PDE Posts Wave 4 E-Rate Funding Commitment Recipients
Message Posted January 5, 1999
The following are Pennsylvania's schools and libraries that have received or will be receiving E-rate funding commitment letters during Wave 4. If
your institution has not received a letter in any of these first four waves, don't be alarmed. I understand there are to be at least six or seven waves
through the end of January, including the first four.
When you receive your funding commitment letters, don't forget to file the Form 486 as soon as possible to begin the discount implementation process.
Special Measures for Libraries
Although the percentage of libraries represented among funding commitment recipients increased from 7% in Wave 3 to 13% in Wave 4 (compared to the
total of just under 17% of estimated overall applications from libraries for 1998), the SLC has decided to move more aggressively to increase the pace of funding commitments to library applicants. In early January, they will be issuing a special, extra *all-library* wave of funding commitment letters intended to bring both the number of commitments and the dollar share for libraries into line with their representation among all 1998 E-rate applicants.
Internal Connections Threshold Applied
Wave 4 is the first wave in which the SLC implemented its recently announced threshold for internal connections requests. Beginning with this wave, applicants with internal connections requests below the 50% discount level will be notified in their funding commitment decisions letters that these requests are unfunded due to lack of funds. The SLC will continue to commit funds for internal connections requests at the 90% discount level, and will determine in future waves if funds will be available for internal connections at discounts between 50% and 89%. All approved requests for telecommunications services and Internet access received within the 1998 application window will be funded, regardless of discount level. Wave 5 of funding commitment letters (not counting the special *library wave* described above) is expected to be issued in mid-January.
