In January, the FCC adopted a Report and Order (Tribal Library Order<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fclick.outreach.usac.org%2F%3Fqs%3Df62a9ae4cbcb857f9b78f154284fd4053201724823e18d91e1926388807448961188da802c33467e54f689f9dcd508953e3c2198e927b79c&data=05%7C01%7CBuzzy.NIELSEN%40slo.oregon.gov%7Cd86c15149e934ce8f13408dabdda64b9%7Caa3f6932fa7c47b4a0cea598cad161cf%7C0%7C0%7C638031042934344602%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=DgzBoU1kuePYJ7nYofEpbNhS%2FDVB1yjHdCMZ6EPVsuY%3D&reserved=0>) that amended the FCC's rules by updating the definition of a library, and clarifying that Tribal libraries are eligible for support through the E-Rate program. This change and clarification means that many more Tribal libraries can participate in the E-Rate program.

In October, USAC and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced <https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fclick.outreach.usac.org%2F%3Fqs%3Df62a9ae4cbcb857f055f63acfe062b1224c3afe35a3f06368bbfc2a7d84f9756c61018817eb2d6ab0ea13749341d2b70bcd2d7cb2f70e999&data=05%7C01%7CBuzzy.NIELSEN%40slo.oregon.gov%7Cd86c15149e934ce8f13408dabdda64b9%7Caa3f6932fa7c47b4a0cea598cad161cf%7C0%7C0%7C638031042934344602%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=5Pj6IIQ%2FhBa6WBSK4hlbTntpuJFpK2wzMi%2FG4j4lceQ%3D&reserved=0> an E-Rate Tribal Libraries Pilot Program that will provide one-on-one assistance to participating Tribal libraries in all aspects of preparing, applying, and receiving E-Rate support during the upcoming funding year. This includes sharing information about program rules and requirements, providing training on how to use the E-Rate Productivity Center (EPC), and walking through the competitive bidding and application processes. The pilot will also support participants during the invoicing and other post-commitment processes, including the service confirmation, the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA) certification, or service substitution requests.

To apply for the Tribal Libraries Pilot Program, please complete a brief survey to tell us more about your library. Pilot Program applications are due by Friday, November 18, 2022. The size of the pilot program will be capped at approximately 20 Tribal libraries so that we can ensure adequate resources to assist pilot program participants throughout all phases of the E-Rate program, so apply now to secure your spot!
