Overview

Understanding the Basics

• Federal Communications Commission (FCC), an independent U.S. government agency, established and oversees the E-Rate program

• Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC), a not-for-profit, administers the E-Rate program along with three other programs

• Schools and Libraries Division (SLD) is the part of USAC with responsibility for E-Rate

E-Rate Organization

General E-Rate Information

• Congress directed the FCC to establish the E-Rate program in 1996

• The FCC sets rules and policies through orders

– Policies are defined in the text of orders

• USAC/SLD develops procedures for specific actions, such as how to process applications

E-Rate Rules


• Commitments for E-Rate are made by funding year (FY), which runs from July 1 through the following June 30

• USAC refers to the funding year as the year in which most services will begin

– E.g., FY2010 is July 1, 2010 – June 30, 2011

E-Rate Timeline


• The FCC has set the E-Rate fund at $2.25 billion for each funding year. However, beginning in FY 2010, the cap is now adjusted for inflation each year – Cap is now $2.29 billion

• Once each year, FCC can roll over unused funds from previous funding years into the current funding year– Money for ALL FY2010 Applications at all discount

bands– $850 million for FY2011 Applications

E-Rate Budget


Who is eligible for E-Rate funding?

• Schools and school districts– Non-traditional facilities (conditionally by state)

• Libraries and library systems

• Consortia – groups of eligible entities that band together to aggregate demand and negotiate lower prices

E-Rate Eligibility


How large are the discounts on eligible products and services?• Discounts= 20% to 90% of eligible costs

Discount level for a school or library depends on: 1) Percentage of students who are eligible for National School Lunch Program (NSLP) in:

→ (for a school) the school→ (for a library) the school district in which the library is

located 2) Urban or rural location of the school or library

→ Determine Your Classification
