ORDER
Adopted:  December 6, 2010 Released:  December 6, 2010
By the Deputy Chief, Telecommunications Access Policy Division, Wireline Competition Bureau:
1. In this order, we dismiss a petition for reconsideration filed by Davidson County Schools, 
Lexington, North Carolina (Davidson).1 Davidson seeks review of the Wireline Competition Bureau’s 
November 27, 2002 order affirming a decision made by the Universal Service Administrative Company 
(USAC) to deny funding because Davidson failed to file an appeal on time after filing its FCC Form 471 
application outside the funding window.2 On July 10, 2006, Davidson filed the instant petition for 
reconsideration.3
2. Petitions for reconsideration must be filed within 30 days of public notice of the action.4  
For non-rulemaking documents released by the Commission or staff, the date of public notice is the release 
date.5 The release date of the decision that Davidson seeks to have reviewed was November 27, 2002.6  
Davidson’s petition for reconsideration was filed with the Commission July 6, 2006.7 We therefore dismiss 
the petition for reconsideration because it is untimely.
