Late breaking news:

USAC has just announced the dates of two very important windows that affect
all those who wish to apply for E-Rate on their own for Funding Year 2019.
By counting backward 28 days to allow the required time for competitive
bidding, we can also now determine the last day to file an FY2019 Form 470
and still have time to file an FY2019 Form 471 within the filing window.


*Update your EPC profile's organization members and NSLP data*

*The FY2019 Administrative Window:*
*Closes January 15, 2019 at 11:59 PM EST*
(this is your only opportunity to update NSLP and enrollment numbers in EPC
before profiles are locked)


*Request bids for products and services and launch the competitive bidding
process*

*The FY2019 Form 470 Deadline:*
*February 27, 2019*


*Apply for E-Rate funding for the products and services chosen as a result
of the FCC Form 470 process*

*The FY2019 Form 471 Application Filing Window:*
*Wednesday, January 16, 2019 at 12:00 Noon EST – Wednesday, March 27, 2019
at 11:59 PM EDT*
