ORDER
Adopted:  October 20, 2016 Released: October 20, 2016
By the Chief, Telecommunications Access Policy Division, Wireline Competition Bureau:
1. In this Order, we grant the requests for review listed in the Appendix, all of which seek 
review of decisions by the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) to reduce or deny E-rate 
funding because the petitioners failed to timely submit their FCC Forms 486 (Receipt of Service 
Confirmation and Children’s Internet Protection Act and Technology Plan Certification Form).
1
At the 
same time, we take this opportunity to revisit our approach to granting relief to petitioners that fail to 
timely submit an FCC Form 486.  In order to ensure that USAC can timely make unused funds available 
to other applicants, on a going forward basis, absent extraordinary circumstances, we will only grant 
appeals of USAC decisions denying or reducing funding for late-filed FCC Forms 486 where petitioners 
have 1) sought an extension of the FCC Form 486 deadline no more than 120 days after the last day to 
receive the E-rate supported service at issue, and 2) demonstrated good cause justifying the late 
submission of the FCC Forms 486.  
2. Background.  All applicants for E-rate support are required to annually file FCC Form 
486 to notify USAC of the date that the E-rate supported service has begun and to certify compliance with 
the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA).  Filing of the FCC Form 486 is a condition precedent for 
USAC’s issuance of the FCC Form 486 Notification Letter which is one of two possible triggers setting 
the deadline for an applicant to submit E-rate invoices.  USAC requires applicants to submit their FCC 
Form 486 no later than 120 days after the date service began or no later than 120 days after the date of the 
funding commitment decision letter (FCDL), whichever is later, in order to receive E-rate support from 
the time of the service start date.
2
  As detailed below, in compliance with the direction we gave in the
Alaska Gateway Order, USAC notifies applicants that have not filed their FCC Forms 486 120 days from 
the date of their FCDL or service start date, whichever is later, and provides a 15-day grace period to file 
                                                     
1
The E-rate program is more formally known as the schools and libraries universal service support program.  While 
we grant the appeals in the Appendix on substantive grounds, we deny in part one appeal because the petitioner filed 
an untimely appeal concerning one funding request. See infra para. 11.

their FCC Form 486.
3
  In the event of a late-filed FCC Form 486, outside of the grace period, USAC 
resets the start date for discounted services to 120 days before the postmark date or date of notification if 
received electronically.
4
  USAC does not provide E-rate support for services rendered prior to the new 
start date and funding commitments are reduced consistent with the revised date.
5
3. After an applicant files its FCC Form 486, USAC sends the applicant and service 
provider an FCC Form 486 Notification Letter.
6
  Applicants and service providers have 120 days from the 
date of the FCC Form 486 Notification Letter, or the last day to receive service, whichever is later, to 
submit invoices.
7
  Because the FCC Form 486 serves to notify USAC of the actual service start date, 
USAC issues disbursements for discounts on eligible services only after receipt of the form.
8
  Thus, a 
timely filed FCC Form 486 ensures that disbursements for discounts on eligible services occur in a 
prompt and efficient manner.
9
4. In the earliest years of the program, the deadline for filing the FCC Form 486 varied.
10
  In 
that context, 10 years ago, in the Alaska Gateway Order, we granted relief to 128 petitioners that failed to 
timely file an FCC Form 486.
11
  We found that in each case applicant’s failure to timely file was the result 
of staff confusion or mistake, or circumstances beyond the applicant’s control and therefore rigid 
adherence to USAC’s procedural deadline was not in the public interest.
12
  However, we “emphasized the 
limited nature” of the decision, declined to eliminate the deadline, and directed USAC to put in place E-
rate program assistance to help ensure the timely filing of FCC Forms 486 and to conduct additional

existing E-rate requirement that was codified in the E-rate Modernization Order.  See Modernizing the E-rate

See Alaska Gateway Order, 21 FCC Rcd at 10184, para. 4 (describing the various USAC-established deadlines for 
the FCC Form 486 over the years).  USAC has determined the deadline for the FCC Form 486 under the authority 
given by the Commission.  The Commission’s regulations authorize USAC to establish procedures for the 
administration of the schools and libraries support application process in an efficient and effective manner, including 
the creation of E-rate deadlines and procedures.  See 47 CFR §§ 54.701(a), 54.702, 54.705(a)(iii), (a)(xi); see also

outreach and education on the application requirements in an attempt to reduce these types of filing 
errors.
13
We also directed USAC to give applicants a 15-day grace period, as described above.
14
5. Following the Alaska Gateway Order, USAC increased its general outreach and 
education to stakeholders about the timing of filing the FCC Form 486.
15
  USAC also created a targeted 
outreach program, through which it notifies schools and libraries that have not filed their FCC Form 486 
within 120 days after the date of their funding commitment decision letter or service start date listed on 
the E-rate application, whichever is later.  As part of this process, USAC issues an FCC Form 486 Urgent 
Reminder letter to applicants that appear to have missed the deadline.
16
  USAC gives recipients of the 
FCC Form 486 Urgent Reminder letter an additional 15 calendar days to file their FCC Form 486.
17
  
6. Despite the changes USAC has made to ensure applicants are familiar with their 
obligations to file the FCC Form 486 in a timely manner, from the release of the Alaska Gateway Order
until the Commission modernized the E-rate program in 2014, we had routinely issued orders granting 
appeals involving late-filed FCC Forms 486.
18
  In each case, we interpreted the standard from the Alaska 
Gateway Order generously, granting the appeals in a wide variety of cases.
19
  
7. In the 2014 E-rate Modernization Order, the Commission took steps to improve the 
efficient administration of the E-rate program by, among other things, tightening the invoice process.
20
  
The Commission adopted invoicing rules to ensure that unused E-rate funds are promptly carried forward 
into future funding years “for use in the [E-rate program] in accordance with the public interest and 
notwithstanding the annual cap.”
21
  Each year, USAC submits an estimate of unused funds from previous 
years.
22
  In the second quarter of each calendar year, all unused “carry-forward” funds are made available 
for use in the next full E-rate funding year.
23
  As a result of the need to estimate the amount of unused 
                                                     
13
Id. at 10186-87, para. 8.  Specifically, USAC was directed to develop a targeted outreach program identifying 
schools and libraries that had not filed their FCC Form 486 120 days from the date of their funding commitment 
decision letter or service start date, whichever is later.  Per this direction, USAC issues an FCC Form 486 Urgent 
Reminder letter to the applicants that appear to have missed the deadline and provides an additional 15 calendar 
days to the applicant to file or amend its FCC Form 486.  See USAC Website, FCC Form 486 Process,

funds, USAC must be able to de-obligate committed funds on a timely basis so that such funds can be 
used in estimating unused funds for the year.
24
8. Because outstanding invoices that may still be payable by USAC make it impossible to 
determine accurately how much unused funding is left in a given year, the Commission rationalized the 
period of time during which E-rate invoices are accepted.  In particular, the Commission created rules 
which require invoices to be submitted to USAC by the later of 120 days after the last day to receive the 
supported service or 120 days after the date of the FCC Form 486 notification letter.
25
  These rules also 
allow a single one-time 120-day extension of the invoice deadline for any cause, if requested before the 
invoice deadline.
26
  The Commission prohibited USAC from granting any other invoicing deadline 
extensions and directed the Bureau to grant requests for waiver of the new rule only under extraordinary 
circumstances.
27
  Where USAC had routinely granted invoice extension requests that met certain criteria, 
including requests made up to a year after the original invoice deadline, the new rules allow “USAC to 
de-obligate committed funds immediately after the invoicing deadline has passed, providing increased 
certainty about how much funding is available to be carried forward in future funding years.”
28
  
Maintaining our prior approach to granting FCC Form 486 appeals risks undermining that certainty, 
because the deadline for E-rate invoices is dictated by the applicants’ filing of their FCC Forms 486 and 
USAC’s subsequent FCC Form 486 Notification Letter.
9. Discussion.  In light of the factors described above – including the changes USAC has 
made to ensure applicants are aware of the FCC Form 486 deadline, the grace period afforded applicants 
to file those forms if they miss that deadline, and the Commission’s decision in the E-rate Modernization 
Order to impose more discipline on the timing of E-rate disbursements – we no longer find the rationale
in the Alaska Gateway Order and its progeny for granting appeals of late filed FCC Forms 486 to be 
persuasive. 
10. We therefore take this opportunity to revisit our standard for granting appeals of USAC’s 
denial of requests to late-file FCC Forms 486.  The invoicing rules require invoices to be submitted to 
USAC by the later of 120 days after the last day to receive the supported service or 120 days after the date 
of the FCC Form 486 notification letter.
29
  Failure to timely file an FCC Form 486 prevents USAC from 
issuing the relevant FCC Form 486 notification letter and therefore could frustrate the timely submission 
and payment of invoices, pursuant to the new invoice rules.  Under these circumstances, we now clarify 
that, absent extraordinary circumstances, we will only grant relief for late-filed FCC Forms 486 that were 
filed no later than 120 days after the last day to receive service for the funding request at issue and where
the applicants have demonstrated good cause for the late filing.
30
  Because the standard we set for relief is 
based on the current invoice deadline, it ensures that the invoicing process is not delayed by tardy FCC 
Forms 486.

E-rate Modernization Order, 29 FCC Rcd at 8965-66, paras. 238-40. Before the E-rate Modernization Order, we 
routinely granted appeals from petitioners filing late invoices if they demonstrated good faith in complying with the 
invoicing deadline.  See, e.g., Requests for Review of the Decisions of the Universal Service Administrator by 
Canon-McMillan School District et al., Schools and Libraries Universal Service Support Mechanism, CC Docket 
No. 02-6, Order, 23 FCC Rcd at 15555, 15558, para. 6 (WCB 2008).

petitioners missed the deadline for filing an FCC Form 486 because the late filings were the result of immaterial 
clerical, ministerial or procedural errors, or were due to circumstances beyond their control).

11. We will apply this standard on a going-forward basis to all appeals filed with USAC or 
the FCC on or after January 30, 2017.
31
  In the interest of fairness, we will continue to apply the current 
Alaska Gateway Order-based standard to appeals filed with USAC or the Commission before January 30, 
2017, and grant the appeals currently pending with the Commission listed in the Appendix.
32
  While we 
grant the appeals on substantive grounds, we deny in part one appeal because the petitioner filed an 
untimely appeal concerning one funding request.
33
We also direct USAC to grant any pending appeals or 
appeals filed before January 30, 2017 that meet the current Alaska Gateway Order-based standard.  
12. Finally, since the Commission amended its rules to require parties seeking review of 
USAC decisions to first file an appeal with USAC, we find that it would be administratively inefficient 
for USAC to apply a standard different from what the Commission itself would apply to the same set of 
facts.
34
We therefore direct USAC to apply the new late-filed FCC Form 486 standard delineated in this 
order to appeals filed with USAC on or after January 30, 2017.
13. ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to the authority contained in sections 1-4 
and 254 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. §§ 151-154 and 254, and sections 
0.91, 0.291 and 54.722(a) of the Commission’s rules, 47 CFR §§ 0.91, 0.291 and 54.722(a), the Requests 
for Review filed by Petitioners in the Appendix are GRANTED and the applications ARE REMANDED 
to USAC for further consideration in accordance with the terms of this Order.
14. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, pursuant to the authority contained in sections 1-4 and 254 
of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. §§ 151-154 and 254, and sections 0.91, 
0.291, and 1.3 of the Commission’s rules, 47 CFR §§ 0.91, 0.291, and 1.3 of the Commission’s rules, that 
section 54.720(a) and/or (b) of the Commission’s rules, 47 CFR § 54.720(a), (b), ARE WAIVED for 
Ascension Parish School District, Bement Community School District 5, Fox Creek High School, Silver 
Consolidated School District 1, The Sharon Academy, and Valdez City School District to the extent 
necessary as provided herein.
                                                     
31
This date not only give applicants a grace period before the new appeal standard is applied but gives USAC an 
opportunity to establish new FCC Form 486 appeal procedures.  The date also coincides with the invoice deadline 
for most of the funding year 2015 applications for non-recurring services. Applicants that completed work on non-
recurring services by the Sept. 30, 2016 deadline must file invoices by Jan. 30, 2017 or seek an invoice extension.
See 47 CFR §§ 54.507(d), 54.514(a).  By selecting this implementation date, the current Alaska Gateway Order
review standard will be extended to cover appeals for late-filed FCC Forms 486 for most applicants submitting 
invoices for funding year 2015. 
32
See Appendix.
33
Harmony Hill School, SLD No. 928794, timely appealed one USAC-issued denial letter for funding request 
numbers (FRNs) 2537239 and 2537318.  It did not, however, timely appeal the USAC-issued denial letter for FRN 
2537149. We therefore deny Harmony Hill School’s appeal with respect to FRN 2537149 and grant its appeal for 
FRNs 2537239 and 2537318.  For six other petitioners in the Appendix that failed to timely file appeals, we find 
good cause exists to waive sections 54.720(a) and (b) of the Commission’s rules, which require that petitioners file 
their appeals within 60 days of an adverse USAC decision, for Ascension Parish School District, Bement 
Community School District 5, Fox Creek High School, Silver Consolidated School District 1, The Sharon Academy, 
and Valdez City School District.  See, e.g., Requests for Review and/or Waiver of Decisions of the Universal Service 
Administrator by ABC Unified School District et al.; Schools and Libraries Universal Service Support Mechanism, 
CC Docket No. 02-6, Order, 26 FCC Rcd 11019, para. 2 (WCB 2011) (waiving the filing deadline for petitioners 
that submitted their appeals to the Commission or USAC only a few days late); See 47 CFR §§ 54.720(a), (b)
(requiring that petitioners file their appeals within 60 days of an adverse USAC decision).

decision to first seek review with USAC).

USAC denied East Alton-Wood River District 14’s (East Alton-Wood) appeal because it was filed untimely.  
Upon review, we find that East Alton-Wood filed a timely appeal with USAC regarding its late-filed FCC Form 486 
via e-mail, but USAC apparently did not receive it.  We therefore consider East Alton-Wood’s appeal on the merits.
