Return Receipt Requested and E-Mail
Mr. Scott A. Federowicz, c/o Paul H.D.
Stoughton, Conway & Stoughton, LLP, 818
Farmington Ave., West Hartford, CT 06119.
Re: Notice of Debarment, File No. EB–07–IH–
5171.
Dear Mr. Federowicz: Pursuant to section
54.521 of the rules of the Federal
Communications Commission (the
‘‘Commission’’), by this Notice of Debarment
you are debarred from the schools and
libraries universal service support
mechanism (or ‘‘E-Rate program’’) for a
period of three years.1
On June 27, 2007, the Enforcement Bureau
(the ‘‘Bureau’’) sent you a Notice of
Suspension and Initiation of Debarment
Proceedings (the ‘‘Notice of Suspension’’).2
That Notice of Suspension was published in
the Federal Register on July 18, 2007.3 The
Notice of Suspension suspended you from
the schools and libraries universal service
support mechanism and described the basis
for initiation of debarment proceedings
against you, the applicable debarment
procedures, and the effect of debarment.4
Pursuant to the Commission’s rules, any
opposition to your suspension or its scope or
to your proposed debarment or its scope had
to be filed with the Commission no later than
thirty (30) calendar days from the earlier date
of your receipt of the Notice of Suspension
or publication of the Notice of Suspension in
the Federal Register.5 The Commission did
not receive any such opposition.
As discussed in the Notice of Suspension,
on May 9, 2007, you were convicted based
on your guilty plea to a felony information
charging you with mail fraud, in violation of
18 U.S.C. 1341.6 You pled guilty to
approving approximately $452,203 of
fictitious expenses for non-existent E-Rate
work that ultimately were submitted to the
Universal Service Administrative Company
for reimbursement from the E-Rate funds.7
Such conduct constitutes the basis for your
debarment, and your conviction falls within
the categories of causes for debarment under
section 54.521(c) of the Commission’s rules.8
For the foregoing reasons, you are hereby
1 See
47 CFR 0.111(a)(14), 54.521.
from Hillary S. DeNigro, Chief,
Investigations and Hearings Division, Enforcement
Bureau, Federal Communications Commission, to
Mr. Scott A. Federowicz, Notice of Suspension and
Initiation of Debarment Proceedings, 22 FCC Rcd

4 See Notice of Suspension, 22 FCC Rcd at 11571.
5 See 47 CFR 54.521(e)(3) and (4). That date
occurred no later than August 17, 2007. See supra
note 3.
debarred for a period of three years from the
debarment date, i.e., the earlier date of your
receipt of this Notice of Debarment or its
publication date in the Federal Register.9
Debarment excludes you, for the debarment
period, from activities ‘‘associated with or
related to the schools and libraries support
mechanism,’’ including ‘‘the receipt of funds
or discounted services through the schools
and libraries support mechanism, or
consulting with, assisting, or advising
applicants or service providers regarding the
schools and libraries support mechanism.’’ 10
Sincerely,
Hillary S. DeNigro,
Chief, Investigations and Hearings Division,
