[PL-Directors] E-rate news: Form 471 filing window open

[Pam Horan]

The Form 471 application filing window for Funding Year 2004 opened at 
noon yesterday, November 5, 2003. Applicants who have completed the 
required 28-day posting period for their Forms 470 may now file Form 
471.  The filing window closes on February 4, 2004 at 11:59 PM EST.

There are two options available for filing a Form 471 online from the 
Schools and Library Division (SLD) Apply Online page 
<http://www.sl.universalservice.org/menu.asp>. The  "Form 471 Interview" 
button takes applicants to an updated version of the Form 471 Interview 
format that was available last year. The "Create Form 471" button takes 
applicants to an updated version of the online format for the Form 471 
used in previous years. Applicants who begin the filing process using 
one format can switch to the other format to complete their form.

Applicants filing on paper can download and print a paper copy of the 
Form 471 from the Applicant Forms page on the Schools and Library 
Division web site at 
http://www.sl.universalservice.org/whatsnew/2003/112003.asp

Applicants completing Form 471 should refer to the Form 471 Instruction 
which are also available from the Applicant Forms page.

In addition, the new eligible services list is available at 
<http://www.sl.universalservice.org/reference/eligible.asp>.
