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 $828,200.00 to $781,179.82 to remove $47,020.18 associated with ineligible excess fiber capacity.||MR4:The Total Eligible Strands for FRN 1699138777 was modified from 2 to 24 to agree with the applicant documentation.
