Reminder: *The FY2016 E-Rate Form 471 filing window closes at 11:59 PM EDT
on April 29, 2016*.

This applies to anyone requesting E-Rate funding for products or services
not arranged by Networkmaine.

If you filed a new Form 470 this year:

    - you must wait 28 days before choosing a vendor or service provider

    - you cannot file the Form 471 before the Allowable Vendor
Selection/Contract Date identified in your Form 470 Receipt Notification
Letter available in your EPC News feed

    - the Contract Award Date that you report must be on or after the
Allowable Vendor Selection/Contract Date but before you certify the Form 471

If you did not need to file a new Form 470 this year due to an existing
multi-year contract from a prior year's Form 470, you can certify your Form
471 at any time before the window closes.
