Notice of Debarment
AGENCY: Federal Communications
Commission.
ACTION: Notice.
SUMMARY: The Enforcement Bureau
(Bureau) debars Inter-Tel Technologies,
Inc.’s (Inter-Tel) from all activities
associated with the schools and libraries
universal service support mechanism,
also known as the E-Rate program. Inter-
Tel pled guilty to and was convicted of
serious fraud-related felonies against the
E-Rate program. We find Inter-Tel’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 one year from the
effective date of this Order.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This a
summary of the Commission’s Notice of
Debarment, released June 30, 2006. As
an additional precaution to protect the
E-Rate program, we put in place two
monitoring measures to ensure NEC’s
compliance upon its re-entry into the E-
Rate program. First, we order USAC to
review with heightened scrutiny NEC’s
applications submitted during the first
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. The full text of
this Notice is available for inspection
and copying during normal business
hours in the FCC Reference Center,
Room CY–A–257, 445 12th Street, SW.,

participants. See Universal Service Fund Oversight
