 service  mechanism.  2  Specifically,  Middle  Country  requests  that  the  deadline  be  extended  for  Funding  Request  Number  (FRN)  394147  because  of  difficulties  with  its  selected  service

 54.  719(  c).  2 
 See  Request  for  Review.  The  original  deadline  for  Middle  Country’s  invoices  was  January  31,  2002.  See  SLD  website,  What’s  New  November  2001  <http://  www.  sl.  universalservice.  org/  whatsnew/  112001.  asp#  111301>  (“  FRNs
