USAC will soon start issuing funding commitments for FY2016 applications.

 

Funding commitment waves are generally issued once a week for current funding years. A wave contains Funding Commitment Decision Letters (FCDLs) for all FCC Forms 471 for which USAC is ready to issue a funding decision since the last wave. Both applicants and service providers are notified of the decisions.

 

Beginning with FY2016, FCDLs will be issued in EPC.

 

The FCDLs for applicants who have a commitment in the wave will show up in the Notifications section of their landing page as well as in the News feed.

 

Applicants are notified weekly of each wave, shortly after the wave runs.

 

The contact person listed on the FCC Form 471 will receive an email notifying him or her that an FCDL has been issued for a specific application. If you filed multiple FCC Forms 471 and more than one is included in the same wave, the contact person will receive an email for each form.

 

To view the FCDL:

  1. The contact person should click on the link in the email to log in to EPC and go to their organization's landing page
  2. In the new Notifications section of the organization's landing page, choose the notification type "FCDL" and funding year "2016," then click "Generate Notification" in the right-column of the FCDL you would like to view
  3. The text will change to "View Notification"
  4. At this point, any user can click "View Notification" to be taken to the FCDL in the organization's News tab
  5. Applicants will see the short text of the FCDL and three attachments at the bottom:
