The FCC Form 471 application filing window for Funding Year 2015 *will open
at noon EST on Wednesday, January 14, 2015 and will close at 11:59 pm EDT
on Thursday, March 26, 2015*. The filing window will be open for 72 days.

You must wait 28 days after the FCC Form 470 is POSTED to the USAC website
before you can select a service provider, sign a contract (if applicable),
and submit an FCC Form 471. If you issue an RFP after the FCC Form 470 is
posted, you must wait 28 days from the release of the RFP to select a
service provider.

This means that *Thursday, February 26, 2015 is the last day to post an FCC
Form 470* to the USAC website or issue an RFP and still complete all of
these actions before the Form 471 window closes.
