Obtain a Service Provider Identification Number
Information on how to obtain a Service Provider Identification Number (SPIN)
To obtain a new Service Provider Identification Number (SPIN), a service provider must complete the Service Provider Identification and Contact Information (Form 498) and submit it to USAC for review and approval. USAC strongly encourages online filing of this form in order to more quickly process requests.
Where to File
First-time service providers can file the FCC Form 498 using USAC's E-File System, but you must send an original, officer signed copy to USAC the first time. After the first filing, the Company Officer will be able to certify revisions online via the E-File System.
