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 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 the release date 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
Dismiss 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) (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).  The original appeal was denied because the petitioner entered into a contract with its service provider without complying with the E-Rate program’s competitive bidding rules by filing an FCC Form 470 and waiting 28 days before entering into an agreement.  Although the petitioner filed a petition for reconsideration citing to a different FCC Form 470 number, we find that the form provided on reconsideration was used for a different procurement and does not cure the underlying competitive bidding violation.


Unified School District 214 Ulysses, KS, Application No. 191005367, Petition for Reconsideration, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed May 28, 2020)
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).

      Incorrect Service Start Date on FCC Form 486 See, e.g., Request for Review and/or Waiver by Glendale Unified School District, Schools and Libraries Universal Service Support Mechanism, CC Docket No. 02-6, Order, 21 FCC Rcd 1040 (WCB 2006); see also Request for Waiver by Harvey Public Library District, Schools and Libraries Universal Service Support Mechanism, CC Docket No. 02-6, Order, 23 FCC Rcd 15419 (WCB 2008) (granting waiver requests when the applicants inadvertently listed the wrong service start date on their FCC Forms 486).  Consistent with precedent, we also find good cause exists to waive section 54.720(a) or (b) of the Commission’s rules, which requires that petitioners file their appeals within 60 days of an adverse USAC decision.  See Requests for Review and/or Waiver of Decisions of the Universal Service Administrator by Barrow County School District et al.; Schools and Libraries Universal Service Support Mechanism, CC Docket No. 02-6, Order, 26 FCC Rcd 4028, 4029, para. 2 (WCB 2011) (Barrow County Order) (waiving the filing deadline for petitioners that filed an appeal within a reasonable period of time after receiving actual notice of the mistake).

San Luis Coastal Unified School District, CA, Application No. 191023102, Request for Waiver, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed Nov. 25, 2020)
       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 nn.5 & 20 (WCB 2010) (granting a waiver where the applicant omitted items from its source list or selected the wrong category of service on its FCC Form 471); Requests for Review of Decisions of the Universal Service Administrator by Archer Public Library et al.; Schools and Libraries Universal Service Support Mechanism, CC Docket No. 02-6, Order, 23 FCC Rcd 15518, 15521 n.19 (WCB 2008) (permitting applicant to correct a pre-discount price on its FCC Form 471 to conform to the price on the source document).

Waunakee Community School District, WI, Application No. 201031843, Request for Waiver and/or Review, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed Dec. 29, 2020)

FCC Form 470 with Inadequate Specificity and No Indication of Request for Proposal (RFP) on Services Being Submitted See, e.g., Request for Review of the Decision of the Universal Service Administrator by Ysleta Independent School District, CC Docket No. 02-6, Order, 18 FCC Rcd 26407, 26410, para. 7 (2003) (requiring FCC Forms 470 “to describe the services that the schools and libraries seek to purchase in sufficient detail to enable potential providers to formulate bids”).  In the instant case, USAC denied funding after determining that the applicant failed to provide sufficient information on the services requested on its FCC Form 470 and therefore was required to issue a request for proposals (RFP).  Based on our review of the record, we find that Round Rock Independent School District (Round Rock) did in fact issue an RFP that was properly uploaded with the FCC Form 470 and provided sufficient information to enable service providers to formulate a responsive bid.  We also waive any procedural deadlines that may be necessary to effectuate our ruling, including the invoice deadline and the special construction service delivery deadline applicable to Round Rock’s funding year 2019 request and direct USAC to set a new service delivery deadline of June 30, 2022.  See supra note 4; 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, 33 FCC Rcd 10048, 10051, 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, including the time involved while USAC completed its review of the funding request, and the petitioner made good faith efforts to comply with Commission rules and procedures); Request for Review of the Decision of the Universal Service Administrator by Houston Independent School District, CC Docket No. 02-6, Order, 20 FCC Rcd 16775, 16777-78, para. 6 (WCB 2005) (granting a waiver of the service delivery deadline for non-recurring services when funding disbursements were delayed while the Administrator conducted further review of the application for program compliance).  In addition, although not before us on appeal, we remind applicants that, consistent with the Commission’s mandate that the E-Rate program be competitively neutral with respect to service providers and technology, a self-provisioned network can be constructed using transport technology other than fiber, such as fixed microwave.  See 47 USC § 254(h)(2)(A) (requiring the Commission’s rules for the E-Rate program to be competitively neutral); Federal-State Joint Board on Universal Service, CC Docket No. 96-45, Report and Order, 12 FCC Rcd 8776, 8801, para. 46 (adopting a principle of competitive neutrality that requires the E-Rate program and its rules to “neither unfairly advantage nor disadvantage one provider over another, and neither unfairly favor nor disfavor one technology over another”) (subsequent history omitted).

Round Rock Independent School District, TX, Application No. 191020315, Request for Review and/or a Waiver, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed Jan. 7, 2020, supplemented Dec. 15, 2020) Round Rock supplemented its pending request on December 15, 2020 (requesting an extension of the special construction service delivery deadline, among other things).  See Round Rock Independent School District, TX, Application No. 191020315, Request for Review and/or a Waiver, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed Dec. 15, 2020).  

Late-Filed FCC Form 471 Applications – Filed Within 14 Days of the Close of the Window See, e.g., Requests for Waiver and Review of Decisions of the Universal Service Administrator by Academy of Math and Science et al.; Schools and Libraries Universal Service Support Mechanism, CC Docket No. 02-6, Order, 25 FCC Rcd 9256, 9259, para. 8 (2010) (Academy of Math and Science Order) (finding special circumstances existed to justify granting waiver requests where, for example, petitioners filed their FCC Forms 471 within 14 days of the filing window deadline).  
Consistent with precedent, we also find good cause exists to waive section 54.720(a) or (b) of the Commission’s rules for Iowa State Library, which requires that petitioners file their appeals within 60 days of an adverse USAC decision.  See Barrow County Order, 26 FCC Rcd at 4029, para. 2 (waiving the filing deadline for petitioners that filed the appeal within in a reasonable period of time after receiving actual notice of the mistake).

Amador County Unified School District, CA, Application No. 201047584, Request for Waiver, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed Dec. 7, 2020)

Iowa State Library, IA, Application No. 201043997, Request for Waiver, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed Dec. 17, 2020)

Late-Filed FCC Form 471 Applications – Due to Circumstances Beyond Their Control See, e.g., Requests for Waiver and Review of Decisions of the Universal Service Administrator by Abbotsford School District et al.; Schools and Libraries Universal Service Support Mechanism, CC Docket No. 02-6, Order, 27 FCC Rcd 15299, 15300, para. 2 (WCB 2012) (applicant filed their FCC Form 471 application beyond 14 days of the FCC Form 471 deadline due to delays beyond their control).

Shenandoah Community School District, IA, Application No. 201044404, Request for Waiver, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed May 27, 2020, supplemented Dec. 21, 2020)
Late-Filed FCC Form 471 Applications – Funding Year 2020 Application Less Than 60 Days Late See Requests for Waiver and Review of Decisions of the Universal Service Administrator by Agri-Business Child Development et al.; Schools and Libraries Universal Service Support Mechanism, CC Docket No. 02-6, Order, 35 FCC Rcd 8278, 8280, para. 7 (WCB 2020) (Agri-Business Child Development Order) (finding good cause to waive the funding year 2020 FCC Form 471 application filing window deadline for applicants impacted by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic that requested a waiver of the filing deadline and submitted their applications within 60 days of the close of the filing window).  Because the Agri-Business Child Development Order was released August 6, 2020, we also find good cause exists to waive the funding year 2020 FCC Form 471 application filing window deadline for those applicants filing their applications on or before that date.  We emphasize, however, that this additional relief applies only to this subset of applications and applicants should not expect the Commission to grant additional waivers absent a showing of extraordinary circumstances.

Region 18 Education Service District – Wallowa County, NC, Application No. 201032005, Request for Waiver, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed Dec. 21, 2020)

To correct problems with a rejected invoice, Monticello School District 882 worked with USAC personnel instead of filing an appeal.  After working with USAC staff for a considerable period of time, the school district was then told by USAC staff to file an appeal, but the deadline had already passed.  We make no finding on the underlying issues in these appeals and remand these applications back to USAC for a determination on the merits.  See supra note 4.

Granted in Part

       USAC Decision Issued After Invoice Deadline See Modernizing the E-rate Program for Schools and Libraries, WC Docket No. 13-184, Order, FCC 20-178, 2020 WL 7351128, *4, para. 15 (rel. Dec. 10, 2020) (authorizing the Bureau to grant a waiver in instances where a program participant was unable to timely submit an invoice because they were awaiting a post-commitment decision from USAC, or received a decision approving a post-commitment request or granting an appeal of a previously denied or reduced funding request after the invoice filing deadline had passed).
We find that two applications filed by New England Center for Children do not involve instances where the program participant was unable to timely submit an invoice because they were awaiting a post-commitment decision from USAC.  We therefore make no determination and dismiss the requests for waiver for Application No. 171048833 and Application No. 171048779.
