On April 6, 2022, the FCC released Public Notice DA 22-371 which announces the transition from the Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number to the Unique Entity Identifier (UEI). If you are registered in SAM.gov, you already have a UEI and do not need to update your registration in SAM.gov. No further action is required; USAC will reach out directly to participants if needed. If you received a funding award from this program and are not registered in SAM.gov, you must complete an entity registration and provide USAC with your new UEI to receive reimbursement.
