| FCDL Comment: |
This funding request is denied as a result of a Cost Effectiveness Review, which has determined that your request for basic maintenance of internal connections has not been justified as cost effective as required by FCC rules. During the course of the review, you asked to reduce the amount requested; however, USAC determined that the reduction was not due to a ministerial or clerical error, but rather due to renegotiation of the scope of the original contract original amount. Therefore, the change in the funding request is denied and the original denial for cost-effectiveness stands. |
