* Note:\u00a0 Beginning with this wave notice, I\u2019m including a few extra columns of data that I think will be helpful: USAC has released FY 2016, Wave 30 E-rate funding commitments, which included 8 applicants, committing $1,697,382.\u00a0 Wave 30 included 6 Category 2 FRNs, worth $194,346.\u00a0 A list of the funded applicants is below and a more detailed analysis of this funding wave is attached<\/a>.\u00a0 If you are included on this list, the next step is to log into EPC to “generate” your FCDL (see helpful FCDL Guide at https:\/\/e-ratepa.org\/?p=13411<\/a>), then file the Form 486 in EPC (see Form 486 Guide at https:\/\/e-ratepa.org\/?p=13591<\/a>), and let your vendors know if you want discounted bills.\u00a0 No paper FCDLs are being mailed for FY 2016.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you were funded for Category 2, be sure to review the Category 2 E-rate Purchasing Guide https:\/\/e-ratepa.org\/?p=13311<\/a> for information on purchase orders, asset inventories, equipment substitutions and equipment transfers, etc.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you have not yet been funded, please be sure to respond promptly to the PIA inquiries as soon as you receive the e-mail notice (see helpful PIA Review Guide at https:\/\/e-ratepa.org\/?p=13451<\/a>) so you can ensure you’re in an upcoming wave. \u00a0\u00a0A funding wave will be released each week until all applications have been processed.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me at jtschell@comcast.net<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n — Julie<\/p>\n Julie Tritt Schell penn*link<\/p>\n\n

\n\u00a0\u00a0 FRN Status<\/strong> \u2013 shows if the FRN was funded, denied or cancelled.\u00a0 If an FRN is denied, you have 60 calendar days to appeal to USAC and I encourage you to do so.\u00a0 Please contact me if you would like to discuss an appeal.
\n\u00a0\u00a0 Original Request<\/strong> \u2013 shows the original E-rate funding requested.
\n\u00a0\u00a0 Difference<\/strong> \u2013 will show the difference in amount that you requested vs the amount you were awarded.\u00a0 Often, if an FRN amount has been reduced, it\u2019s done so at the request of the applicant.
\n\u00a0\u00a0 471 Comment<\/strong> \u2013 usually explains if changes were made to an entire application (such as your discount rate).
\n\u00a0\u00a0 FRN Comment<\/strong> \u2013 usually explains if changes were made to a funding request and if the FRN was denied or reduced, it should explain the reason why.<\/p>\n\n\n
