ORDER
Adopted:  March 12, 2012 Released: March 12, 2012
By the Deputy Chief, Telecommunications Access Policy Division, Wireline Competition Bureau:
1. Consistent with precedent,1 we deny four requests from petitioners2 seeking review of 
decisions made by the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) under the E-rate program 
(more formally known as the schools and libraries universal service support program).3 In each decision, 
USAC found that the applicant did not provide sufficient documentation to support their requested 
discount rate.4 Based on our review of the record, we find that USAC correctly determined the eligible 
discount calculation for each application and deny these requests.5 We also find that petitioners have not 
demonstrated good cause justifying a waiver of section 54.505 of the Commission’s rules.6   
  
1 See Request for Review of the Decision of the Universal Service Administrator by Academia Claret, Puerto Rico, et 
al., Schools and Libraries Universal Service Support Mechanism, File Nos. SLD-401699, et al., CC Docket No. 02-
6, Order, 21 FCC Rcd 10703 (Wireline Comp. Bur. 2006) (Academia Claret Order).
2 The requests for waiver and review are listed in the appendix.  See appendix.
3 Section 54.719(c) of the Commission’s rules provides that any person aggrieved by an action taken by a division of 
USAC may seek review from the Commission.  47 C.F.R. § 54.719(c).
4 See supra note 1.  See appendix.
5 47 C.F.R. § 54.505.
6 Generally, the Commission’s rules may be waived if good cause is shown.  47 C.F.R. § 1.3.  The Commission may 
exercise its discretion to waive a rule where the particular facts make strict compliance inconsistent with the public 
interest.  Northeast Cellular Telephone Co. v. FCC, 897 F.2d 1164, 1166 (D.C. Cir. 1990) (Northeast Cellular).  In 
addition, the Commission may take into account considerations of hardship, equity, or more effective 
implementation of overall policy on an individual basis. WAIT Radio v. FCC, 418 F.2d 1153, 1159 (D.C. Cir. 
1969); Northeast Cellular, 897 F.2d at 1166.  Waiver of the Commission’s rules is appropriate only if both (i) 
special circumstances warrant a deviation from the general rule, and (ii) such deviation will serve the public interest.  
NetworkIP, LLC v. FCC, 548 F.3d 116, 125-128 (D.C. Cir. 2008); Northeast Cellular, 897 F.2d at 1166.
