In accordance with the ACCESS BROADBAND Act, all applications for last-mile ARC-funded broadband projects must complete and include the following templates in their proposal. ARC is required to submit this information to the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) for their National Broadband Availability Map (NBAM). This government-wide interagency coordination effort aims to streamline funding to help more investments reach a wider variety of locations.  

Applicants must submit the template with all columns completed to applicant’s best ability.  If an applicant does not have access to the Location Fabric, they must submit the Project Locations List (CSV) with the address, latitude and longitude columns completed, and apply for a license to the fabric if application is approved.
