Abstract: In 1997 the Commission adopted rules providing support for the Universal Service Schools and Libraries Support Mechanism (E-rate Program). FCC Forms 470 and 471 are required to determine eligibility by schools and libraries for discounts under the program, so that they can purchase telecommunications services, internet access, internal connections, and maintenance services.
