NOTICE: Section 54.504 of the Federal Communications Commission's rules requires
all schools and libraries ordering services that are eligible for and seeking
universal service discounts to file this Services Ordered and Certification Form
(FCC Form 471) with the Universal Service Administrator. 47 C.F.R.§ 54.504(c).
The collection of information stems from the Commission's authority under Section
254 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended. 47 U.S.C. § 254. The
data in the report will be used to ensure that schools and libraries comply with
the competitive bidding requirement contained in 47C.F.R. § 54.504. All schools
and libraries planning to order services eligible for universal service discounts
must file this form themselves or as part of a consortium.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to,
a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control
number.
The FCC is authorized under the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, to collect
the information we request in this form. We will use the information you
provide to determine whether approving this application is in the public interest.
If we believe there may be a violation or a potential violation of any applicable
statute, regulation, rule or order, your application may be referred to the Federal,
state, or local agency responsible for investigating, prosecuting, enforcing, or
implementing the statute, rule, regulation or order. In certain cases, the information
in your application may be disclosed to the Department of Justice or a court
or adjudicative body when (a) the FCC; or (b) any employee of the FCC; or (c) the
United States Government is a party of a proceeding before the body or has
an interest in the proceeding. In addition, consistent with the Communications Act
of 1934, FCC regulations and orders, the Freedom of Information Act, 5
U.S.C. § 552, or other applicable law, information provided in or submitted with
this form or in response to subsequent inquiries may be disclosed to the public.
If you owe a past due debt to the Federal government, the information you provide
may also be disclosed to the Department of the Treasury Financial
Management Service, other Federal agencies and/or your employer to offset your salary,
IRS tax refund or other payments to collect that debt. The FCC may
also provide the information to these agencies through the matching of computer
records when authorized.
If you do not provide the information we request on the form, the FCC may delay
processing of your application or may return your application without action.
The foregoing Notice is required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Pub. L.
No. 104-13, 44 U.S.C. § 3501, et seq.
Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average
4 hours per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching
existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, completing, and
reviewing the collection of information. Send comments regarding this
burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including
suggestions for reducing the reporting burden to the Federal Communications
Commission, Performance Evaluation and Records Management, Washington, DC 20554.
