   funding allocation under this program as determined by the Commission
   or any entity authorized to act for the Commission on delegated

   the following:

   (1) Equipment and related expenses, including maintenance, repairs,
   warranties, returns, refurbishing, upgrading, and replacing Equipment
   distributed to consumers;

   (2) Individual needs assessments;

   (3) Installation of Equipment and individualized consumer training;

   (4) Maintenance of an inventory of Equipment that can be loaned to

   of the above-named reporting entity, and that I have examined all cost
