The FY2017 Form 486 is now available in EPC.

After receiving a Funding Commitment Decision Letter (FCDL) for an Funding
Request Number (FRN), this form is the next step to be completed in order
to request E-Rate reimbursements. The Form 486 notifies USAC that services
have started and that invoicing for the E-Rate discount portion of those
services can begin, and also certifies the entity's CIPA compliance.

*Every FRN on every Form 471 for which you receive a FCDL must be included
on a Form 486. *

As your various FRNs are likely to appear in different funding waves, you
may very well end up with different Form 486 deadlines. Keep track of the
deadline for each FRN because if your Form 486 is late, USAC will deduct a
portion of your funding for each day that it is late.



*Form 486 Deadlines*

*For those FRNs in the early FY2017 funding waves dated prior to July 1
(assuming services start on July 1):*
October 29, 2017

*For those FRNs with an FCDL dated July 1 or later:*
120 days after the date of the FCDL or the start of services (whichever is
later)
