FY2022 Filing Window Opens TODAY! -
The Funding Year (FY) 2022 FCC Form
471 application filing window opens January 12 at 12:00 noon EST
What does this mean?
This means that those of you who have already filed your FCC Form 470 for FY22 AND have waited the mandatory 28-day waiting period can file your FCC Form 471.
Once you’ve done all those things, you’re ready to file your 471 (which is available as of today!)
**Remember to upload any contract/agreement into your EPC portal as well.
When is the 471 for FY22 deadline?
I’m glad you asked! The deadline for filing your FCC Form 471 for FY22 is March 22nd – by 11:59 pm EDT.
So, what if I haven’t filed my 470 yet for FY22?
That is okay. You still have time! The deadline for submitting the FCC Form 470 for FY22 is Tuesday, February 22nd. That is the absolute last day applicants can certify their 470 and
still have time to wait the required 28 days and certify their 471s before the filing window closes on March 22nd. Have I mentioned I would not advise waiting until the deadline day?
😊
USAC issued a special
News brief on Monday, outlining upcoming helpful office hour Q & A style training sessions regarding both the FCC Form 470 and FCC Form 471:
If you are interested in attending, register for the webinar and review all materials referenced for the webinar in advance of the office hours question and answer session. Attendees
