How to Request a Waiver from Two out of Five Rule for Internal Connections

Directly affected applicants can request a waiver of the “Two-in-Five” Rule for Funding Year 2006 Internal Connections. To request a waiver, print the Request for Waiver of the “Two-in-Five” Rule, check the certification, provide the information requested, sign this request, and submit it to USAC for approval.

If you are a directly-affected applicant who filed one or more Forms 471 during the FY2006 application window and you do not intend to file a Form 471 during this special window, you must still complete and submit this request to receive a waiver.

The deadline for requesting a waiver for FY2006 is October 2, 2006.

1. Write “Katrina” on the outside of your envelope so that we can quickly identify it.
2. Use an expedited mail service or some other means that will allow you to track your mail, and prove that the waiver request was postmarked or delivered during the window. Request delivery confirmation. Submit your request by USPS or other expedited mail service to:
