Subject: FY2016 Form 471 Window Extended

Good Evening All,

Today, USAC announced that the FY2016 application filing window is extended to allow applicants more time to submit their applications.



First, they are extending the window for all applicants by four weeks with a new closing date of May 26, 2016.



With the recent deployment of bulk upload templates and additional updates and solutions coming over the next few weeks, we believe that the IT systems will be sufficiently stable to allow most applicants, and all schools and school districts, sufficient time to file their applications by May 26.



Second, when the window closes on May 26, a second filing window will open for consortia and libraries, which will close on July 21, 2016. USAC recognizes that consortia and libraries are unable to complete their applications until their member/related school district(s) finalize their discount rates in the system.



If you have questions, or need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me.  Have a great weekend.





Sincerely,



Lorrie
