 ORDER 
 Adopted:  September  12,  2002  Released:  September  13,  2002 
 By  the  Telecommunications  Access  Policy  Division,  Wireline  Competition  Bureau: 
 1.  This  Order  dismisses  the  Request  for  Review  filed  by  Salem  City  School  District  (Salem),  Salem,  New  Jersey.  1  Salem  requests  review  of  a  decision  by  the  Schools  and  Libraries 
 Division  (SLD)  of  the  Universal  Service  Administrative  Company  (Administrator)  regarding  invoices  filed  in  relation  to  Salem’s  request  for  discounts  in  Funding  Year  1999  of  the  schools 
 and  libraries  universal  service  mechanism.  2  Specifically,  Salem  requests  that  its  Form  486  be  considered  as  timely  filed.  3  Upon  our  review  of  the  record,  however,  we  find  that  SLD  approved 
 Salem’s  request  to  waive  the  Form  486  and  invoicing  deadline.  4  Accordingly,  the  Division  dismisses  Salem’s  Request  for  Review  as  moot. 


 1  Letter  from  Gary  Goldberg,  Salem  City  School  District,  to  Federal  Communications  Commission,  filed  October

 2  See  Request  for  Review.  Section  54.  719(  c)  of  the  Commission’s  rules  provides  that  any  person  aggrieved  by  an 
 action  taken  by  a  division  of  the  Administrator  may  seek  review  from  the  Commission.  47  C.  F.  R.  §  54.  719(  c).  Previously,  this  funding  period  would  be  referred  to  as  Funding  Year  2.  Funding  periods  are  now  described  by  the 


 year  in  which  the  funding  period  starts.  Thus  the  funding  period  which  began  on  July  1,  1999  and  ends  on  June  30,  2000  is  now  called  Funding  Year  1999.  The  funding  period  which  began  on  July  1,  2000  and  ends  on  June  30, 
 2001,  previously  described  as  Funding  Year  3,  is  now  called  Funding  Year  2000,  and  so  on. 
 3  Request  for  Review.
