The following notice went out to schools on multiple communication platforms today:

E-Rate Important Information
Administrative Window
USAC has established a new deadline for applicants. The administrative window created this year allows applicants to review and update their entity profiles in the E-Rate Productivity Center (EPC). This window closes on 11:59 p.m. EST on Sunday, February 26, 2017. As of February 27, 2017, all entity profiles will be locked and no changes will be made until Program Integrity Assurance (PIA) review. The following are important for the administrative window:

  *   Although this period can and should be used for schools and districts to update student counts and National School Lunch Program (NSLP) Data, the most important is to ensure that entity lists are correct to reflect the proper recipients of service
  *   This is also the time to add new schools and non-instructional facilities, and/or delete closed facilities to ensure that entities can be correctly listed as recipients of service
  *   Libraries should make changes necessary to reflect updates in the number of branches or square footage
NSLP and entity data can only be added or changed by individual schools but schools are not the only people this data affects. Consortium applications and libraries rely on that data. Please take time to review your school's information in EPC and make necessary updates.
Form 471 Window
The Form 471 application window for funding year (FY) 17 has been announced. It will open on Monday, February 27, 2017 at noon EST and closes on Thursday, May 11, 2017 at 11:59 p.m. EST. The Michigan Department of Education recommends that applicants wait two to four weeks after the Form 471 window opening to submit a Form 471.

The Fall 2016 NSLP Report for E-Rate FY17 is now available at www.michigan.gov/erateforlibraries.
