Year 4: Wave 7 E-rate Funding Commitments Mailed
Message Posted November 6, 2001
* CIPA/486 Deadline is 120 days after date on Funding Letter or Service Start Date -- Whichever is Later *
Congratulations to the following 27 Pennsylvania schools and libraries that
will be receiving Year 4, Wave 7 E-rate Funding Commitment Letters, totaling
$687,747.69.
This is the first wave since the Oct. 28 CIPA deadline and since Funding Letters were not mailed until after this date, applicants now have 120 days from the date on the funding letter or 120 days from the start of service (whichever is later) to have their 486 form postmarked in order to discounts to be paid retroactively to the Service Start Date.
A summary of each commitment is listed below, and detailed
information has been posted to the SLD web site. The actual
letters should arrive this week. If you find that your funding commitment letter does not arrive in a timely
manner, you should contact the SLD ASAP to have a new one issued. The original date on your letter is the one that will be
used to determine CIPA compliance.
If you were not listed in the first waves, do not panic. The order in which
you are funded has no meaning.
* The next step is to file a Form 486 which tells the SLD that service has
begun and that they are authorized to pay invoices (either BEAR or SPIFs). This form also certifies CIPA compliance and must be filed with 120 days of service start date or date on funding letter. Please be sure to use the new 486 (with the CIPA certifications), available on the SLD
website at: http://www.sl.universalservice.org/form/.
* If you disagree with a funding commitment decision, an appeal letter MUST
be received at the SLD within 30 days of the date that is on the decision
letter (NOT the letter's postmark date). There are no exceptions to this
rule.
