STREAMLINED RESOLUTION OF REQUESTS RELATED TO ACTIONS BY THE UNIVERSAL SERVICE ADMINISTRATIVE COMPANY

CC Docket No. 02-6
WC Docket No. 06-122

Pursuant to our procedure for resolving requests for review, requests for waiver, and petitions for reconsideration of decisions related to actions taken by the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) that are consistent with precedent (collectively, Requests), the Wireline Competition Bureau (Bureau) grants, dismisses, or denies the following Requests. See Streamlined Process for Resolving Requests for Review of Decisions by the Universal Service Administrative Company, CC Docket Nos. 96-45 and 02-6, WC Docket Nos. 02-60, 06-122, 08-71, 10-90, 11-42, and 14-58, Public 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.  Similarly, we have reclassified as Requests for Review those appeals seeking a waiver of the Commission’s rules but are actually seeking review of a USAC decision.
  The deadline for filing petitions for reconsideration or applications for review concerning the disposition of any of these Requests is 30 days from release of this Public Notice. See 47 CFR §§ 1.106(f), 1.115(d); see also 47 CFR § 1.4(b)(2) (setting forth the method for computing the amount of time within which persons or entities must act in response to deadlines established by the Commission).

In remanding these applications to USAC, we make no finding as to the ultimate eligibility of the services or the petitioners’ applications.  We also waive sections 54.507(d) and 54.514(a) of the Commission’s rules and direct USAC to waive any procedural deadline that might be necessary to effectuate our ruling.

Consistent with precedent, we also find good cause exists to waive sections 54.720(a) and (b) of the Commission’s rules, which requires that petitioners file their appeals or waiver requests within 60 days of an adverse USAC decision. See 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, 11019, para. 2 (WCB 2011) (ABC Unified Order) (granting waivers of filing deadline for appeals because they submitted their appeals or waiver requests within a reasonable period of time after receiving actual notice of USAC’s adverse decision); 47 CFR §§ 54.720(a), (b).

South Dakota Department of Education, SD, Application No. 161060091, Request for Review, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed Aug. 21, 2018)
Timely Filed Invoice We find, based on the record before us, that Nex-Tech Inc. timely filed an FCC Form 474 service provider invoice (SPI) that was overlooked by USAC.  The service provider, therefore, should be given the opportunity by USAC to refile its invoice on remand.  In this instance, we waive any procedural deadlines, including the invoice deadline, that might be necessary to effectuate our ruling.  See supra note 8.

Nex-Tech Inc. (Barnes Unified School District 223), KS, Application No. 944066, Request for Review, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed Aug. 2, 2016)
Timely Filed Invoice Deadline Extension We find, based on the record before us, that Caldwell Parish School District timely filed an invoice deadline extension request.  Although the request did not include the specific funding request number (FRN), it contained enough specificity for USAC to determine what the filer wanted and to extend the invoice deadline, especially considering there was only one FRN that had not yet been processed.  See, e.g., Pasadena Unified School District, Schools and Libraries Universal Service Support Mechanism, CC Docket No. 02-6, Order, 21 FCC Rcd 2116 (WCB 2006) (noting that while the burden of timely and accurately filing rests with the applicant, USAC retains an obligation to conduct a reasonable inquiry into the filings and materials that USAC itself has in its possession when making its determinations).  In this instance, we waive any procedural deadlines, including the invoice deadline, that might be necessary to effectuate our ruling.  See supra note 8.

Waiver of Special Construction Service Delivery Deadline See Requests for Waiver of the Decisions of the Universal Service Administrator by Grants/Cibola County School District and Jemez Pueblo Tribal Consortium, CC Docket No. 02-6, Order, DA 18-1060, 4, para. 8 (WCB 2018) (waiving the special construction service delivery deadline because the applicant was unable to complete implementation for reasons beyond the service provider’s control and the petitioner made good faith efforts to comply with Commission rules and procedures). Orange County Public Schools was unable to complete implementation for reasons beyond its control (i.e., inclement weather, permitting delays, and delayed funding disbursements) and made good faith efforts to comply with Commission rules and procedures (e.g., timely filing service delivery deadline extension requests with USAC). Accordingly, we waive the special construction service delivery deadline and direct USAC to set a new service delivery deadline of June 30, 2019 and adjust any associated administrative deadlines accordingly.

Regional Office of Administration #26 Fulton/Hancock/McDonough/Schuyler, IL, Application No. 1034362, Request for Waiver, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed Mar. 14, 2018) We also deny the request for an extension of the service delivery deadline for Regional Office of Administration #26 Fulton/Hancock/McDonough/Schuyler. The petitioner failed to show that the extension was required because of circumstances beyond the service provider's control and failed to demonstrate it made significant efforts to secure the necessary extensions in a timely manner.  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, 13653, para. 3 (WCB 2014) (denying late-filed extensions of the deadline for service implementation when applicants failed to demonstrate they were unable to complete implementation on time for reasons beyond the service providers’ control and failed to make significant efforts to secure the necessary extensions in a timely manner).
