Dear Internet Service Providers,

With many states' Broadband Equity, Access and Deployment (BEAD) application windows now open or approaching quickly, and most U.S. Treasury Capital Projects Fund (CPF) projects well underway, we understand the challenges of navigating federal award requirements. Collectively our firms, HORNE and Emergent Method, have managed over $110 billion in related federal funds, including navigating the complexities of federal regulations on broadband grant programs, and we want to help ISPs like yourself understand what is coming next.

In an effort to assist you with your funding pursuits, we are hosting a free informational webinar on December 12^th and January 9^th at 10:30 CST to provide you with guidance on how best to position for and navigate this next phase of requirements, such as:

• Preparing a successful BEAD application
• Understanding and establishing fixed amount subawards
• CPF and BEAD reporting requirements and deadlines
• CPF and BEAD compliance requirements to make sure you pass audits and avoid clawbacks (e.g., BABA, NEPA, Eligible Uses, Property Standards, Milestones & Budgeting) 

Whether you already have a CPF award or are planning to apply for BEAD funding, we invite you to join us for this valuable session, which will include a Q&A with our broadband program experts. All attendees will receive a recording and materials after the webinar.

We understand that you are very busy and in order to accommodate everyone’s schedules we are offering two dates to participate in this free informational webinar. The link below will enable you to register to participate in one of these sessions. We also welcome you to forward to colleagues in your firm that you think would benefit from this session. 

We look forward to discussing these topics with you soon.

Sincerely,

The HORNE & Emergent Method Compliance and Monitoring Team
