  • March 28, 2000. In this appeal, Philadelphia Library requests that it be awarded discounts for the portion of its funding request that would be attributable solely to Philadelphia Library. We have reviewed Philadelphia Library's appeal and conclude that SLD properly denied Philadelphia Library's application for discounts. Program rules state that only eligible entities may receive universal service funds. Specifically, section 54.501 of the Commission's rules states that although schools and libraries may form consortia with public sector governmental entities, including municipalities, discounts shall apply only to the portion of the eligible services used by eligible schools and libraries. The instructions to the FCC Form 471 state that applicants may not seek support for ineligible entities. In order to ensure that only

Thus, there is no doubt that SLD is authorized to obtain estimates and documentation to confirm a necessary resource certification. It is also clear that the FCC Form 471 Item 22 certification review may be applied to consortia as well as individual schools and libraries. Section 54.501(d) of the Commission's rules, which grants schools and libraries the authority to submit applications as consortia, does not provide that they will thereby be excused from the certification requirements than would be applicable if the schools and libraries had filed their requests individually. The language of the ``necessary resource'' certification, which has been upheld by the Commission, itself confirms that

  • Although DTS expressly seeks waiver of ``the FCC Form 470 requirement'' that if a contract features voluntary extensions, the applicant must check the appropriate box on the FCC Form 470, we note that the applicable rule is section 54.504, which requires, among other things, that applications submitted to USAC be ``completed.''

Only libraries whose budgets are completely separate from any schools (including, but not limited to, elementary and secondary schools, colleges and universities) shall be eligible to receive discounted services under the universal service support mechanism. 47 C.F.R. � 54.501(c)(2). For example, an elementary school library would only be eligible to receive discounted services if its budget were completely separate from the elementary school. If its budget were not completely separate from the elementary school, the elementary school library would not be eligible for support independent from the school with which it is associated.

  • applicants that fail to comply with the certification no longer receive discounts. We further seek comment on whether, and how, the Administrator and the Commission would verify and enforce compliance, and the extent that such actions promote our three goals of improving program operation, ensuring a fair and equitable distribution of benefits, and preventing waste, fraud, and abuse. Consortia Section 54.501(d)(1) implements the Commission's determinations in the Universal Service Order as to when eligible entities seeking discounts as part of a consortium can obtain interstate telecommunications services at prices below tariffed rates. The Commission found that there was congressional support for allowing eligible schools and libraries to obtain services at pre-discount prices below tariffed rates. However, it concluded that where such

  • under the original definitions. Under these definitions, the Commission looked to applicable State law to determine which entities qualified as public elementary and secondary schools. Thus, where applicable State laws provided for public elementary and secondary charter schools, such schools were eligible for discounts under the old definition. The regulatory change merely makes this eligibility explicit. Second, we amend section 54.501(b)(1) of our rules, to reflect the new citations for the elementary school and secondary school definitions following the passage of the No Child Left Behind Act. Specifically, we replace the citations to 20 U.S.C. � 8801(14) and 8801(25) with citations to 20 U.S.C. �� 7801(18) and 7801(38), respectively.

Other Proposed Rule Revisions We also seek comment on revising certain rules to reflect more accurately existing statutory language regarding the CIPA certifications. First, we propose to revise the rules so that the definitions of elementary and secondary schools are consistent throughout. At this time, rule sections 54.500, 54.501, and 54.504 all contain differently worded definitions of elementary and secondary schools. We propose to define elementary and secondary schools in section 54.500 of the rules, and to revise sections 54.501 and 54.504 to refer to section 54.500 definitions. We seek comment on this proposal. Second, we propose to revise section 54.520(a)(1) to add ``school board'' to the definition of

We have reviewed Philadelphia Library's appeal and conclude that SLD properly denied Philadelphia Library's application for discounts. Program rules state that only eligible entities may receive universal service funds. Specifically, section 54.501 of the Commission's rules states that although schools and libraries may form consortia with public sector governmental entities, including municipalities, discounts shall apply only to the portion of the eligible services used by eligible schools and libraries. The instructions to the FCC Form 471 state that applicants may not seek support for ineligible entities. In order to ensure that only

  • alternative, Washington DIS seeks a waiver of the Commission's rules to allow 15 private, non-profit baccalaureate institutions to join its state educational network consortium. Based on the record before us, we deny Washington DIS's petition for reconsideration. We find, however, that Washington DIS has demonstrated good cause to waive the Commission's consortia rules in this limited circumstance. II. BACKGROUND Section 54.501(d) of the Commission's rules provides that schools and libraries applying for support under the schools and libraries universal service support mechanism may form consortia, such as the one at issue here, for the purpose of soliciting competitive bids for telecommunications and other services. Such consortia may include eligible schools and libraries and other public sector entities. A consortium also may

  • certifications curbs waste, fraud, and abuse in the schools and libraries universal service program. Thus, there is no doubt that SLD is authorized to obtain estimates and documentation to confirm a necessary resource certification. It is also clear that the FCC Form 471 Item 22 certification review may be applied to consortia as well as individual schools and libraries. Section 54.501(d) of the Commission's rules, which grants schools and libraries the authority to submit applications as consortia, does not provide that they will thereby be excused from the certification requirements than would be applicable if the schools and libraries had filed their requests individually. The language of the ``necessary resource'' certification, which has been upheld by the Commission, itself confirms that
