    Needs and Uses:  The Commission adopted rules providing support for 
all telecommunications services, Internet access, and internal 
connections for all eligible schools and libraries. To participate in 
the program, schools and libraries must submit a description of the 
services desired to the Administrator via FCC Form 470. FCC Form 471 is 
submitted by schools and libraries that have ordered telecommunications 
services, Internet access, and internal connections. The purpose of 
this information is to help determine which schools are eligible for 
the greater discounts. These requirements are designed to help schools 
and libraries avoid the waste that might arise from requests for 
services that the schools and libraries would be unable to use for the 
educational purposes intended. Applicants will be able to 
electronically file or fax their submissions. Copies of the forms are 
available via the Administrator's website.

Federal Communications Commission.
