FCDL Comment:
DR1:Documentation provided shows that a decision to award a contract for a new product and service was made prior to the Allowable Contract Date, which is 28 days after the posting of the FCC Form 470 to the USAC website. Program rules require applicants to wait at least 28 days after posting the FCC Form 470 before selecting a service provider, signing a contract or entering into legally binding agreement, or submitting an FCC Form 471. Since you did not meet this Program requirement, the FRN must be denied.
