Welcome, new Service Provider!

To create a new Form 498 ID account:

Step 1 - Register a FCC Form 498 with USAC through E-File. Before filing, please gather:

• Name of the person(s) who will be the certifying Company Officer
• FCC Commission Registration (CORES ID) number
• Active Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) connected to a bank account from SAM.gov

Step 2 - The Company Officer listed on the form will receive an email notification that the form was submitted.

Step 3 - The Company Officer will have 10 business days to certify the new form submission.

Step 4 - USAC will approve/reject the form submission within 72 business hours.

USAC will assign your company a new Form 498 ID.

USAC will send your Form 498 ID Company Officer username and password so they can access E-File to submit revisions.

For questions about the E-File system, call USAC Customer Operations at   (888) 641-8722.
