Ohio Computer Cooperative (North Central Ohio)2 of a decision by the Wireline Competition Bureau 
(Bureau) finding that North Central Ohio failed to submit its E-rate program appeal to the Universal 
Service Administrative Company (USAC) within 60 days of the decision by USAC, as required by 
Commission rules.3
2. Petitions for reconsideration must be filed within 30 days of public notice of the Bureau’s 
decision.4  North Central Ohio’s petition for reconsideration was dated 53 days after the North Central 
Ohio Computer Cooperative Order’s release date.5 We therefore dismiss North Central Ohio’s petition 
for reconsideration because it is untimely.  We also find that dismissal of the petition for reconsideration

the Secretary, Federal Communications Commission (dated Nov. 28, 2003) (Petition for Reconsideration).  The

is appropriate because it relies on arguments that fail to identify any material error, omission, or reason 
warranting reconsideration, and relies on arguments that have been fully considered and rejected by the 
Commission within the same proceeding.6  
3. ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to authority contained in sections 1-4 and 
254 of the Communications Act, as amended, 47 U.S.C. §§ 151-154 and 254, and pursuant to authority in 
sections 0.91, 0.291, 1.106, and 54.722(a) of the Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 0.91, 0.291, 1.106, 
and 54.722(a), that the Petition for Reconsideration filed by North Central Ohio Computer Cooperative IS 
DISMISSED.
