ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: SUMMARY: The Enforcement Bureau (Bureau) debars NEC-Business Network Solutions, Inc.’s (NEC) from all activities associated with the schools and libraries universal service support mechanism, also known as the E-Rate program. NEC pled guilty to and was convicted of serious fraud-related felonies against the E-Rate program. We find NEC’s conduct merits a debarment of at least three years, as contemplated by our debarment rule, but in light of several important factors, we will impose a debarment period of six months from the effective date of this Order. Debarment commences on the date NEC-Business Network Solutions, Inc. receives the debarment letter or whichever date comes first, for a period of six months. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Diana Lee, Federal Communications Commission, Enforcement Bureau, Investigations and Hearings Division, Room 4–A265, 445 12th Street, SW., Washington, DC 20554.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This a summary of the Commission’s Notice of Debarment and Order Denying Waiver Petition, released June 30, 2006. As an additional precaution to protect the ERate program, we put in place two monitoring measures to ensure NEC’s compliance upon its re-entry into the ERate program. First, we order USAC to review with heightened scrutiny NEC’s applications submitted during the first sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES DATES: VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:16 Jul 25, 2006 Jkt 208001 two funding years after re-entry.1 Second, we order the Administrator to conduct automatic annual audits regarding NEC’s compliance with the Act and the Commission’s rules governing the E-Rate program, for each of the first two funding periods upon NEC’s re-entry. We find these additional precautionary measures are necessary to ensure that E-Rate funds are used only for their intended purpose and that the program is not subject to additional waste, fraud, or abuse.
