Slide 87
What is the FCDL?
The Funding Commitment Decision Letter (FCDL) is a
letter issued by USAC to both the applicant and the
service provider that contains decisions on their
funding requests. The letter states which funding
requests of the Form 471 are approved or denied.
Applicants and service providers should carefully
review their FCDL for details on approved or denied
requests and any adjustments made to the original
requests, as well as next steps (such as the deadline for
filing an appeal).
