contact me at\u00a0jtschell@comcast.net.<\/p>\n
