FY 2016, Wave 36 E-rate Funding Commitments

March 3, 2017

Attached: Wave 36

USAC has released FY 2016, Wave 36 E-rate funding commitments, which included 18 funded applicants, committing $2,842,679.  Wave 36 included 15 funded Category 2 FRNs, worth $792,618.  A list of the funded applicants is below and a more detailed analysis of this funding wave is attached.  If you are included on this list, the next step is to log into EPC to “generate” your FCDL (see helpful FCDL Guide at https://e-ratepa.org/?p=13411), then file the Form 486 in EPC (see Form 486 Guide at https://e-ratepa.org/?p=13591), and let your vendors know if you want discounted bills.  No paper FCDLs are being mailed for FY 2016.

If you were funded for Category 2, be sure to review the Category 2 E-rate Purchasing Guide https://e-ratepa.org/?p=13311 for information on purchase orders, asset inventories, equipment substitutions and equipment transfers, etc.

If you were denied, you may appeal to USAC within 60 days of the FCDL date.  FRNs that were denied are included in the attached spreadsheet.

If you have not yet been funded, please be sure to respond promptly to the PIA inquiries as soon as you receive the e-mail notice (see helpful PIA Review Guide at https://e-ratepa.org/?p=13451) so you can ensure you’re in an upcoming wave.   A funding wave will be released each week until all applications have been processed.
