Introduction | Step 1 | Steps 2 & 3

Step 4. The SLD Processes Form 471

Step 5. Funding Decisions Are Sent to Applicants and Vendors

When your Form 471 has been approved by the SLD, you will receive a Funding Commitment Decision Letter (FCDL). Once you receive this document you may complete the next step.

Step 6. Complete and File Form 486

Form 486 tells the SLD that your school is receiving the services to which the "E-Rate" discount is to be applied.

You may either download and print Form 486, or you may file the form online. (By now, you know what we recommend!)

Download and print Form 486.
Download the SLD Companion Document to Form 486 This document will walk you through the process of completing the form, item-by-item. Refer to it as the final authority as necessary.
Your school's Form 486 must be filed within 120 days of receipt of the Funding Commitment Decision Letter.

Form 486 consists of four "Blocks."

Complete all items appearing on this form unless instructed otherwise by a checked item below. Consult the SLD's guidelines should you have any doubt about the appropriateness of a given response.

Block 1 asks for information relating to the "Billed Entity." Remember, this is the "entity" that actually pays your school's telephone bills.

Skip Block 2

Block 3 asks you to provide information about the SLD-approved services you are now receiving for which your service provider may begin submitting invoices to the SLD.

Use the information provided in the Funding Commitment Decision Letter to complete the information in columns A thru F of row 1.

Block 4 consists of certification information.

For item 8, enter "None."
For item 11, check box "c" only.

Remember to fill in your school's entity number, form identifier (a number, letter or code of your own choosing to help you to identify this particular form), and the contact person's name and phone number at the top of all pages that request this information.

Sign and date the form and mail it to:

SLD-Form 486
P.O. Box 7026
Lawrence, Kansas 66044-7026
