FY 2017, Wave 5 E-rate Funding Commitments Issued

July 9, 2017

Attached: Wave 5

~ Form 486 is Now Available for FY 2017! ~

Congratulations to the following 15 PA schools and libraries (16 separate 471s), committing $214,206.  All of the commitments are for Category 1 services.  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 attached to this message), file the Form 486*, and contact your vendors to request discounted billing.  The FY 2017 Form 486 is now available and can be filed in EPC.  A Filing Guide is coming shortly!  As with FY 2016, no paper FCDLs are being mailed for FY 2017.

On the attached spreadsheet, if column I shows a red “no” it means your service provider has not yet submitted their FY 2017 Form 473 SPAC Form.  You may wish to contact the vendor and let them know this should be filed ASAP in the vendor e-File System.

If you were NOT included in the first five waves, it just means that your application hasn’t yet been reviewed.  Be watching for e-mail for notification that your PIA questions are available in EPC.  As soon as the questions are answered, you’ll likely be in an upcoming funding wave.

A funding wave will be released each week until all funds are exhausted.

If you have any questions, please let me know!
