Administrative Procedure:
Contract extensions based on the applicable deadline for implementation of non-recurring services.
Further Detail:
USAC accepts applicant and service provider contract extensions based on the applicable deadline for implementation of non-recurring services as a result of the date of the Funding Commitment Decision Letter.
USAC accepts applicant and service provider contract extensions based on the applicable deadline for implementation of non-recurring services as a result of any extensions of the implementation deadline.
Rules that this furthers:
1. 47 C.F.R. § 54.504(a) requires applicants to submit an FCC Form 471 to USAC after signing a contract for eligible services.
2. 47 C.F.R. § 54.507(d) provides that “[t]he deadline for implementation of non-recurring services will be September 30 following the close of the funding year.”
3. 47 C.F.R. § 54.507(d) also provides that USAC can grant extensions of the implementation deadline for non-recurring services if the applicant satisfies the criteria enumerated at 47 C.F.R. § 54.507(d)(1) - (d)(4).
How this furthers program integrity:
Ensures compliance with the requirement that funding requests be based on signed contracts and that the deadline for implementation of non-recurring services is appropriate.
