Technology Plan Approval Process

  • If a technology plan is required, it must be prepared prior to submitting Form 470 to SLD. It must be approved before the beginning of service (usually July 1st) or the submission of Form 486, whichever is earliest.
  • Obtain the proper signatures on the “Certification and Signatures” form Document in PDF format.
  • Append a copy of your current budget to the plan.
  • Submit the technology plan, whether as an addendum to a long-range plan or integrated into a long-range plan, with the signed “Certification and Signatures” form to your ISL Field Consultant:
    • SW Idaho, Boise area: Erin McCusker, Idaho Commission for Libraries, 325 West State Street, Boise ID 83702
    • E Idaho: Frank Nelson, Idaho Commission for Libraries Eastern Field Office, 1820 E. 17th St., Suite 130 Idaho Falls ID 83404
    • N Idaho: Jan Wall, Idaho Commission for Libraries Northern Field Office, 1420 South Blaine, Ste. B., Moscow ID 83843
  • Your Field Consultant will send an approval to you, or will work with you for a successful plan. The approval from your Field Consultant will also be filed at Idaho Commission for Libraries in Boise
  • Retain the approval for your records. All e-rate documentation should be retained for 5 years. An approved technology plan will be part of an FCC/USAC audit, if you are chosen.
