PDE Posts Wave 8 E-rate Funding Commitment Recipients
Message Posted February 11, 1999
The Schools and Libraries Division just released a list of the Wave 8 E-rate Funding Commitment Letter Recipients. More than 2400 funding
commitment decisions letters totaling $320 million in E-rate funds are included nationwide in this wave. In Pennsylvania, 99 letters were mailed,
totaling $3,746,852.39 in funding commitments. To receive a more detailed listing of this same information, go to the SLD web site's Funding
Recipient Page for Pennsylvania. Wave 8 should be posted there in a day or two.
As has been the case with other waves, the actual funding commitment letters will arrive anywhere from 7-14 days after receiving this message.
If you are a school or library that applied in last year's window and haven't been notified of a funding commitment in the first eight waves, DON'T BE ALARMED. THIS IS NOT THE LAST WAVE. There will be two to three additional waves before the process is concluded. The latest word is that all funding commitments, not including appeals, will be issued by February 28.
As I've stated before, I can see no clear pattern for release of these letters and just because you haven't heard yet does not mean that you are
not getting funded. Also, as you know this is a federal program, and the PA Department of Education does not control or have anything to do with the
processing of applications, release of funds, etc. The only notice we have of commitments being made is when we receive a fax about an hour before you
receive the list via e-mail.
Consistent with the SLD's earlier determination, this wave provides funding to cover internal connection requests for applicants who qualify
for a 77% discount or above. This wave reflects some, but no all, of such applications.
In addition, to get funding information into the hands of more applicants sooner, the SLD is mailing letters to schools and libraries committing E-rate discounts on their telecommunications services and Internet acces requests, even though they may not have yet determined whether or not funds are sufficient to fund the internal connections component of the application. Some applicants, therefore, may receive more than one letter in response to their application. So, if your funding commitment letter states, "not yet funded" beside the internal connection funding request, proceed with completing your Form 486s for the other "funded"
components. A future letter will be mailed as a final determination on the internal connections piece. Basically, it means that you're not yet funded, and you're not yet denied. Your internal connections request is just in limbo until they can see how much money they have left over.
Congratulations to the following recipients. Don't forget that the next step is to file your Form 486s (supposedly within 5 days... 5-10 days is probably fine) and begin the process of completing your BEAR Form (Form 472) if you need reimbursed for any funds committed and already spent (no deadline set yet.)
And finally, just a reminder that the next E-rate filing window has been extended until April 6. This means that you really should have your Form
470 submitted to the SLD by March 3 to give yourself enough time to still complete your Form 471 and have it received by the SLD by the April
deadline.
