Effects of the Federal Government Shutdown * Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) operations SHOULD NOT be affected by the shutdown * USAC is not funded by federal appropriation * However, USAC is dependent on the FCC for higher level decision-making and there may be delays. * The FCC will continue to authorize E-Rate Payments and the US Treasury will continue to make the payments * FCC action on outstanding E-Rate appeals and pending policy decisions will not progress until after the federal government resumes business Sonya Schryer Norris Library Consultant Library of Michigan 702 W.
