Administrative Procedure:
Children’s Internet Protection Act Compliance (CIPA) for Receipt of Service
Further Detail:
In the second or later funding year under CIPA, applicants who have submitted an FCC Form 486 for non-telecommunications service Funding Request Numbers (FRNs) before they were properly CIPA compliant are allowed to submit a properly certified FCC Form 486 later in the funding year (after the applicant achieves compliance).
Rules that this furthers:
1. 47 C.F.R. § 54.520(c) requires schools, libraries and consortia to make the following certifications on FCC Form 486:
(A) The recipient(s) of service represented in the Funding Request Number(s) on this Form 486 has (have) complied with the requirements of the Children's Internet Protection Act, as codified at 47 U.S.C. § 254(h) and (l).
(B) Pursuant to the Children’s Internet Protection Act, as codified at 47 U.S.C. §§ 254(h) and (l), the recipient(s) of service represented in the Funding Request Number(s) on this Form 486 is (are) undertaking such actions, including any necessary procurement procedures, to comply with the requirements of CIPA for the next funding year, but has (have) not completed all requirements of CIPA for this funding year.
How this furthers program integrity:
Ensures that applicants are compliant with CIPA requirements as required by program rules.
