MR1: Based upon review of your FCC Form 471 application, we were not able to validate your requested rural classification for Lorene Smith Kirkpatrick Elem, Maypearl High School, and Maypearl Middle School. The urban/rural classification is determined by the Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) data from the US Census. The county of ELLIS 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 Lorene Smith Kirkpatrick Elem will be modified from 70% to 60%. The discount for Maypearl High School will be modified from 60% to 50%. The discount for Maypearl Middle School will be modified from 70% to 60%. As a result the shared discount was reduced from 67 to 57%
