MR1: The Contract Award Date was changed from 02/16/2012 to 4/15/2012 to agree with the documentation provided during the review of the FCC Form 471. <><><><><> DR1: No contract was in place when the FCC Form 471 Certification was filed. FCC Rules require that a contract be signed and dated by the applicant prior to the filing of the FCC Form 471 Certification for the products and services requested. <><><><><> DR2: The referenced FCC Form 470 listed on the FCC Form 471 has an Allowable Contract Date (ACD) of 4/15/2012. The ACD is the earliest date on which an applicant can sign a contract for contracted services or enter into an arrangement for tariffed (T) or month-to-month (MTM) services with a service provider. The FCC Form 470 was not posted to USAC's website in time to allow a 28-day competitive bidding period to occur before the close of the FCC Form 471 filing window. Since the FCC Form 471 was submitted before the expiration of the mandatory 28-day competitive bidding waiting period, this FRN is denied.
