The FY2019 Form 471 is now available in EPC. All interested in filing for E-Rate for any FY2019 eligible services not provided by Networkmaine will need to complete this form. *Getting Started* Are you filing for a contracted service? Enter your contract into the Contracts Module before beginning your Form 471 lest you get lost in the EPC forest. If your FY2019 Form 471 includes a contracted service, the form must refer to a contract that has been entered and saved in the Contracts Module. *Next Steps* If you have filed your Form 470 and your 28 day competitive bidding waiting period has elapsed, you can log into EPC now and get the ball rolling. If not, wait the 28 days from the date you filed a Form 470 or posted an RFP (whichever is later) before submitting your FY2019 Form 471. Guides and guidance of various types are on the Networkmaine E-Rate Resources website, including the following: *Keeping On Track:* http://networkmaine.net/erate/track/track.htm *EPC Guides:* http://networkmaine.net/erate/EPC/EPC.htm *Upcoming E-Rate Deadlines* *FY2019 Form 470 Deadline: *February 27, 2019 *FY2019 Form 471 Application Filing Window:* January 16, 2019 at 12:00 Noon EST – March 27, 2019 at 11:59 PM EDT _________________________________________________ Anne Perloff Maine State E-Rate Coordinator for Schools Networkmaine, University of Maine System US:IT Web: www.networkmaine.net/erate/ Email: [log in to unmask] Phone: 207-581-3584 Mail: Networkmaine 5752 Neville Hall, Rm 255 Orono, ME 04469-5752
