FY 2021, Wave 14 E-rate Funding Commitments Issued
July 16, 2021
Attached: Wave 14
~ Next Step: File Form 486 ~
Congratulations to the following 17 PA schools and libraries (37 separate FRNs), committing $1,039,276.79. This wave includes commitments for both Category 1 and Category 2 requests. A list of the funded applicants is below and a more detailed analysis of this funding wave is attached. If you are included on this list, your Form 471 contact and EPC Account Administrator (AA) would have received an e-mail with the FCDL attached. Please review the FCDL carefully to make sure you agree with USAC’s decision. Then file the Form 486 and contact your vendors to request discounted billing if you so desire. A helpful FCDL User-Guide is available at: https://e-ratepa.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/FCDL-Guide-FY-2021.pdf.
If you were NOT included in this wave, do not worry! It just means that your application hasn’t yet been reviewed/decided. Be watching for e-mail for notification that your PIA questions are available in EPC. As soon as the questions are answered, you’ll likely be in an upcoming funding wave. A funding wave will be released each week until all applications have been decided.
A few notes:
— The next step is to file the Form 486 in EPC. If you file the 486 before July 31, check the Early Filing box on the form. Also, please be careful to check the accurate CIPA certifications on the final page (don’t get click happy!). A helpful Form 486 Filing guide is available at: https://e-ratepa.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Form-486-Filing-Guide-2021.pdf.
— If your FRN was modified or denied, Columns N and O will provide what was modified from the original application or why the funding request was denied. If you do not agree with the modification or the denial, please consider submitting an appeal to USAC within 60 day of the FCDL date. If you’re unsure whether you should appeal, please let me know and I can provide guidance.
— All EPC users in the organization’s EPC account can download a copy on their EPC Landing Page under Notifications.
If you have any questions, please let me know!
