The FCC’s Fifth Report and Order directed USAC to submit to the Commission a list summarizing “all current USAC administrative procedures”. These procedures highlighted are not rules explicitly laid out by the FCC, but nonetheless, are critical to follow if you want to have a successful E-rate application.
The PIA procedures that were not listed in last year’s report include:
- Alternative Discount Verification – Survey Method
- Consortium Reviews – Deficient Letters of Agency
- Contract Signature and Date Requirements
- Generic Form 470 Service Category Description
- Letter of Agency or Consultant Agreements
- Non-compliant Auditee
- Selective Review Information Request Certification
- Partial Year Technology Plan Service End Date Adjustments
The one administrative procedure from last year’s report that was omitted this year was:
Superintendent Verification of Funding Request – USAC confirms that the chief school or library official has authorized the submission of the funding request The SLD is apparently no longer performing this procedure.
