​PIA Reviews for FY2016 will begin very soon.

Unlike in previous years, applicants will not be emailed Program Integrity
Assurance (PIA) questions. Instead, applicants will receive and answer
questions entirely within EPC.

For FY2016, USAC will send all PIA questions to the EPC News feed for the
Form 471's main contact person, and applicant responses will then be sent
back to USAC using EPC.

I have added a guide and information on how this process will work to the
Networkmaine E-Rate site at:
http://networkmaine.net/erate/track/track.htm

In short, watch your EPC News feed for a 15-day notification letter if you
have certified a Form 471.

*Hint: *to avoid the humongous list of News items from across the country,
you can view only the news items related to your organization by avoiding
the News tab in the blue bar at the top and performing the following steps
instead ...

   1. Go to the EPC Landing Page for your organization         (clicking on
   the USAC logo anywhere in EPC will take you to the Landing Page)
   2. In the My Entities section, click on the link for your independent
   school or school district
   3. Click on the "News" link in the menu on the left side of the page​
