The date in Column (13) should be either the date that the products were shipped or the last date that the service provider performed its work. This date should be in month/day/four-digit year (mm/dd/yyyy) format. Please note that only Column 12 OR Column 13 should be completed for each FRN. Please do NOT complete BOTH Columns 12 and 13 for the same FRN. OCT2010

  24. Column (14) - Total (Undiscounted) Amount for Service per FRN. The total undiscounted amount represents the total amount paid per FRN beginning with the service start date as reported in your Form 486 Notification Letter, and ending with the date of the last bill you paid in full and for which you are seeking reimbursement of the discount on the BEAR. This figure can be no more than 14.2 digits, including dollars and cents. OCT2010

  25. Column (15) - Discount Amount Billed to USAC. The discount amount represents the total amount of funds for which you are seeking reimbursement — that is, your discounted portion of Column (14). Before applying the approved discount percentage to the amount in Column (14), you must deduct charges for any ineligible services, or for eligible services delivered for ineligible recipients or used for ineligible purposes. (For help breaking out these charges, use the Optional Prediscount Cost Calculation Grid available on the USAC website.) After deducting these charges from the amount in Column (14), apply the approved discount percentage reflected in your FCDL for this FRN, and enter the resulting total in Column (15). This figure can be no more than 14.2 digits, including dollars and cents. OCT2010
