 universal  service  support  because  it  had  omitted  an  ETC.  2  On  May  17,  2005,  the  Hawaii  Commission  submitted  a  request  to  amend  its  August  27  filing  and  withdraw  the  request  for  waiver.  3  We  grant  the 
 request  to  amend  the  August  27  certification  filing.  We  further  grant  the  request  to  withdraw  and  dismiss  its  October  25,  2004  waiver  petition.
