A. An applicant shall file a request for
state matching funds with the Department of Education, prior to submitting its
FCC Form 471 to USAC.

applicant meets all FCC eligibility requirements for its ESC, the applicant
shall obtain a certification letter along with a letter from the Department of
Education stating that the applicant is being awarded state matching
funds.
C. An applicant shall
provide the Staff designee a copy of the certification letter and letter
awarding state matching funds to it issued by the Department of Education and
shall include a copy of the letter awarding state matching funds with its FCC
Form 471 sent to USAC.
D. Once USAC
determines an applicant's eligibility for federal matching funds and issues a
FCDL, the applicant shall notify the Department of Education and request that
the Department of Education submit a letter to the Staff designee and the
Administrator indicating that USAC has issued a FCDL to the applicant with an
award of federal funds and including any other information relevant to the
award in that particular case.

Disbursement of AUSF funds shall be available for a period of up to five years
after USAC has issued a FCDL to the applicant with an award of federal funds,
notwithstanding R14-2-B1220(A).
F.
If USAC reduces or rescinds an applicant's award of federal matching funds
following an audit, investigation, enforcement action, or consent decree, the
applicant shall immediately notify the Department of Education and the Staff
designee and shall reimburse the AUSF fund for any amount by which the AUSF
funds received exceeded the federal matching funds award retained.
