=20 Dave,

As you may have seen, the California Public Utilities Commission has begun it= s discussion of how to write its BEAD rules by releasing an Order Instituting Rulemaking (OIR). The OIR asks 14 questions about how the program shou= ld be structured: the responses they receive will help shape the CPUC=E2=80=99s final BEAD rules.
=C2=A0
Since the BEAD NOFO was released last year, WISPA has actively engaged both the federal and state policymakers who wil= l be influencing the final BEAD rules. To continue that advocacy, WISPA will be submitting comments in response to t= he CPUC=E2=80=99s OIR to highlight the needs and contributions of our members across the state.
=C2=A0
To do that, we would like your input on several questions in the OIR. Please send me your thoughts on the= following questions by COB tomorrow (April 11):


OIR Question 2: Geographic Level. The (BEAD) Notice of Funding Opportunity gives flexibility to states to solici= t proposals from prospective subgrantees at the geographic level of their choosing=E2=80=94for example, on a per-locat= ion basis, per-census block basis, per-town, per-county or another geographic unit. States may alternatively solicit pr= oposals for project areas they define or ask prospective subgrantees to define their own proposed project areas. What i= s the best, or most appropriate, geographic level for subgrantee proposals?
=C2=A0
OIR Question 3: Overlapping Project Areas. What mechanism should be used for overlapping proposals to allow for a like-to-= like comparison of competing proposals?
=C2=A0
OIR Question 4: Selection Among Priority Broadband Project= s. In addition to the Primary Criteria and Secondary Criterion required in the Notice of Funding= Opportunity, which additional prioritization factors should be considered? How should they each be measu= red, and should they be weighted in prioritization?
=C2=A0
OIR Question 5: Selection Among Other Last-Mile Broadband Deployment Projects. In addition to the Primary Criteria and Secondary Cri= teria required in the Notice of Funding Opportunity, which Additional Prioritization Factors should be considered?= How should they each be measured, and should they be weighted in prioritization?
=C2=A0
OIR Question 7: Match Requirement. The IIJA expressly provides that matching funds for the BEAD Program may come = from federal regional government entities and from funds that were provided to an Eligible Entity or a subgrantee fo= r the purpose of deploying broadband service under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act, the CARES Act, the Cons= olidated Appropriations Act of 2021, or the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, to the extent permitted by those laws. W= hat state funding should also be allowed to be used as matching funds?
=C2=A0
OIR Question 11: Grant Applications. How many application cycles should there be in a calendar year?
=C2=A0
=C2=A0
Your insight into these questions will help WISPA draft comments that represent the fullest pictur= e or our members=E2=80=99 needs across the state. Please consider taking a moment to share your thoughts.
