The FCC has just announced ECF Wave 2 funding commitments, including the attached list of\u00a094 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$17,97,024.10<\/strong>\u00a0($11,046,613 for equipment and $6,948,210 for services). \u00a0 If you have not yet been funded (which is only 30% of PA applicants), please don\u2019t resubmit the same application in ECF Window 2.\u00a0 USAC continues to actively review applications and FCDLs will continue to be issued (although maybe not on a weekly basis).\u00a0 However, if you didn\u2019t apply in the first ECF Application Window, or if you did and now have additional unmet needs, please apply in the second ECF Window by tomorrow\u2019s deadline — October 13, 2021.<\/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 The ECF Form 472 BEAR reimbursement form is now available and may be submitted now if you were funded in Wave 1 or Wave 2 and have received equipment or services.\u00a0 Please see the ECF BEAR Filing Guide at:\u00a0https:\/\/e-ratepa.org\/?p=33665<\/a>\u00a0for help.<\/p>\n
