Block 2: Early Filing Information and CIPA Waiver Requests
6a.

Early Filing

CHECK THE BOX BELOW IF THE FRNS ON THIS FORM 486 ARE FOR SERVICES STARTING ON OR
BEFORE JULY 31 OF THE FUNDING YEAR.
The Funding Requests listed in Block 3 have been approved by USAC as shown in my Funding
Commitment Decision Letter (FCDL). I have confirmed with the service provider(s) featured in
those Funding Requests that these services will start on or before July 31 of the Funding Year.
Remember: Early filing using Item 6a is an option if and ONLY if services will start within the
month of July of the relevant Funding Year, all relevant certifications in Block 4 can be
accurately made, and the Form 486 is postmarked on or before July 31 of the Funding Year.
6b. CIPA Waiver
CHECK THE BOX BELOW IF YOU ARE REQUESTING A WAIVER OF CIPA REQUIREMENTS FOR THE
SECOND FUNDING YEAR AFTER APRIL 20, 2001 IN WHICH YOU HAVE APPLIED FOR DISCOUNTS IF YOU
AS THE BILLED ENTITY ARE THE ADMINISTRATIVE AUTHORITY.
I am providing notification that, as of the date of the start of discounted services, I am unable to
make the certifications required by the Children’s Internet Protection Act, as codified at 47 U.S.C. §
254(h) and (l), because my state or local procurement rules or regulations or competitive bidding
requirements prevent the making of the certification(s) otherwise required. I certify that the
schools or libraries represented in the Funding Request Number(s) on this Form 486 will be
brought into compliance with the CIPA requirements before the start of the Third Funding Year
after April 20, 2001 in which they apply for discounts.

LIBRARY(IES) REPRESENTED ON THIS FORM 486.
I am providing notification that, as of the date of the start of discounted services in Funding Year
2004, I am unable to make the certifications required by the Children's Internet Protection Act, as
codified at 47 U.S.C. § 254(h) and (l), because my state or local procurement rules or regulations
or competitive bidding requirements prevent the making of the certification(s) otherwise required. I
certify that the libraries represented in the Funding Request Number(s) on this Form 486 will be
brought into compliance with the CIPA requirements before the start of the Funding Year 2005.

Block 4:Certifications and Signature

I certify that the entity(ies) receiving discounted services as indicated on this Form 486 are covered by technology
plan(s) that have been approved by a state or other authorized body – a USAC-certified technology plan approver –
prior to the commencement of service and that cover all 12 months of the funding year. If applicable, provide the
name(s) of the organization(s) that approved a technology plan for any eligible entity that is receiving services covered
under this Form 486. If EVERY FRN listed in the Form 486 is for basic telephone service only, enter "NONE" here.

9.
I certify that the services listed on this Form 486 have been, are planned to be, or are being provided to all or some
of the eligible entities identified in the Form 471 application(s) cited above. I certify that there are signed contracts
covering all of the services listed on this Form 486 except for those services provided on a tariff or month-to-month basis.
I certify that I am authorized to submit this receipt of service confirmation on behalf of the above-named Billed Entity; that I
have examined this request; and that, to the best of my knowledge, information, and belief, all statements of fact
contained herein are true.
10.
I understand that the discount level used for shared services is conditional, for future years, upon ensuring that
the most disadvantaged schools and libraries that are treated as sharing in the services receive an appropriate share
of benefits from those services. I recognize that I may be audited pursuant to this application and will retain for five
years any and all records, including Forms 479 where required, that I rely upon to complete this form and, if audited,
will make available to the Administrator such records.
NOTES FOR COMPLETING THE CERTIFICATIONS IN ITEM 11: A Billed Entity who is the Administrative Authority
must check Item 11a or 11b or 11c. Check only ONE item. If the Billed Entity is not the Administrative Authority,
skip to Item 11d. A Billed Entity who represents one or more Administrative Authorities must check Item 11d or
11e. (See the Form 486 Instructions for Item 11, "Special Notes for Billed Entities Who Represent One or More
Administrative Authorities.") A Billed Entity who represents one or more Administrative Authorities in Funding
Years after Funding Year 2001 and who checks Item 11d must check Item 11f or 11g. (See the Form 486
Instructions for Item 11, "Special Notes for Billed Entities Who Represent One or More Administrative
Authorities.")

BEGINNING JULY 1, 2001), SKIP TO ITEM 12.
