Year 7 (FY 2004-2005), Wave 11 E-rate Funding Committed
~ Internal Connections Funding Down to 81% ~
Message Posted January 6, 2005
Congratulations to the following 53 Pennsylvania schools and libraries that
will be receiving Year 7, Wave 11 E-rate Funding Commitment Letters,
totaling $4,244,458.24. This wave contains funding commitments for
internal connections down to the 81% discount level, in addition to priority
1
services.
If you are listed below and receiving Wave 11 E-rate funding commitments,
your pink letter will arrive next week and the next step is to file the Form
486, which tells the SLD 3 things:
1) that they are authorized to pay invoices (either BEAR or SPIFs)
2) that your technology plan has been approved (and by which SLD-certified
approver)
3) that you were CIPA compliant by July 1, 2004.
Because the funding year has begun, you can file the Form 486 without
checking 6B, the early filing box. This was just for applicants that
submitted their 486 before July 1. The 486 MUST be filed within 120 days of
the date on the funding commitment letter. Therefore, for Wave 11 entities,
the deadline is: May 10, 2005.
DON'T WAIT... FILE THE 486 NOW. For applicants requesting discounted bills
this year, the service provider must receive a copy of the 486 approval
letter before they can begin discounting your bills. So the sooner you file
this form, the better.
The 486 can be filed electronically under the "apply online" section of the
SLD's website. You can submit this form electronically even if you don't
have a PIN number. If that's the case, simply hit submit, then print out
the signature page and mail that to the SLD. If you would prefer to file
the paper form, it's located on the SLD's website under the "SLD Forms"
section.
NOTE: If you have been funded for internal connections, you should not file
the 486 until the equipment has been received. If you internal connections
application includes wiring work, the 486 should be filed within 120 days of
the service beginning.
If you don't agree with anything in your funding commitment letter, you
should file an appeal with the SLD within 60 days of the date on your FCDL.
They will not consider any appeals filed after this deadline, so please be
certain to read your funding commitment letter carefully to be sure that you
agree with their decisions. If you'd like my advice on whether it you
should appeal a decision or not, or would like me to review your appeal
letter, please let me know.
