USAC Issues First Wave for Funding Year 2019

USAC released FY2019 Wave 1 Funding Commitment Decision Letters (FCDLs) on April 27, 2019. As of April 27, FY2019 commitments total over $530 million.

This wave contains funding decisions on over 18,500 applications and over 24,000 of the Funding Request Numbers (FRNs) featured in those applications. This means that over 51 percent of the applications that were filed in the window received a funding commitment decision from USAC within 30 days of the window close.

Funding decisions in these waves include:

• Applicants from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and a majority of the territories.
• All application types: school, school district, library, library system, and consortium.
• Almost 53,000 recipients of service: schools, libraries, and non-instructional facilities (NIFs).

As a reminder, you can access FCDLs in a PDF format from the Notifications section of your landing page in the E-rate Productivity Center (EPC). Please continue to watch the USAC website and refer to your organization's EPC landing page for new FCDLs as we run each week's FY2019 wave.
