The Form 471 application filing window for Funding Year 2022 opens today at noon Eastern time and will close at 11:59 p.m. on March 22, 2022. The last date that an FCC Form 470 may be filed to procure services for FY2022 while still allowing the required 28 days for competitive bidding will be February 22.
Applicants are encouraged to submit their applications as soon as possible. Historically, early filed applications tend to be more likely to be reviewed and approved in the first few funding waves of each Funding Year.
