Line 4 Enter the USAC-assigned Low Income Broadband Pilot Program Number.

Line 5 Enter the name of the eligible telecommunications carrier (ETC) claiming support on this form.

Line 12 Enter the month during which the company has provided the discounted broadband service for which it is claiming reimbursement.

Line 13 Each Low Income Broadband Pilot Program has been approved for a particular duration. Indicate which month, out of the total number of months of the broadband pilot program, the support claim covers (for example, “month 5 of 12”). The total number of months should not exceed the length of the pilot program approved for the company.

Line 14 Check “original” if your company is reporting this data for the first time. Check “revision” if your company is revising a previously submitted Low Income Broadband Pilot Program Reimbursement Form.

If the Lifeline reimbursement is included on this form, do not also include subscribers receiving bundled service on the company’s FCC Form 497.
