1 IntroductionPursuant to section X.N. of the Notice of Funds Availability (NOFA), an Applicant may seek a waiver of the electronic filing requirement set forth in section VI.E. of the NOFA and request that the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) accept its application in another format (e.g., paper). As stated in section X.N., it is the general intent of NTIA not to waive any of the provisions set forth in the NOFA. However, under extraordinary circumstances and when it is in the best interest of the federal government, NTIA may grant relief. Thus, Applicants seeking a waiver of the electronic filing requirement must specifically set forth in writing the extraordinary circumstances they face, why they cannot file electronically, and why it is in the best interest of the federal government to grant relief. To the extent that an Applicant petitions for relief of the electronic filing requirement and intends to submit a paper application, the written waiver requests must be submitted along with the paper application by the deadline set forth below.

Waiver requests and accompanying paper applications must be received by NTIA no later than 5:00 p.m. EDT on March 15, 2010. When seeking to apply in a paper format, the Applicant assumes all risk of not meeting this deadline. As stated in the Round 2 Grant Guidance, the submitted paper application must comply with all of the following guidelines. An applicant’s failure to comply with the character limits, page limits, and formatting requirements as set forth in the application, or the failure to submit all required attachments may result in the applicant’s waiver request not being considered.

The application must be typed, single-sided, single-spaced, on 8 ½” x 11” paper, excluding maps, diagrams, and charts. To the extent applicable, the font must be no less than 12 points with margins no less than one inch. Applicants must also submit a copy of their application on an appropriate electronic medium, such as a DVD, CD-ROM, or flash drive. Each submission must also be clearly labeled with the name of the Applicant, a description of each submission (e.g., Attachment M), and the electronic format used (e.g., Word 2007 or Adobe Acrobat 7.0). Please note that NTIA will not accept paper applications via facsimile machine transmission or via electronic mail.

Applicants filing in a paper format must submit an application signed by an authorized representative of the Applicant certifying that he or she is authorized to submit the application on behalf of the Applicant and that all of the contents of the application are true and correct to the best of his or her knowledge, information, and belief.

Waiver requests and paper applications must be mailed, shipped, or sent overnight express to:

Broadband Technology Opportunities Program National Telecommunications and Information Administration U.S. Department of Commerce 1401 Constitution Avenue, NW HCHB, Room 4887 Washington, DC 20230

Or hand-delivered to:

2 Acknowledgement of Notices

Acknowledge

Before applying, applicants should fully read the Notice of Funds Availability (“NOFA”) and Grant Guidance for Round 2 of BTOP funding. Among other things, applicants should be familiar with the following rules and requirements:

Applicants who are current RUS loan or grant recipients or whose project will include one or more last mile service areas that are 75% or more rural are strongly advised to apply to the Rural Utility Service’s Broadband Initiatives Program instead of BTOP.

If an applicant fails to submit a fully complete application, including all required supplemental materials, or fails to provide at a 20% cost share or request a waiver, the application will not be reviewed or considered for an award.

Applicants must commit to substantially completing their project within two years after the issuance of the grant, and to finishing the project within three years.

Applicants must successfully demonstrate that the project could not be implemented without federal grant assistance.

All Comprehensive Community Infrastructure applicants must propose to offer service meeting the definition of broadband established in the NOFA.

All Comprehensive Community Infrastructure applicants must comply with the nondiscrimination and interconnection requirements established in the NOFA.

All Comprehensive Community Infrastructure applicants whose project will include a last mile service area must provide service to the entire service area, unless they have requested a waiver of this requirement.

Applicants may receive funding only for costs established in the NOFA as eligible costs for the appropriate project category.

Applicants receiving awards will be subject to quarterly federal reporting requirements and other post-award regulations as specified in the NOFA.

Applicants that are not exempt from taxation should consult with their tax advisors regarding the potential tax consequences of BTOP grants. For an example of the analysis that the Internal Revenue Service may apply to BTOP grants, please see www.irs.gov/pub/irs-drop/n-03-18.pdf. Federal taxes are not an eligible cost under Federal grant programs such as BTOP.

In advance of accepting a BTOP award from NTIA, Applicants should review the Department of Commerce's grant award document, the CD-450 "Financial Assistance Award." Applicants should also familiarize themselves with the Department of Commerce’s standard terms and conditions for grants. See “Financial Assistance Standard terms and Conditions.”

Applicants should be sure to include details on any services that would be offered at discounted rates to particular classes of customers (e.g., community anchor institutions or third party providers).

In the Last Mile Service Offerings worksheet, Applicants are required to provide estimated average end user speed. Average speeds should be the average sustained actual, non-burst speeds that an end user would receive during a peak hour. For purposes of calculating these speeds, Applicants should utilize their subscriber projections for year eight of the project, and develop subscriber utilization projections that are consistent with any additional services Applicants plans to offer. For wireless broadband services, this speed should be an average of the speeds available across an entire cell. Beyond these general guidelines, due to multiplicity of technical solutions that may be proposed, Applicants may use discretion to determine the most reasonable manner in which to estimate actual speed on their network. Applicants should explain the underlying assumptions used to calculate the average speeds in the space provided.

In the Competitor Data worksheet, Applicants are required to provide data on both Last Mile and Middle Mile service providers, regardless of whether the Applicant proposes to offer both last mile and middle mile services. In the column titled Service Areas Where Service Offered, Applicants should list all of the Last Mile and Middle Mile Service Areas within their Proposed Funded Service areas in which the listed services are available.

A detailed explanation of the role of project partners and community anchor institutions should be provided in the essay portions of the application.

Please complete the Points of Interest worksheet by providing information on all points of interconnection (passive, non-environmentally controlled points of interest, e.g., splice points, may be excluded), collocation facilities, central offices, head ends, and other centralized facilities, network access points to Last Mile service providers, Internet peering points, and towers. For each point of interest you may provide either a street address or geocoordinates or both. You must provide detail on what the point of interest is, whether it is already existing or would be created by the proposed project. Where more than one facility type applies, select the larger facility type. For example, if a central office houses a point of interconnection, select central office as the facility type, or if a cell site is located on a tower, select tower as the facility type. The Interconnection Availability at the Facility field should be Yes if interconnection to the proposed network is available at that location, otherwise No. The brief description field is optional, but may be used to convey a better understanding of what the facility is. You may use the space provided at the bottom of the table to provide additional notes, if desired.

If there is more than one Census tract or block group in a service area, there will be multiple lines in the table for that service area, see example below. It is critical that the service area names provided in this table match with the service area names provided in the Service Area Details page of the application. Please review this document and Service Area Details page for consistency before submitting your application.

Important Note: Excel truncates leading zeros from numbers. Consequently, the tract/block group column on the worksheet has been formatted as text. This formatting should not be altered, or the validity of your data may be compromised.

The data provided via this template will be subject to automated processing. Applicants are therefore required to provide this attachment as an Excel file, and not to convert it to a PDF when submitting a copy of your application on an appropriate electronic medium, such as a DVD, CD-ROM, or flash drive. Additionally, Applicants should not modify the format of this file (e.g., by adding or removing worksheets). Do not leave blank lines in the table between service areas.
