Year 8 (FY 2005-2006), Wave 2 E-rate Funding Committed
Posted July 5, 2005
Congratulations to the following 53 Pennsylvania schools and libraries that will be receiving Year 8, Wave 2 E-rate Funding Commitment Letters, totaling $1,714,393.34. A summary of each commitment is listed below; letters are being mailed on Thursday.
IF YOU WERE NOT FUNDED IN THE FIRST 2 WAVES, DO NOT PANIC! A wave will be arriving about every other week until the Year 8 funding is exhausted. This wave consists of requests for Priority 1 services (telecom and Internet). There are many, many more waves coming (there have been a total of 22 so far for Year 7), and your commitment likely will be in one of the upcoming waves. If your 471 application status states "Certified - In Window" or "In Review" it means that your application is in the queue to be reviewed, but that they just haven't gotten to it yet.
IF YOU WERE FUNDED IN WAVES 1 OR 2, THE NEXT STEP: FILE THE 486 NOW!
This form 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, 2005.
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 at www.sl.universalservice.org (on the right side toolbar). 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 (on the left side toolbar).
Because the start of the funding year has begun (July 1), you should skip item 6A on the Form 486 (for early filing). Also, if you're CIPA compliant, you can also skip boxes 6B and 6C.
