* 90% Internal Connections funding to be released in Wave 16
Message posted October 4, 2005
Congratulations to the following 36 Pennsylvania schools and libraries that will be receiving Year 8, Wave 15 E-rate Funding Commitment Letters, totaling $1,655,138.48.
This wave consists of requests for Priority 1 services (telecom and Internet). 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 (to check, go to: "471 Application Status on the SLD website: http://www.sl.universalservice.org/FY3_form471/471StatusCheck.asp). THE SLD IS REVIEWING APPLICATIONS ON AN EXTREMELY SLOW BASIS THIS YEAR. THERE WILL BE MANY, MANY MORE WAVES, SO IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN FUNDED YET FOR YEAR 8, DON'T PANIC.
**** The SLD has just announced that they will begin funding priority 2 internal connections at the 90% level, beginning with wave 16. Although we were told in early August that priority 2 funding would at least reach the 87% level, the are being more cautious now and will only be funding 90% for the time being.
IF YOU WERE FUNDED IN WAVE 15, THE NEXT STEP IS TO 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.
If you have any questions, please contact me at jtschell@comcast.net.
