[Carson, Sabrina]

Please see the attached newsletter for articles on:


  *   Funding Status:  A funding wave for FY 2014 is scheduled this week.
  *   E-Rate Modernization - The FCC Exemption Traps:  The FCC created two exemptions to its Form 470 competitive bidding rules and third exemption to its signed contract rule.

S&L News Briefs Dated January 28-30 - FY 2015 Applications:  USAC issued two special and one regular News Briefs last week discussing the optional use of Block 4 and Block 5 templates, student counts, and a revision to the online 471 to account for the higher Category 2 budgets for urban libraries.
