How to Register for an FCC FRN in CORES
Step-by-step guide to registering for an FCC Registration Number (FRN) in the Commission Registration System (CORES). Required before any FCC filing.
When to file: Before any FCC filing. This is a one-time registration that gives you the 10-digit FRN required for all FCC interactions.
Step 1: Go to the CORES Portal
Navigate to apps.fcc.gov/cores. This is the FCC's Commission Registration System where all entities that do business with the FCC must register.
Step 2: Click "Register New FRN"
On the CORES landing page, click the "Register New FRN" button. If you already have an FRN and need to update it, use "Manage Existing FRN" instead.
Step 3: Enter Entity Information
Provide your business entity details including legal company name, EIN/SSN, business address, and contact information. Use your business name and EIN — not personal information — for commercial filings.
Step 4: Create Your Password
Set a strong password for your CORES account. This password is required for all future FCC filings and portal access. Store it securely — password recovery can be time-consuming.
Step 5: Receive Your 10-Digit FRN
Upon successful registration, the system will assign you a unique 10-digit FCC Registration Number (FRN). Write this down immediately — you'll need it for every FCC filing, USAC registration, and RMD submission.
Step 6: Verify via Email
Check your email for a verification message from the FCC. Click the verification link to activate your CORES account. Your FRN is active immediately, but email verification is required for future logins.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Creating duplicate FRNs — search for your entity first to check if an FRN already exists before registering a new one
- Using personal information instead of business information — commercial entities should register with their EIN, not an SSN
- Forgetting your CORES password — store it in a password manager, as recovery requires contacting FCC support
Let us handle it
We register your FRN and handle all FCC filings as part of our telecom compliance packages.

How to File Your Annual CPNI Certification
Step-by-step guide to filing your annual CPNI (Customer Proprietary Network Information) certification with the FCC. Includes compliance review, complaint tracking, and submission instructions.
Due Date: March 1 annually. The certification covers the prior calendar year's CPNI compliance activities.
Step 1: Review Your CPNI Policies
Before filing, ensure you have a documented CPNI compliance policy that covers how your company collects, stores, uses, and protects customer proprietary network information. This policy should be reviewed and updated annually.
Step 2: Document Your Compliance Program
Prepare a summary of the actions taken during the prior year to protect CPNI. This includes employee training records, access controls, authentication procedures, and any internal audits performed.
Step 3: Count Complaints Received
Tally the number of customer complaints received during the prior calendar year related to unauthorized release or use of CPNI. You must report this count even if the number is zero.
Step 4: Access the FCC CPNI Filing System
Navigate to apps.fcc.gov/eb/CPNI and log in with your FCC credentials. You'll need your FRN and CORES password to access the system.
Step 5: Complete the Certification Form
Fill in your company information, certify that you have established operating procedures to protect CPNI, report the number of complaints, and indicate whether any breaches occurred. If breaches occurred, provide details on the notifications sent.
Step 6: Submit
Review your entries, certify the filing under penalty of perjury, and click Submit. Save your confirmation number for your records.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Not having a documented CPNI policy — you must have written procedures before you can certify compliance
- Forgetting breach notification procedures — the FCC requires carriers to notify law enforcement within 7 days and customers within 30 days of a breach
- Missing the March 1 deadline — late filings can result in enforcement action and fines
Let us handle it
We draft your CPNI policy, prepare your compliance documentation, and file your annual certification.

How to File FCC Form 499-A
Step-by-step guide to filing your annual FCC Form 499-A with USAC. Includes revenue classification, de minimis check, and submission instructions.
Due Date: April 1 annually. Late filings may incur penalties up to $100,000 per violation.
Step 1: Log into USAC E-File

Step 3: Verify Filer Information (Block 1)

Choose up to 5 categories that describe your telecom activities, ordered by importance. Most VoIP providers select "Interconnected VoIP" as their primary category.
Step 5: Report Revenue (Blocks 3-4)
Enter your revenue for each applicable line. Block 3 covers revenue from other contributing resellers; Block 4 covers end-user revenue. Only report telecommunications revenue — information services and other non-telecom revenue are excluded.
- Line 309: Interconnected VoIP (interstate)
- Line 310: Interconnected VoIP (intrastate)
- Line 308: International service
- Line 306: Interstate toll
Step 6: Jurisdiction Allocation (Block 5)
Allocate your revenue between interstate, international, and intrastate jurisdictions. These percentages determine your USF contribution base.
Step 7: Certify and Submit
Review your entries, check the certification box, and click Submit. You'll receive a confirmation number — save this for your records. USAC will process your filing and calculate your contribution obligations.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Reporting information service revenue as telecommunications revenue
- Incorrect jurisdiction splits (overstating interstate reduces contributions but triggers audit risk)
- Forgetting to exclude revenue from non-telecom services
- Filing after the April 1 deadline without requesting an extension

How to File FCC Form 499-Q (Quarterly)
Step-by-step guide to filing your quarterly FCC Form 499-Q with USAC. Includes prior quarter actuals, next quarter forecasts, and submission instructions.
Due Dates: February 1, May 1, August 1, and November 1 each year. Late filings may result in contribution true-up penalties and interest.
Step 1: Log into USAC E-File
Navigate to forms.universalservice.org and log in with your USAC credentials. If you don't have an account, you'll need to register first.
Step 2: Select Form 499-Q
From the dashboard, click "File a Form" then select "Form 499-Q (Quarterly Filing Worksheet)." Choose the applicable reporting quarter.
Step 3: Enter Prior Quarter Actuals
Report your actual telecommunications revenue for the prior quarter. These figures replace the forecasts you submitted on your previous 499-Q. Make sure your actuals reconcile with your financial records.
Step 4: Enter Next Quarter Forecast
Provide your projected telecommunications revenue for the upcoming quarter. These estimates determine your interim USF contribution obligation. Base your forecast on recent trends and any known business changes.
Step 5: Certify and Submit
Review all entries for accuracy, check the certification box, and click Submit. Save your confirmation number for your records. USAC will use your filing to calculate your quarterly contribution amount.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Inconsistent estimates vs. actuals — large discrepancies between your forecasts and actual revenue trigger USAC review
- Missing quarterly deadlines — each quarter has a strict due date with no automatic extensions
- Forgetting to update forecasts after significant revenue changes such as new contracts or lost customers

How to Register in the Robocall Mitigation Database (RMD)
Step-by-step guide to registering your company in the FCC Robocall Mitigation Database. Includes STIR/SHAKEN status, mitigation plan upload, and annual recertification.
Due Date: March 1 annual recertification. Failure to recertify means upstream carriers must block your traffic.
Step 1: Get Your FRN from CORES
You'll need an FCC Registration Number (FRN) before accessing the RMD portal. If you don't have one, register at apps.fcc.gov/cores first.
Step 2: Access the RMD Portal
Navigate to fccprod.servicenowservices.com/rmd and create an account or log in with your existing FCC credentials.
Step 3: Fill in Company Information
Enter your company's legal name, FRN, business address, and contact details. Ensure the information matches what's on file with the FCC in CORES.
Step 4: Upload Your Robocall Mitigation Plan
Upload a detailed description of the steps your company takes to prevent illegal robocalls from originating on your network. The plan must include specific technical measures, monitoring procedures, and enforcement actions you take against bad actors.
Step 5: Certify Your STIR/SHAKEN Status
Indicate whether your company has fully implemented STIR/SHAKEN, is partially implementing it, or is exempt (e.g., non-IP networks). Small carriers with fewer than 100,000 subscriber lines may qualify for an exemption but still must file a mitigation plan.
Step 6: Submit Your Filing
Review all information, certify that the filing is accurate, and click Submit. You'll receive a confirmation that your company is listed in the RMD.
Step 7: Annual Recertification
Return to the RMD portal before March 1 each year to recertify your filing. Update your mitigation plan if your practices have changed. Failure to recertify by the deadline means intermediate and terminating carriers are required to block your traffic.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Not recertifying annually — your RMD entry expires and upstream carriers must block your traffic
- Missing the March 1 deadline — there is no grace period for recertification
- Submitting an incomplete mitigation plan — the FCC requires specific, actionable steps, not generic statements
Let us handle it
We prepare your robocall mitigation plan and manage your RMD filing and annual recertification.

How to Set Up USAC E-File Access and Delegate to a Consultant
Step-by-step guide to creating your USAC E-File account and granting filing permissions to Performance West so we can file your 499-A and 499-Q on your behalf.
When to complete: Before your 499-A filing. You must grant delegate access so Performance West can file on your behalf.
Step 1: Go to USAC E-File
Navigate to forms.universalservice.org and either register for a new account or log in with your existing credentials.
Step 2: Navigate to Manage Users
Once logged in, go to your account settings and find the "Manage Users" section. This is where you control who has access to file forms on behalf of your company.
Step 3: Click "Add User"
Click the "Add User" button to begin adding a delegate. This allows you to grant filing permissions to an outside consultant without sharing your own login credentials.
Step 4: Enter Performance West Email
In the email field, enter filings@performancewest.net. This is the account our compliance team uses for all USAC filings.
Step 5: Assign Filing Permissions
Grant full filing permissions so we can prepare, review, and submit forms on your behalf. At minimum, enable permissions for Form 499-A and Form 499-Q. We recommend granting all available form permissions for comprehensive compliance management.
Step 6: Save and Confirm
Click Save to finalize the delegate access. The system will send a confirmation to both your email and the delegate email.
Step 7: Notify Performance West
Send a quick email to filings@performancewest.net confirming that delegate access has been granted. Include your company name and 499 Filer ID so we can locate your account and begin filing.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Not granting the correct permission level — we need full filing access, not read-only, to submit forms on your behalf
- Forgetting to notify Performance West — we won't know access has been granted unless you tell us
- Using the wrong email address — make sure to add filings@performancewest.net exactly as shown
