[Eratechat] FCC Registration Numbers or NECS numbers

[Dan Riordan]

The NCES number is an ID assigned by the USDOE.  You can learn
your schools' NCES numbers at: http://nces.ed.gov/globallocator/

The FCC RN is a registration with the FCC.  You can register for
it at: https://svartifoss2.fcc.gov/cores/CoresHome.html
You can also search there to see if you have one.  The FCC
requires that all entities must have one, and initially PIA was
asking for an FCC RN for each location.  The SLD finally seems to
have come to the realization that it was silly, and now PIA only
seems to be asking for an FCC RN for each billed entity, so each
district needs only one FCC RN.
