Per 2026 FCC Form 499-A Instructions:
- Final 499-A CAN have actual revenue (not required to be zero)
— reports revenue for the period the company was in service
- Deactivation is a SEPARATE step: submit letter to USAC with
termination date and successor entity info, within 30 days
- Line 603: check TRS/LNP/NANPA exemption boxes, write
"Not in business as of [date]"
- USAC processing takes 60-90 days
- CORES must be updated to reflect inactive status
Handler now creates admin todo with 4-step process:
1. File final 499-A with actual/zero revenue
2. Submit USAC deactivation letter (Form499@usac.org)
3. Update CORES registration
4. Confirm CPNI/RMD/BDC discontinued
