FCDL Comment:
MR1: Based upon review of your Form 471 application, we were not able to validate your requested rural classification for Pompton Lakes High School, Lakeside Middle School, Lincoln Elementary School, and Lenox Elementary School. The county of Passaic is urban according to Table Of Rural Areas By State. USAC only uses Table Of Rural Areas By State in the SLD web site at -http://www.universalservice.org/sl/applicants/step05/urban-rural/default.aspx to determine Rural/Urban classification. The requested discount will be modified to reflect an urban classification. The discount for Lakeside Middle School, Lincoln Elementary School, and Lenox Elementary School will be modified from 60% to 50%. The discount for Pompton Lakes High School will be modified from 50% to 40%. As a result of this action, the shared discount was decreased from 56% to 46%.
