Hi again! This is a reminder about certifying the FCC Form 486 by the deadline for FY 2022 (fiscal year 2022-2023). Remember - this is the form that you file after you've received your FCDL (funding commitment decision letter) and your services have started. This is the form that let's USAC know your services have started and also indicates your status of compliance with CIPA (the Children's Internet Protection Act). You file the FCC Form 486 in your EPC portal<https://forms.universalservice.org/portal/login>. For a step-by-step video guide to filing this form, click here<https://www.usac.org/e-rate/learn/videos/#FCC-Form-486-and-CIPA>. Please see further details below, also from the September 15th USAC Newsbrief<https://view.outreach.usac.org/?qs=fc42f5ed5085cbea6c603ff82ae3998eeaa486a06a4205099014d3fb2c3aae8a33f545849160a6d9a82b6387d03746d114d0e9c831017854445e87eaeb82dbae86af6dd9adbcaac0#form486>: ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ FY2022 FCC Form 486 Deadline Reminder October 31, 2022 is the deadline to file an FY2022 FCC Form 486 if your FCDL is dated on or before July 1, 2022 and your service start date is July 1, 2022. If these conditions apply to you, please submit and certify your FCC Form 486<https://click.outreach.usac.org/?qs=4ac4223e558b5a712e3eee77b3881704352e9fcc8089e2737c4d66d6824dd92fba7bf772adc338950e008b094262c686b4e574345c88790f> on or before this deadline. If your FCC Form 486 appears to be late, we will send you an FCC Form 486 Urgent Reminder Letter to remind you of the upcoming deadline. Note that we use the service start date you reported on your FCC Form 471 to determine when to send the letter, so if your service start date has changed, your deadline may have changed as well. This reminder letter is posted to your News feed in EPC, and emailed to the contact person on the FCC Form 471. These letters will start going out after October 31, 2022 for FY2022 commitments. You have 15 days after the date of this letter to certify your FCC Form 486 without penalty. Again, if your service start date has changed, the service start date you enter on your certified FCC Form 486 will determine whether your filing is considered late. Applicants whose services started after July 1, 2022, or whose FCDLs are dated after July 1, 2022 (including any that have not yet been issued), will have an FCC Form 486 deadline later than October 31. However, we encourage you to submit and certify your FCC Form 486 as soon as possible after services start for FY2022 and if you can accurately make all of the certifications on the form. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Happy Friday!
