The FCC has just released Wave 1 funding commitment letters, including the attached list of\u00a0129 PA applicants<\/strong>. \u00a0The funding commitment decision letters (FCDLs) are being e-mailed this afternoon to the ECF Form 471 contact.\u00a0 Total funding awarded to PA applicants is\u00a0$20,576,713.74<\/strong>\u00a0($15,653,362.10 for equipment and $4,923,351.64 for services).<\/p>\n

FCDLs:<\/strong>\u00a0 ECF FCDLs look almost exactly like E-rate FCDLs (see attached sample), except there are two additional pages that provide additional information about the reporting requirements for reporting executive compensation (through\u00a0https:\/\/www.sam.gov<\/a>) and subaward activity (through\u00a0http:\/\/www.fsrs.gov<\/a>) under the Transparency Act or FFATA\/DATA Act) for award and subaward payments that equal or exceed $30,000.\u00a0 Be sure to provide a copy of your FCDL to your federal coordinator and\/or business office so they can properly report this federal funding.<\/p>\n

BEAR Reimbursements:<\/strong>\u00a0 It does not appear that the Form 472 ECF BEAR Reimbursement Portal has opened yet, but we know that it will be within the next 2 weeks.<\/p>\n
