Individual Suspended from E-Rate Programs
John Comito is suspended from the schools and libraries universal service support mechanism (E-Rate) and all universal service support mechanisms as of the notice released April 13, 2026. The suspension starts pending debarment proceedings and prevents him from benefiting from those federal support mechanisms while the process runs.
Contracting Parties Can File Opposition
If you have an existing contract with, or intend to contract with, John Comito for services related to the schools and libraries support, you may file an opposition request supported by documentation. Opposition requests must be filed within 30 days of receiving the suspension letter or by May 13, 2026, whichever comes first; the Bureau will decide on any opposition within 90 days.
Suspension Blocks Program Benefits Pending Outcome
The Enforcement Bureau states that suspensions ensure suspended parties cannot continue to benefit from the schools and libraries mechanism while debarment is pending. This means the suspended party is barred from receiving E-Rate support until the debarment process is resolved.
