E-Rate Binder
USAC has created an E-Rate Binder – a records retention guide that contains a list of key documents commonly requested during programmatic reviews, site visits and audits. The Headings are organized by forms, letters, programmatic reviews, change requests, and invoicing. Applicants are encouraged to download the Table of Contents Guide. The E-Rate Binder can be organized by Funding Year, BEN, or Application. Also, the E-Rate Binder can be a paper or electronic filing system.
Beginning in Funding Year 2005 and forward, applicants and service providers are required to maintain program documentation for five years after the last date to receive service (see Fifth Report and Order, released August 13, 2004).
