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

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


Schools and Libraries (E-Rate)
CC Docket No. 02-6
Dismissed as Moot – Invoices Fully Paid See, e.g., Requests for Review of Decision of the Universal Service Administrator by Diversified Computer Solutions, Inc.; Schools and Libraries Universal Service Support Mechanism, CC Docket No. 02-6, Order, 27 FCC Rcd 5250, 5251, para. 3 (WCB 2012) (dismissing appeals as moot where invoicing records demonstrate that the entity was fully compensated for the funding it requested and all submitted invoices funded).

Wayne County Public Library, OH, Application No. 161002094, Request for Review, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed May 10, 2018)
Dismissed as Moot – Requested Action Taken by USAC See, e.g., Requests for Review and/or Requests for Waiver of the Decisions of the Universal Service Administrator by Al-Noor High School et al.; Schools and Libraries Universal Service Support Mechanism, CC Docket No. 02-6, Order, 27 FCC Rcd 8223, 8224, para. 2 (WCB 2012) (dismissing as moot requests for review where USAC had taken the action the petitioner requested).

Marist Catholic High School, OR, Application No. 161055596, Request for Review, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed May 16, 2018)

North Central Area Schools, MI, Application No. 161004224, Request for Review, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed July 10, 2018)

Dismissed on Reconsideration See, e.g., Requests for Waiver and Review of Decisions of the Universal Service Administrator by Allan Shivers Library et al.; Schools and Libraries Universal Service Support Mechanism, CC Docket No. 02-6, Order and Order on Reconsideration, 29 FCC Rcd 10356, 10357, para. 2 (WCB 2014) (Allan Shivers Library Order) (dismissing petitions for reconsideration that fail to identify any material error, omission, or reason warranting reconsideration, and rely on arguments that have been fully considered and rejected by the Bureau within the same proceeding).  We reject the petitioners’ argument that Commission rules did not prescribe a deadline for waiver requests during the time when petitioners’ waiver requests were late-filed.  Although the rule adopted March 6, 2015 added the term “waiver” to the appeal filing deadline language in section 54.720 of the Commission's rules, it was merely clarifying what the rule has always held:  requests for waivers and petitions for review must be filed within 60 days of the issuance of the decision at issue. 47 CFR § 54.720.  The Commission noted that clarification in December 2014, long before the petitioners filed their waiver requests.  See Modernizing the E-rate Program for Schools and Libraries, WC Docket No. 13-184, Second Report and Order and Order on Reconsideration, 29 FCC Rcd 15538, 15591, para. 133 (2014) (clarifying that the language in the rule means that affected parties have 60 days from the issuance of the decision to file an appeal, either with USAC in the case of requests for review, or the Commission or Bureau in the case of requests for waiver).

Immaculate Conception Catholic Services, Inc., RI, Application No. 181042720, Petition for Reconsideration, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed June 21, 2018)

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).

Robeson County Public Schools, NC, Application No. 813171, Request for Review, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed Dec. 12, 2016)

Invoice Timely Filed We find, based on the record before us, that North Country Library System's service provider timely filed FCC Forms 474 (Service Provider Invoice (SPI) Forms) calculated from the correct date of the extension granted 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 7.


North Country Library System, NY, Application No. 161058513, Request for Review, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed Nov. 27, 2018)

Ministerial and/or Clerical Errors See, e.g., Requests for Waiver and Review of Decisions of the Universal Service Administrator by Ann Arbor Public Schools et al.; Schools and Libraries Universal Service Support Mechanism, CC Docket No. 02-6, Order, 25 FCC Rcd 17319, 17319-20, para. 2 & nn.19, 20 (WCB 2010) (waiving the appeal filing deadline and permitting applicant to correct a mislabeling of a service category on its FCC Form 471).

Richmond County School System, GA, Application No. 171030785, Request for Waiver, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed Dec. 7, 2018)
Unable to Timely File Awaiting USAC Action See, e.g., Request for Review and/or Waiver of Decisions of the Universal Service Administrator by Ada Public Library; Schools and Libraries Universal Service Support Mechanism, CC Docket No. 02-6, Order, 32 FCC Rcd 1909, 1911, para. 6 (WCB 2017) (granting a waiver for applicants who were unable to file a BEAR form because they were waiting for USAC to provide an FCC Form 498 ID or personal identification number (PIN) at the time of the deadline).

Bottineau Public School, ND, Application No. 161048537, Request for Waiver, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed Apr. 24, 2018)
Waiver of Competitive Bidding Requirement to Comply with State and Local Procurement Rules See, e.g., Requests for Waiver and Review of Decisions of the Universal Service Administrator by Aberdeen School District et al.; Schools and Libraries Universal Support Mechanism, CC Docket No. 02-6, Order, 27 FCC Rcd 1941, 1942, para. 1 (WCB 2012) (granting a waiver where applicants failed to comply with state competitive bidding requirements because the Commission determined these were technical violations of the competitive bidding rules and there was no evidence of waste, fraud, or abuse).  Consistent with precedent, we also grant the applicant’s appeal for FRN 1488538, finding that the school district did not violate the necessary resource requirement, even though USAC did not address this issue in its Administrator’s Decision on Appeal.  Based on our review of the record, we find that the applicant had a reasonable expectation that it would have the necessary resources to use its E-Rate-supported equipment effectively.  See, e.g., Requests for Review of Decisions of the Universal Service Administrator by Academy of Excellence et al.; Schools and Libraries Universal Service Support Mechanism, CC Docket No. 02-6, Order, 22 FCC Rcd 8722, 8725-26, para. 6 (2007) (granting appeals where applicants had a specific, reasonable expectation that they would have necessary resources to use their eligible E-rate services effectively, but did not due to circumstances beyond their control).

Further, because we find that the applicant violated the Commission’s competitive bidding rules, we also decline to waive the applicant’s violation of the requirement to comply with state and local procurement rules for FRN 1488511.

St. Paul Catholic School, KY, Application No. 181043215, Request for Waiver, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed Aug. 14, 2018)

Untimely-Filed Appeals or Waiver Requests See, e.g., Requests for Review of Decisions of the Universal Service Administrator by Agra Public Schools I-134 et al.; Schools and Libraries Universal Service Support Mechanism, CC Docket No. 02-6, Order, 25 FCC Rcd 5684 (WCB 2010) (Agra Public Schools Order); Requests for Waiver or Review of Decisions of the Universal Service Administrator by Bound Brook School District et al.; Schools and Libraries Universal Service Support Mechanism, CC Docket No. 02-6, Order, 29 FCC Rcd 5823 (WCB 2014) (denying requests for review and/or waiver on the grounds that the petitioners failed to 1) submit their appeals either to the Commission or to USAC within 60 days; or failed to submit their waiver requests to the Commission within 60 days as required by the Commission’s rules; and 2) did not show special circumstances necessary for the Commission to waive the deadline).
Yeshiva Rav Isacsohn Academy filed its FCC Form 471 10 days late in funding year 2017.  While the Commission has granted waiver requests where petitioners filed their FCC Forms 471 within 14 days after the FCC Form 471 filing window deadline, it has done so in response to a petitioner’s waiver request seeking such relief.  See, e.g., Academy of Math and Science Order, 25 FCC Rcd at 9258, para. 6 (granting waiver requests from petitioners seeking waivers of the FCC Form 471 filing window deadline).  Our rules require parties seeking a waiver to seek relief from the Commission.  47 CFR § 54.719(c).  The waiver request must be filed within 60 days from the date of the adverse decision. 47 CFR § 54.720(a).  Because the instant waiver request was filed more than 60 days after the adverse decision and did not show special circumstances warranting waiver of the filing deadline, we do not consider the substance of the pleading (i.e. that its late-filed application in funding year 2017 met the Commission’s waiver standard and should be considered for funding).  See, e.g., Agra Public Schools Order, 25 FCC Rcd at 5688, para. 6 (denying appeal and waiver requests outright in instances where petitioners did not demonstrate the existence of special circumstances that would warrant a waiver of our appeal and waiver filing rules).

I’SOT dba Canby Family Practice Clinic, HCP No. 10618, Request for Waiver, WC Docket No. 02-60 (filed May 24, 2017)

Dismissed Without Prejudice

      Improperly Filed Valley View Health Center failed to first appeal to USAC. 47 CFR § 54.719(a)-(b) (providing that any party aggrieved by an action taken by USAC must first seek review from USAC, not the Commission). See Request for Review of a Decision of the Universal Service Administrator by La Canada Unified School District; Schools and Libraries Universal Service Support Mechanism, CC Docket No. 02-6, Order, 30 FCC Rcd 4729, 4729, para. 2 (WCB 2015) (dismissing an appeal that properly belonged before USAC pursuant to Commission rules).  We therefore dismiss Valley View Health Center’s appeals without prejudice to allow appellant to refile its appeals with USAC in the first instance.
