Funding Projections
Funding Predictions for FY 2014
Let’s look at FY 2013
O $2.38 billion available
O Demand for Priority 1 (telecom and Internet) is
$2.709 billion
O an increase of 10.8% from last year
O FCC rolled over $450M in unused funds from prior
years to be able to fund all eligible Priority 1
requests
O Demand for Priority 2 (internal connections) at 90%
discount level is $1.76 billion
O If P1 grows again by 10%, P1 demand will be almost
24
$3 billion
Funding Predictions for FY 2014
• P1: Doubtful that FCC would not find
funding to cover all P1 requests
• P2: There is very little chance that any P2
funding will be available for FY 2014
unless the FCC institutes major reforms

E-rate Letters
O Each time applicants file a program form, USAC
sends you a notification or acknowledgement
letter.

• Note: When storing documents, USAC encourages
you to separate your program forms and letters by
funding year to better organize them.
Filing E-rate Forms
O Three options:
• File online, certify on paper
• File online, certify online
• File on paper, certify on paper
O USAC encourages you to file online, because
online filing speeds processing and reduces

E-Certification/PINs*
 E-rate PINs can be used to file E-rate forms online
 PIN assigned to a person and is specific to that entity while
employed at that entity
 Not given to an entity

HINT: Don’t make the BEAR Form the first one you sign as
USAC will issue a BEAR-only PIN

Gifts and Donations
Gifting Limits (annual): $20/event; $50 annual
Prizes at Conferences and Training
Raffle tickets, prizes, or door prizes that have a retail
value of over $20 violate the gift rules unless the event is
open to the public.
“Open to the public” means the event is free of charge
and that members of the public at large typically attend
such a gathering.
Free Community 4th of July celebration could qualify.
State District IT Directors meeting would not qualify.
Gifts and Donations
Conferences – Impermissible Actions
O Training or conference regarding one or a few
vendors services would not meet the definition of a
Widely Attended Event even if many people attended.
O Travel expenses, lodging, meals, and
entertainment associated with the event would be
considered gifts and therefore violations.
O Free attendance when it would otherwise cost to
attend is also a violation.
O Meals at a Widely Attended Gatherings not provided
to all attendees would be subject to gift limits.
Avoiding Pitfalls
Missing deadlines
Many FCC forms and requests are subject to deadlines. Missing a
deadline can have negative consequences, including:
O A FCC Form 471 submitted after the close of the filing window will
not be considered for funding.
O A FCC Form 486 submitted after the deadline will have its service
start date adjusted to the date 120 days before receipt or postmark
of the form. Invoices for services delivered before the adjusted
service start date will not be paid.
O An appeal submitted after the 60-day deadline will be dismissed.
O An invoice submitted after the invoice deadline will be rejected. To
resubmit, an invoice deadline extension request must first be
submitted to USAC and approved.
O Ministerial or clerical error corrections submitted after the FCDL is
issued will not be made by PIA.
O PIA questions that are not answered result in a decision based on
the information at hand, which may lead to a reduction or a denial.
Avoiding Pitfalls: Closing the Loop
Show me the $: Avoid Poor Invoicing Practices
USAC must be invoiced – either through the applicant FCC
Form 472 (BEAR Form) or service provider FCC Form 474
(SPI Form) – for discounts on services actually delivered
and installed. Delays or denials can occur if:
O Invoices are filed after the invoicing deadline.
O Invoice-related forms are not filed first (FCC Form 486!)
O Invoice entries are incomplete or inconsistent.
O If the invoice undergoes review, provide requested
documentation!
