Application Status

RHC posts a weekly packet status report to help health care providers determine the status of their FCC Form 466 and/or FCC Form 466-A packet(s). Applicants may visit this site to determine whether their FCC Form 466 and/or FCC Form 466-A packet has been received and whether USAC has all of the information it needs to make a funding commitment decision. Note that the packet status report is only generated once a week, and reflects the status of each packet on the date the report was generated.

Urban Rates Search

Applicants requesting telecom support may refer to this database to obtain an urban rate to calculate their funding support. This Urban Rate Search will help applicants complete Line 40 on the FCC Form 466, the Funding Request and Certification Form. Applicants may compare rates for functionally similar services as viewed from the end user’s perspective.

Eligible Rural Areas Search

This tool is a directory of rural areas and will help you determine whether your organization is located in a rural area, as defined by program rules.
