 1  Letter  from  Michael  Finch,  Battenkill  Valley  Supervisory  Union,  to  Federal  Communications  Commission,  dated 
 February  3,  2005  (Request  for  Review).  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). 


 2  47  C.  F.  R.  §  54.  720(  b).  The  Request  for  Review  was  dated  169  days  after  the  decision  it  appeals. 
 3  In  the  Request  for  Review,  Arlington  School  District  states  that  a  January  2005  e-  mail  from  SLD  gave  it  the  option 
 of  filing  an  appeal  with  SLD  or  the  FCC.  See  Request  for  Review  at  1.  We  conclude,  however,  that  the  e-  mail  was  merely  responding  to  an  inquiry  from  the  Arlington  School  District  regarding  the  appeals  process  and  did  not  affect 


 the  time  allowed  under  the  rules  for  filing  an  appeal.
