APPENDIX 3
PROPOSED PROCESS FOR ADMINISTERING APPLICATIONS FOR FUNDING UNDER THE CALIFORNIA ADVANCED SERVICES FUND
An application process would be established for candidates to seek to qualify for funding to be applied towards costs of broadband deployment based on a showing that a proposed area is either not being served or is underserved by broadband services at less than speeds of 3 MBPS downstream. Under such a process, applicants would be required to: (1) voluntarily submit data to the Commission, under appropriate confidentiality provisions, of its current broadband infrastructure by census block group; (2) set forth the boundaries of the specific high cost area to be served by census block group along with a verifiable showing that it is unserved or underserved; and (3) commit to complete build out within 18-24 months of the grant of the application. The Commission would provide funds to match the equivalent amount of funds provided by the applicant. A bond may be required for applicants. We envision a process whereby priority would be directed first to areas not served by facilities capable of providing 3 MBPS download and 1 MBPS upload speeds, and second, to underserved areas (e.g. areas with only one facilities-based provider capable of providing those speeds to all customers).
Applications for funding through the CASF component of CHCF-B would be filed beginning in early 2008, and considered on a first come, first considered basis, subject to window periods where all applications received within the timeframe specified will be treated as if received on the same date. Applications must include project plans, maps of the proposed service area, and specific milestones which must be verifiable by Staff. Staff will make funding determinations based at least on the price per MBPS offered to customers, overall size of the request, matching funds, and time for implementation. A reasonable amount of funding may be distributed prior to construction and at the completion of specific milestones. Commission staff may be delegated ministerial authority to establish a specific application process and forms.
