Year 6 (FY 2003-2004), Wave 11 E-rate Funding Committed
Message Posted September 4, 2003
Congratulations to the following 8 Pennsylvania schools that will be receiving Year 6, Wave 11 E-rate Funding Commitment Letters, totaling $ $30,429,284.30.
A summary of each commitment is listed below, and detailed information is posted on the SLD web site under Funding Commitments at: www.sl.universalservice.org/funding/. Your letters will be 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.
The SLD has begun funding internal connections down to the 85% discount level, and it likely will go further. There are many, many more waves coming (there were 30 waves in Year 5), and so if you haven't received your FCDL yet, don't panic. 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: www.sl.universalservice.org/reference/AppealsProcedureYR4.asp.
Please let me know if you have questions concerning an appeal or would like me to review it before it's submitted.
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 October 29 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 new version of the 486 is now available in paper form under the "Forms" section on the left side of their redesigned website: www.sl.universalservice.org/form/. It is not available electronically until the end of September.
If you have any questions, please contact me at jtschell@comcast.net.
