From Sylvia.K.Norton at maine.gov Mon Mar 9 17:06:39 2009 From: Sylvia.K.Norton at maine.gov (Norton, Sylvia K) Date: Mon, 9 Mar 2009 17:06:39 -0400 Subject: [erate-maine] ATM applicants and Form 471 Message-ID: <3233E4190E74E84CB8BB502705B83EFF04B7C747@SOM-TEAQASMAIL1.som.w2k.state.me.us> I have been notified by the Schools and Libraries Division (SLD) that a number of Maine E-rate applications for 45mbps ATM service from Fairpoint made the common error of stating a contract award date of 02/06/2009 instead of 02/10/2006. The 02/06/2009 date represents only an extension of service originally agreed to on 02/10/2006, under the 2006 Form 470 # 529970000566795. Please check your application to see if it is correct. (Note: The correct template for this application can be found at http://www.maine.gov/msl/erate/atm/) If you are one of the applicants who made this error, you will need to modify the contract award date to the date that originally established the service, 02/10/2006. You can do this through the RAL or Receipt Acknowledgement Letter sent in response to your filed Form 471. The RAL process provides applicants with an opportunity to review and sometimes correct errors made in original Form 471 applications. The SLD News Brief of March 6, 2009 http://www.universalservice.org/sl/tools/news-briefs/preview.aspx?id=214 discusses the RAL correction process including these tips: * Compare the data in your RAL and in the Form 471 display with the data in your file copy of the Form 471 to make sure all entries are correct. * If all the information is correct, do not submit a RAL correction. * If you submit a RAL correction, make sure you supply all necessary information. * Remember that not all errors can be corrected using the RAL correction process. * Submit your RAL corrections as soon as possible. * Always include a signed copy of page 3 of your RAL, even if you are printing out and including other pages with corrections. * Check to make sure you have supplied current contact information. * Be prepared to answer questions about your requested corrections.
