 *   FCC NPRM on E-Rate Program Revisions – Competitive Bidding.  The E-rate NPRM proposes to codify existing procurement requirements and to provide strict illustrative guidelines of prohibited activities.
 *   E-Rate Updates and Reminders.  E-rate NPRM comments are due July 9.  Web hosting companies have begun a lobbying effort to counter an FCC proposal to make their services ineligible.  The online version of Form 470 has been updated for FY 2011.  Google’s relocation of its encrypted search feature will make CIPA compliance easier.
 *   Schools and Libraries News Brief dated July 2 – Online Form 486 Tips.  The SLD lists and discusses seven tips for filing Form 486s.
