USAC has announced that the FY2015 E-Rate Form 471 filing window has been
extended by three weeks and will now close at 11:59 PM EDT on April
16, 2015.

If you need this extension, by all means take advantage of it.

Having said that, PIA is already currently reviewing applications. If you
are ready to submit and certify your Form 471, do so soon as those
applications that have been submitted, certified and meet program
requirements will likely receive a funding decision first.

History tells us that increased usage and heavy traffic will slow down the
online Form 471 system significantly in the last weeks of the (newly
extended) Form 471 filing window, so I recommend that you file as early as
possible.
