Now that the FY2017 Form 471 Filing Window has closed, you should take the
time to review each FY2017 Form 471 that you completed.

USAC will issue a Form 471 Receipt Acknowledgment Letter (RAL) in EPC for
each form that you filed and certified. The RAL directs you to review your
form for accuracy and is also a mechanism for correcting any mistakes you
have discovered in your review of the form.

If nothing needs to be changed on your Form 471, no applicant action is
required at this time.

If you need to correct any ministerial or clerical errors, cancel an FRN,
or cancel the Form 471 completely, you can do so by submitting RAL changes
in EPC. You also may add a forgotten funding request or even increase a
funding amount using the RAL, but only if you have a substantiating
document that is dated prior to the date you submitted your Form 471 (such
as an invoice or signed contract).

Instructions for accessing a RAL and submitting corrections to a form are
attached.
