Rural Health Care Outreach

Conference Call Agenda November 12, 2009

The Rural Health Care Division (RHCD) of USAC hosts a monthly outreach conference call for applicants and service providers on the second Thursday of each month at 2 pm ET. These calls are a forum in which applicants and service providers can raise issues and concerns or seek clarification of program rules or requirements. The RHCD provides an agenda for the calls, followed by a general question and answer period. RHC officials moderate the calls.

The monthly outreach Conference Call for applicants and service providers will be held on November 12 at 2:00 pm, EDT.

If you would like to submit a topic for discussion to add to the agenda, please send an e-mail . Participants may begin calling in 10 minutes before the call begins.

Agenda

Fund Year Closeouts – 2005 and 2006

RHC is working hard to close out Funding Years 2005 and 2006 and needs your help. We will discuss:

  • What communication you can expect from us in the coming weeks,
  • How you can help expedite the closeouts (and get your funding faster), and
  • Where and how to submit documentation to USAC.

Click here to see if your Funding Request Number (FRN) or Service Provider appears on this list. If so, it means that RHC needs additional documentation in order to close out the FRN. Please email rhc-admin@universalservice.org or call 1-800-229-5476 if you need assistance in determining what is needed from RHC to complete the application process.

Conference Call Guidelines

  • Please use your mute button if you are not asking a question on the call; with the large number of call-ins this should cut down on the background interference noise.
  • If you don't have a mute button, hit *6 which acts as a mute.
  • Please be sure to mute your phone in one of the above ways if you are using a cell phone.
  • If you have music on hold, please do NOT put the conference call on hold.
  • Please be courteous to others on the phone; try to listen to questions as they may be relevant to you at some point.
  • Please avoid side conversations, which can be picked up by your phone's microphone.

  • If you have difficulty connecting to the call, please contact Conference Plus at 877-333-CONF, option 5.
