West Virginia Waiver Request Approved by FCC (July 2005):

"In this Order, we grant the petition of the West Virginia Department of Education (West Virginia) seeking a waiver of section 54.504(c) of the Commission’s rules to enable West Virginia schools to use state master contracts to apply for universal service support under the schools and libraries support mechanism for Funding Year 2005 and future funding years. We find that this waiver is in the public interest and warranted by the special circumstances of applicants utilizing state master contracts in the state of West Virginia." (paragraph 1)

"In its petition, West Virginia asks the Commission to waive section 54.504(c) and the contract certification requirement on Line 30 of the FCC Form 471." (paragraph 6)

Line 30, Form 471, Funding Year 2005:
"I certify that I and the entity(ies) I represent have complied with all program rules and I acknowledge that failure to do so may result in denial of discount funding and/or cancellation of funding commitments. There are signed contracts covering all of the services listed on this Form 471 except for those services provided under non-contracted tariffed or month-to-month arrangements. I acknowledge that failure to comply with program rules could result in civil or criminal prosecution by the appropriate law enforcement authorities."
