September 30 Internal Connections Delivery Deadline for FY 2017 FRNs

September 13, 2018

Attached: FY 2017 Sept 30 Deadline FRNs That May Need Additional Time

~ List of Possible Affected Entities Attached ~

The last date to have FY 2017 Category 2, internal connections equipment delivered and installed is September 30, 2018 which means an important deadline is just 2 weeks away.   Below is a list of PA applicants that may not have received and/or installed their FY 2017 internal connections equipment yet (based on the fact that no invoice has been submitted yet to USAC).  To obtain additional time to receive/install the equipment, applicants must submit a Form 500 to request a 12-month Service Delivery Deadline Extension (SDDE) and that Form 500 must be submitted online in EPC by September 30, 2018.  There are no exceptions to this deadline.

Attached is a detailed spreadsheet that shows all FY 2017 FRNs where no invoices (BEARs or SPIs) have been paid by USAC; the list of affected entities also is listed below. A few important notes:

• If no Form 486 has been filed yet, it is highlighted in yellow.
• If the vendor has not submitted their FY 2017 Form 473 SPAC Form with USAC, it is noted in red.  The Form 473 must be submitted by the vendor before any BEAR or vendor invoices can be submitted to USAC.
• If you need an additional 12 months to purchase or install the equipment, a request must be made on a Form 500 in EPC, and the form must be submitted on or before September 30, 2018 – no exceptions.
• If your name is on the list and will not be using the funding, you will want to file a Form 500 to return the remaining Category 2 funding to that school’s Category 2 budget so the money can be used in future years.  The Form 500 must be filed in EPC.
• If you received the equipment, but have not yet installed it, the deadline for all equipment to be installed is also September 30, 2018.
