What liabilities does the district incur by signing the letter of agency?
A5: There is no known new liability incurred by signing the letter of agency. The district is incurring no liabilities beyond those the district already incurs by taking part in E-rate discounts. Under E-rate, the district makes certifications (FCC Forms 470 and 471), and this LOA merely reaffirms those same certifications. The district is re-certifying to CENIC that the district is “E-rate compliant.” In other words, if the district submits its own E-rate application, the district has already certified those conditions which must be met to be in the CENIC consortium. Therefore, it is anticipated that all award recipients will be E-rate compliant. In the remote case that a consortium member falsely certifies information on the CENIC LOA, the consortium may have to remove that district from the discount totals received.
