Year 6 (FY 2003-2004) Wave 6 E-rate Funding Committed
~ Many 90% Internal Connections Requests Funded ~
Message Posted July 1, 2003

Congratulations to the following 52 Pennsylvania schools and libraries that will be receiving Year 6, Wave 6 E-rate Funding Commitment Letters, totaling $6,314,219.90.

A summary of each commitment is listed below, and detailed information is posted on the SLD web site under Funding Commitments at: http://www.sl.universalservice.org/funding/. Your letters were mailed on Monday. If you find that your funding commitment letter does not arrive in a timely manner, please call the SLD ASAP to get a replacement (888-203-8100). All Year 6 correspondence will be sent in YELLOW.

This wave is coming out of sequence, as the SLD was trying to get as many FCDLs issued before the start of the Year 6 funding year on July 1. They likely will go back to the every other-week schedule after that until the Year 6 funding is exhausted.

For the first time for Year 6, the SLD has begun funding internal connections requests at the 90% level. This wave, therefore, consists of both priority 1 and 2 requests. There are many, many more waves coming (there were 30 waves in Year 5), and your commitment likely will be in one of the upcoming waves.

If you do not agree with your funding commitment decision letter, you have 60 calendar days to appeal from the date listed at the top of your FCDL. Appeal instructions can be found at: http://www.sl.universalservice.org/reference/AppealsProcedureYR4.asp.

Please let me know if you have questions concerning an appeal.

A few very important notes:

YOUR FCDL IS NOT THE LAST STEP. YOU NOW MUST FILE THE FORM 486.
* The 486 tells the SLD 3 things:

1) that they are authorized to pay invoices (either BEAR or SPIFs)
2) which SLD-certified approver approved your technology plan
3) that you were CIPA compliant by start of services

This form must be filed within 120 of the service start date or the date on the funding commitment letter, whichever is later. And since most services begin on July 1, you have until the end of October to have this form filed with the SLD. If you are receiving internal connections funding, you may want to wait until after the product is delivered or installed to complete the 486.

The 486 is available in paper form under the "Forms" section on the left side of their redesigned website, or if you want to submit it electronically or complete it online and print it out, it is available in electronic format under the "Apply Online" section of their site. If you have any questions, please contact me at jtschell@comcast.net.
