Notice, 29 FCC Rcd 11094 (WCB 2014).  Section 54.719(b) of the Commission’s rules provides that any person 
aggrieved by an action taken by a division of USAC, after first seeking review at USAC, may seek review from the 
Commission.  Section 54.719(c) of the Commission’s rules provides that parties seeking waivers of the 
Commission’s rules shall seek review directly from the Commission.  47 CFR § 54.719(b)-(c).  In this Public 
Notice, we have reclassified as Requests for Waiver those appeals seeking review of a USAC decision that 
appropriately should have requested a waiver of the Commission’s rules.

In addition, we grant an appeal for Application No. 843668 on the basis that the applicant’s FCC Form 486 was 
filed late due to circumstances beyond the applicant’s control. See supra note 11.

See, e.g., Request for Review/Waiver of the Decision of the Universal Service Administrator by Accelerated 
Charter et al.; Schools and Libraries Universal Service Support Mechanism, CC Docket No. 02-6, Order, 29 FCC 
Rcd 13652, 13652-53, para. 2 (WCB 2014) (allowing extensions of the deadline for service implementation when 
applicants demonstrated they were unable to complete implementation on time for reasons beyond the service 
providers’ control and made significant efforts to secure the necessary extensions).  We deny Synertec Solutions, 
Inc.’s request for a service implementation deadline extension for its recurring services request, FRN 2374722.  
While the Commission’s rules provide for an extension of the service delivery deadline for non-recurring services, 
recurring services must be delivered during the relevant funding year.  We thus deny Synertec Solutions, Inc.’s 
appeal with regard to this one FRN seeking recurring services.  See, e.g., Requests for Review of Decisions of the 
Universal Service Administrator by Twiggs County School District and American Control Systems, Inc.; Schools 
and Libraries Universal Service Support Mechanism, CC Docket No. 02-6, Order, 26 FCC Rcd. 5788, 5790, para. 6 
(WCB 2011) (noting that applicants may seek extensions of time only for non-recurring services and therefore 
denying an extension of the implementation deadline for a recurring service funding request).

requests for services that are not eligible for E-rate support).  See also Requests for Waiver of Decisions of the 
Universal Service Administrator by Batesville Community School Corporation et al.; Schools and Libraries

waivers for failure to demonstrate special circumstances, and reiterating the Commission's determination that E-rate 
is not required to support all services that could further public safety without taking other factors and program goals 
into account).
