MR1:In consultation with the applicant and based on supporting documentation, BEN 17046579 NWISD - Outdoor Leaning Center has been added to FRN 2499058514 Line Item Number .001 as a recipient of service at the request of the applicant.||MR2:The FRN Line Item 2499058514.001 Total Eligible Line Item Cost was modified from $13,263,488.00 to $13,263,426.07 to agree with the applicant documentation.||MR3: Per FCC Order 14-189, to prevent warehousing of excess fiber capacity, applicants may only receive funding for special construction charges for a Self-provisioned network if it constructed and lit within the same funding year. If excess strands are being installed that will not be lit during the current FY and will remain dormant until lit for the applicant's exclusive future use; the applicant must provide a cost allocation for the cost of the unlit strands. Per DA 20-455, excess strands may be installed to share with an ineligible entity that will pay its fair share of network costs, so long as the applicant submits written documentation with its funding request demonstrating the reasonableness of its allocation methods. The applicant provided the following cost allocation calculation 24 / 864 = 2.77% lit strands (eligible). 100% - 2.77% = 97.23% ineligible amount. $470,774.03 x 97.23% = $457,733.59 to be reduced for excess fiber strands. During the Fiber Review, it was determined that the calculation provided by applicant was correct. Therefore, this FRN has been modified from $13,263,426.07 to $12,805,692.48 to account for the fiber strands that will not be lit during this FY or that will be used by an ineligible entity that will pay its fair share of network costs. |
