<span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif">Dear Cassandra,<br>
<br>
In July, the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) adopted rule changes to make it easier for Tribal libraries to participate in the E-Rate program, which provides support to eligible schools and libraries for affordable, high-speed broadband services and
internal connections. The rule changes build on the 2022 order clarifying that Tribal libraries are eligible to participate in the E-Rate program. <br>
<br>
Join staff from the FCC on <strong>Thursday, August 10 at 2 pm EST</strong> to learn more about these rule changes and how your library may be able to participate in the E-Rate program. The FCC also seeks comment on how to further simplify and streamline the
E-Rate application process.<br>
<br>
Rule changes that will be discussed include: </span></span>
<ul>
<li style=""><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif">Grants E-Rate eligibility to Tribal college or university (TCU) libraries that also serve as public libraries, making TCU libraries the first and only college or university
libraries to be eligible for E-Rate;</span></span></li><li style=""><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif">Creates a brand-new competitive bidding exemption for all libraries seeking up to $3,600 a year in funding for category two equipment and services that provide broadband
connectivity within the library;</span></span></li><li style=""><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif">Increases access to funding by raising the maximum discount rate for category two equipment and services up to 90% as well as more than doubling the minimum five-year
funding budget from $25,000 to $55,000; and</span></span></li><li style=""><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif">Provides guidance and simplification on cost allocation to libraries that either share space with ineligible entities or offer ineligible service.</span></span></li></ul>
<span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif">The link to register for the webinar may be found
<a href="https://atalm.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=1b5fd0b3926b2a0236f0325a1&id=e4423d1240&e=009ae9317d" target="_blank" style="color:#b02863; font-weight:normal; text-decoration:underline">
here</a>. Note that there is an area on the registration form where you may pose questions or suggestions to be addressed during the webinar. A recording of the webinar will be sent to all registrants.<br>
