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

CC Docket No. 02-6
WC Docket No. 02-60


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 that are, in fact, 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).

CXtec dba CableExpress Corp (Mountain View-Birch Tree School District), MO, Application No. 161050593, Petition for Reconsideration, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed May 14, 2019)
Lincoln County School District, OR, Application No. 161045334, Petition for Reconsideration, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed Jan. 30, 2018) Lincoln County School District’s petition for reconsideration was filed one day late.  Under the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (“Act”), there is a statutory requirement that any petition for reconsideration be filed within 30 days from the date upon which public notice is given of an action or decision for which reconsideration is sought.  47 U.S.C. § 405(a).  Although the Commission has authority to waive regulatory requirements, it does not have authority to waive a requirement imposed by statute and must therefore deny Lincoln County School District’s petition, despite the filing’s close proximity to the deadline.  See Federal-State Joint Board on Universal Service, CC Docket No. 96-45, Memorandum Opinion and Order, 15 FCC Rcd 7170, para. 13 (1999); see also Chrysler Corp. v. Brown, 441 U.S. 281, 302 (1979) (“the exercise of quasi-legislative authority by governmental departments and agencies must be rooted in a grant of such power by the Congress and subject to the limitations which that body imposes”).

Granted We remand these applications to USAC and direct USAC to complete its review of the applications and issue a funding commitment or a denial based on a complete review and analysis, no later than 90 calendar days from the release date of this Public Notice.  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.  See 47 CFR § 54.507(d) (requiring non-recurring services to be implemented by September 30 following the close of the funding year); 47 CFR § 54.514(a) (codifying the invoice filing deadline).

Missoula County Public Schools, MT, Application No. 161048265, Request for Waiver, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed May 13, 2019) To resolve problems related to incorrect line items in its funding request, Missoula County Public Schools filed an FCC Form 500 and subsequently opened a case in EPC to work with USAC personnel.  Even though USAC issued an RFCDL and COMAD, Missoula County and USAC continued working on resolving the issue.  When USAC stopped communicating with the school district, Missoula County Public Schools filed an appeal with the Commission.  Even though the appeal was late based on the dates of the RFCDL and COMAD, it was filed within a reasonable period of time from when Missoula no longer had an expectation that USAC would help them correct the problems.  We make no finding on the underlying issues in this appeal and remand these applications back to USAC to make a determination on the merits.  See supra note 9.

Holtville Unified School District, CA, Application No. 804960, Request for Waiver, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed Dec. 21, 2011)
Grant in Part
Incorrect Service Category We grant a waiver with respect to funding request number (FRN) 1799020413 after determining that Montrose County School District went out for bid for the correct category of service (internal connections) but mistakenly categorized the FRN as basic maintenance of internal connections on its FCC Form 471.  See, e.g., Ann Arbor Order, 25 FCC Rcd at 17320, n.20 (granting a waiver where the applicant selected the wrong category of service on its FCC Form 471).  We deny the appeal with respect to FRN 1799020416 after determining that Montrose County School District went out for bid for the incorrect category of service (internal connections) on its FCC Form 470 and was really seeking a service that should have been categorized as basic maintenance of internal connections.  See, e.g., Request for Review of a Decision of the Universal Service Administrator by Albert Lea Schools et al.; Schools and Libraries Universal Service Support Mechanism, CC Docket No. 02-6, Order, 24 FCC Rcd 4533, 4541-42, paras. 14-15 (WCB 2009) (Albert Lea Order); Petition for Reconsideration by Chicago Public Schools; Schools and Libraries Universal Service Support Mechanism, CC Docket No. 02-6, Order, 29 FCC Rcd 9289 (WCB) (denying appeals of applicants that filed FCC Forms 470 that did not include the types of services for which the applicants later requested E-Rate funding).
