FCDL Comment:
MR1: Based upon review of your FCC Form 471 application, we were not able to validate your requested rural classification for Lexington. The urban/rural classification is determined by the Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) data from the US Census. The county of Lexington 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/step04/urban-rural.aspx to determine Rural/Urban classification. The requested discount will be modified to reflect an urban classification. The discount for Gilbert High School, Gilbert Middle School, White Knoll High School, Carolina Springs Elementary School and Carolina Springs Middle School will be modified from 70% to 60%, Lexington High School will be modified from 50% to 40% and Pleasant Hill Middle School and Rocky Creek Elementary School will be modified from 60% to 50%. <><><><><> MR2: The shared discount percentage was reduced to a level that could be validated by third party data.
