The Form 471 that is to be used for E-Rate applications for FY2014 includes a new Item 24. This item replaces the old Block 2. If you are completing a paper version of the Form 471, make sure that the version of the form you are using displays "FCC Form 471 - December 2013" in the footer. If you are filing online, the correct version of the form will automatically be provided via USAC's Apply Online page ( http://www.sl.universalservice.org/menu.asp). I have created a primer with guidance on how to complete the Item 24 which you can access here: *http://networkmaine.net/erate/forms/form471_item24.pdf*<http://networkmaine.net/erate/forms/form471_item24.pdf> Don't forget the deadline is fast approaching! The Form 471 filing window closes on March 26. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. _____________________________________________ *Anne Perloff* Maine State E-Rate Coordinator for Schools Networkmaine ... a division of the University of Maine System Web: www.networkmaine.net/erate/ Email: [log in to unmask] Phone: 207-561-3584 Fax: 207-561-3531 Mail: Networkmaine 5752 Neville Hall Rm 244 University of Maine Orono, ME 04469 ---
