Sec. 54.506 Internal connections.
(a) A service is eligible for support as a component of an institution's
internal connections if such service is necessary to transport information
within one or more instructional buildings of a single school campus or
within one or more non-administrative buildings that comprise a single
library branch. Discounts are not available for internal connections in
non-instructional buildings of a school or school district, or in
administrative buildings of a library, to the extent that a library system
has separate administrative buildings, unless those internal connections are
essential for the effective transport of information to an instructional
building of a school or to a non-administrative building of a library.
Internal connections do not include connections that extend beyond a single
school campus or single library branch. There is a rebuttable presumption
that a connection does not constitute an internal connection if it crosses a
public right-of-way.
(b) Basic maintenance services. Basic maintenance services shall be eligible
as an internal connections service if, but for the maintenance at issue, the
internal connection would not function and serve its intended purpose with
the degree of reliability ordinarily provided in the marketplace to entities
receiving such services. Basic maintenance services do not include services
that maintain equipment that is not supported or that enhance the utility of
equipment beyond the transport of information, or diagnostic services in
excess of those necessary to maintain the equipment's ability to transport
information.
(c) Frequency of discounts for internal connections services. Each eligible
school or library shall be eligible for support for internal connections
services, except basic maintenance services, no more than twice every five
funding years. For the purpose of determining eligibility, the five-year
period begins in any funding year, starting with Funding Year 2005, in which
the school or library receives discounted internal connections services
other than basic maintenance services. If a school or library receives
internal connections services other than basic maintenance services that are
shared with other schools or libraries (for example, as part of a
consortium), the shared services will be attributed the school or library in
determining whether it is eligible for support.
