Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 240 / Thursday, December 13, 2012 / Notices
Dear Mr. Lanham:
The Federal Communications Commission
(Commission) hereby notifies you that,
pursuant to Section 54.8 of its rules, you are
prohibited from participating in activities
associated with or relating to the schools and
libraries universal service support
mechanism (E-Rate program) for three years
from either the date of your receipt of this
Notice of Debarment or of its publication in
the Federal Register, whichever is earlier in
time (Debarment Date).1
On July 27, 2012, the Commission’s
Enforcement Bureau (Bureau) sent you a
Notice of Suspension and Initiation of
Debarment Proceeding (Notice of
Suspension) 2 that was published in the
Federal Register on August 13, 2012.3 The
Notice of Suspension suspended you from
participating in activities associated with or
relating to the E-Rate program. It also
described the basis for initiating debarment
proceedings against you, the applicable
debarment procedures, and the effect of
debarment.
As discussed in the Notice of Suspension,
in March 2012 you were convicted of one
count of theft of federal funds and three
counts of mail fraud in connection with your
activities as a consultant for the New York
City Department of Education (DOE), which
included managing Project Connect, an ERate funded project.4 As a DOE consultant,
you defrauded the E-Rate program by, among
other things, inflating consultant fees and
bundling those charges with eligible services
on invoices billed to DOE for work unrelated
to Project Connect.5 As a result of your
scheme, DOE was fraudulently billed more
than $3.6 million for Project Connect
between 2002 and 2008, of which you
profited approximately $1.7 million.6
Pursuant to Section 54.8(c) of the
Commission’s rules, your conviction of
criminal conduct in connection with the ERate program is the basis for this debarment.7
In accordance with the Commission’s
debarment rules, you were required to file
with the Commission any opposition to your
suspension or its scope, or to your proposed
debarment or its scope, no later than 30
calendar days from either the date of your
receipt of the Notice of Suspension or of its
publication in the Federal Register,
whichever date occurred first.8 The
Commission did not receive any such
opposition from you.
For the foregoing reasons, you are debarred
from participating in activities associated

(delegating authority to the Enforcement Bureau to
