The deadline for filing and having your service provider
certify any Form 472 BEARs for FY2013-2014 is October 28, 2014.
As previously discussed, USAC used to grant an extension unasked, but under the new E-Rate Modernization rules you must now ask for one. A single 120 day extension will be automatically granted only upon request on or before the invoice deadline.
If at this point you have any outstanding BEARs from FY2013-2014 or BEARs
that you have completed but your service provider has not yet certified, I
suggest that you play it safe by requesting an invoice extension from USAC for
all active FY2013-2014 FRNs for which invoices have not yet been submitted AND
approved.
Remember, your BEAR is not considered complete until the service provider certifies it.
