Year 5, Wave 21 Funding Commitments Issued
Message Posted January 23, 2003

Congratulations to the following 5 Pennsylvania schools that will be receiving a Year 5 (Funding Year 2002-2003), Wave 21 E-rate Funding Commitment Letter, totaling $ 203,912.88. Each commitment is listed below, and detailed information will be posted on the SLD web site under Funding Commitments: www.sl.universalservice.org/funding/ next week.

This wave just contains internal connections for 90% applicants. No decisions have been made yet on funding requests for 80-89% discount requests however those requests are current in the PIA review stage.

* The next step is to file the Form 486 which tells the SLD 3 things:

1) that the SLD is authorized to pay invoices (either BEAR or SPIFs)
2) that your technology plan has been approved (by a SLD-certified approver)
3) that you were CIPA compliant as of July 1, 2002.

THIS FORM MUST BE POSTMARKED WITHIN 120 DAYS OF THE DATE ON THE FUNDING
COMMITMENT LETTER.

Instead of summarizing the commitment totals for each entity, I listed the totals for each FRN funded.
