This page enables users to view and/or respond to published Public Notice Filings (PNFs) for BIP Last Mile and Middle Mile applications. Providing a response is strictly voluntary. Existing service providers are not required to provide a response to any Public Notice Filing, but must do so in order for their existing services to be considered when determining the eligibility of the proposed funded service areas identified in the associated BIP application. Use the drop-down menus provided to search by state or by applicant.

To respond to a PNF, users should click on the “View” link next to the PNF they are interested in and click on the “File a Response” button at the bottom of the PNF. Please note that existing broadband service providers responding to PNFs with multiple proposed funded service areas will need to file a separate response for each individual service area within that application in order for their existing services to be considered when determining the eligibility of the proposed funded service areas identified in the BIP Last Mile or Middle Mile applications. In addition, RUS will not accept paper submissions of responses; any paper responses will be returned.

All information submitted by existing service providers will be treated as proprietary and confidential to the extent permitted under applicable law except for the name of the company submitting this response and the summary set forth in the Respondent’s Summary Box.
