FCDL Comment:
MR1:Per FCC Order 14-189, to prevent warehousing of excess fiber capacity, applicants may only receive funding for special construction charges for Lit Fiber or Leased Dark Fiber if it is lit within the same funding year. 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 $360,000.00 to $326,050.97 to remove $33,949.03 associated with ineligible excess fiber capacity.||MR2:The Total Project Plant Route Feet for FRN Line Item 001 was modified from 69000 to 67662 to agree with the applicant documentation.||MR3:The Average Cost Per Foot of Outside Plant for FRN Line Item 001 was modified from $5.15 to $5.32 to agree with the applicant documentation.
