*For all those who wish to apply for E-Rate on their own for Funding Year
2020 (meaning filing for E-Rate for products and services other than those
that Networkmaine provides its members): *

USAC has announced the annual Form 471 filing window dates for FY2020. By
counting backward 28 days to allow the required time for competitive
bidding, we can also now determine the last day to file an FY2020 Form 470
- and take advantage of the FY2020 Category 2 budget bump - and still have
time to file an FY2020 Form 471 within the filing window.




*Update your EPC profile's organization members and NSLP data*

*The FY2020 Administrative Window:*
*Closes shortly before January 15, 2020*
(this is your only opportunity to update NSLP and enrollment numbers in EPC
before profiles are locked)




*Request bids for products and services and launch the competitive bidding
process*

*The FY2020 Form 470 Deadline:*
*February 26, 2020*

*Apply for E-Rate funding for the products and services chosen as a result
of the FCC Form 470 process*

*The FY2020 Form 471 Application Filing Window:*
*Wednesday, January 15, 2020 at 12:00 Noon EST – Wednesday, March 25, 2020
at 11:59 PM EDT*
