Beginning with FY 2016, no paper FCDLs will be mailed; all funding commitment decision letters will be generated in each applicant’s EPC profile.\u00a0 Each week USAC will issue a funding “wave” and applicants funded in that wave will receive an e-mail notification announcing that the FCDL can be found in EPC.\u00a0 The attached guide<\/a> provides a screen-by-screen explanation of how to “generate” and “view” an FCDL.\u00a0 The steps are as follows:<\/p>\n 1)\u00a0 The FCDL “Supplement” which is standard text explaining the FCDL and how to appeal.<\/p>\n 2)\u00a0 A link to a .CSV file containing your funding information by FRN.\u00a0 THIS IS YOUR FCDL.<\/strong><\/p>\n 3)\u00a0 A link to the Form 471.<\/p>\n It’s important to review the .CSV file (FCDL) for accuracy.<\/p>\n Column C <\/strong>will show whether the FRN was funded, reduced, denied or cancelled.<\/p>\n Column S <\/strong>will show the amount committed.<\/p>\n Column T <\/strong>will provide an explanation if the FRN was reduced or denied.<\/p>\n If you disagree with a decision, you must appeal within 60 days of the FCDL date.<\/p>\n The next step is to file the Form 486, which also must be done in EPC.\u00a0 The new Form 486 is extremely simple and the link to it can be found on the EPC Landing Page in the top right corner of the page.\u00a0 I will send a Form 486 Guide to the listserve shortly.<\/p>\n If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me at jtschell@comcast.net<\/a>.<\/p>\n — Julie<\/p>\n Julie Tritt Schell 717-730-7133 – o penn*link<\/p>\n\n\n
