A Form 470 for FY 2016 can be filed only through USAC’s new E-rate Productivity Center (“EPC”). To do so, an applicant must have an established EPC portal account.

Important Point 1
North Carolina Department of Public Instruction
If a Form 470 is to be associated with an RFP, the RFP must be uploaded into EPC before the Form 470 is certified. The posting of an RFP in EPC is in addition to any separate RFP posting that may be required by state or local procurement rules.

Important Point 2
North Carolina Department of Public Instruction
Unlike earlier years, a Form 470 may no longer be posted first — to start the 28-day procurement clock — and certified later. Under EPC, a Form 470 can be prepared by other EPC account users, but it must be certified by an authorized signer as a part of the submission process. If the posting date of the Form 470 (and associated RFPs, if applicable) is critical, an authorized signer must be available on that day — and must have a valid EPC account password.
