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 these funding waves 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 a .pdf of the FCDL(s) attached. Please review the FCDL carefully to make sure you agree with USAC\u2019s decision. Then file the Form 486 and contact your vendors to request discounted billing if you so desire. A FCDL User-Guide is available at: 2025\/04\/FCDL-Guide-FY-2025.pdf<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you were NOT included in these waves,\u00a0do not worry!\u00a0\u00a0It just means that your application hasn’t yet been reviewed\/decided<\/mark><\/u><\/strong>.\u00a0\u00a0Be watching for e-mail for notification that your PIA questions are available in EPC.\u00a0 As soon as the questions are answered, you’ll likely be in an upcoming funding wave.\u00a0 A funding wave will be released each week until all applications have been decided.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n A few notes:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n — The next step is to file the Form 486 in EPC.

If you do not agree with the modification or the denial, please consider submitting an appeal to USAC within 60 days of the FCDL date. If you\u2019re unsure whether you should appeal, please let me know and I can provide guidance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n — The FCDLs are attached to the award e-mail notice and are in as .pdf format.
