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.
