If excess strands are being installed that will not be lit during the current FY and will be used by an ineligible entity or for an ineligible purpose; the applicant must provide a cost allocation for any variable costs of installing a higher strand cable as opposed to installing the strands needed just for the applicant’s exclusive use. The amount of the funding request was changed from $473,941.50 to $455,782.50 to remove $18,159.00 associated with ineligible excess fiber capacity.||MR4:Documentation provided indicates that your Funding Request is for unlit Dark Fiber. Do not submit invoices until the fiber is lit. Please provide documentation that it is lit when submitting your invoice.
