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 Dismissed – Invoice 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 were funded). A&A Technologies International LLC (Broward Junior Academy), FL, Application No. 201024668, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed Jan. 4, 2022) Dismissed for Failure to Comply with the Commission’s Basic Filing Requirements 47 CFR § 54.721 (setting forth general filing requirements for requests for review of decisions issued by USAC); Wireline Competition Bureau Reminds Parties of Requirements for Request for Review of Decisions of the Universal Service Administrative Company, CC Docket Nos. 96-45, 02-6, WC Docket Nos. 02-60, 06-122, 10-90, 11-42, 13-184, 14-58, Public Notice, 29 FCC Rcd 13874 (WCB 2014) (reminding parties of the Commission’s appeal filing requirements pursuant to 47 CFR § 54.721 which, along with a proper caption and reference to the applicable docket number, require: (1) a statement setting forth the party’s interest in the matter presented for review; (2) a full statement of relevant, material facts, with supporting affidavits and documentation; (3) the question presented for review, with reference, where appropriate, to the relevant Commission rule, order, or statutory provision; and (4) a statement of the relief sought and the relevant statutory or regulatory provision pursuant to which such relief is sought). Although the Bureau will not consider requests for review of decisions by the Universal Service Administrator without the relevant FCC Form 471 application number(s), here Bureau staff reviewed the submission and USAC’s E-Rate Open Data and could not determine what action(s) the petitioners were requesting review because of the lack of sufficient information included in the requests. Clarksburg CII School District, MO, No Application Number Given, Request for Waiver, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed Oct. 27, 2021) Riviera Independent School District, TX, No Application Number Given, Request for Waiver, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed Oct. 29, 2021) Dismissed – No Adverse Decision Issued See, e.g., Requests for Review of the Decision of the Universal Service Administrator by Danbury Public Schools; Federal-State Joint Board on Universal Service; Changes to the Board of Directors of the National Exchange Carrier Association, Inc., CC Docket Nos. 96-45, 97-21, Order, 17 FCC Rcd 17380, para. 2 (WCB 2002) (dismissing a request for review where no adverse USAC decision had yet been issued). Here, the petitioner is asking that USAC be directed to issue decisions regarding its pending invoices, however, these reviews are still underway and have not been completed yet.

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). Eligible Entities See, e.g., Requests for Review of the Decisions of the Universal Service Administrator by Bootheel Consortium et al.; Schools and Libraries Universal Service Support Mechanism, CC Docket No. 02-6, Order, 22 FCC Rcd 8747, 8750-51, paras. 7-8 (2007) (directing USAC to reevaluate the entity’s eligibility for E-rate support based on the additional supporting evidence that applicants have provided). Briya Public Charter School, DC, Application No. 201042918, Request for Review and/or Waiver, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed Apr. 22, 2021, supplemented Feb. 25, 2022) Invoice Correction See, e.g., Requests for Review of the Decisions of the Universal Service Administrator by Aiken County Public Schools et al.; Schools and Libraries Universal Service Support Mechanism, CC Docket No. 02-6, Order, 22 FCC Rcd 8735, 8737-40, paras. 6, 9-10 (2007); Requests for Review of Decisions of the Universal Service Administrator by Business Technologies, Inc. et al.; Schools and Libraries Universal Service Support Mechanism, CC Docket No. 02-6, Order, 25 FCC Rcd 17033 (WCB 2010) (directing USAC to provide applicants with the opportunity to have their funding requests reassessed). We also note that Industry Systems LLC still has time (until Oct. 28, 2022) to resubmit FCC Forms 474 and rectify the invoice issues noted in this appeal. Industry Systems LLC (Cheyenne Independent School District 7), OK, Application No. 211002911, Request for Waiver, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed Oct. 15, 2021) Invoice Timely Filed Consistent with our obligation to conduct a de novo review of appeals of decisions made by USAC, we grant these requests for review. See 47 CFR § 54.723. We find that the applicants timely filed an invoice for the services at issue. Because the invoices were submitted before the respective invoice filing deadline, USAC should accept the submitted invoice or the applicant should be given the opportunity by USAC to refile invoices on remand. We note that the service providers have now submitted their FCC Forms 473 for funding year 2020, certifying compliance with our rules. In this instance, we waive sections any procedural deadlines, including section 54.514(a) (i.e., invoice filing deadline), that might be necessary to effectuate our ruling. See also supra note 6. Junction City School District, OR, Application No. 201021256, Request for Waiver, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed Nov. 12, 2021) Kennett School District 39, MO, Application No. 201025888, Request for Waiver, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed Nov. 10, 2021) 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, n.9 (WCB 2010) (allowing the correction of ministerial and clerical errors where the applicant entered an incorrect date on its FCC Form 471). Bonduel School District, WI, Application No. 201012314, Request for Waiver and /or Review, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed Feb. 24, 2022) Falmouth Academy, MA, Application No. 201043616, Request for Waiver, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed Feb. 22, 2022, supplemented Mar. 4, 2022) Necessary Resources We remand Lynn Public Schools’ request for waiver to USAC for further review. In 2009, the Commission provided formal guidance to USAC on situations where USAC finds equipment was not being utilized and whether recovery was required. See Letter from Dana R. Shaffer, Chief, Wireline Competition Bureau, FCC, to Scott Barash, Acting Chief Executive Officer, USAC, CC Docket No. 02-6, Letter, 24 FCC Rcd 417 (WCB 2009) (“Table C” Recovery Issues Letter). In the letter, the Bureau explained that USAC should not seek recovery in every instance in which it determined the equipment was not utilized. The Bureau noted that, for example, in situations where equipment was uninstalled because of personnel issues, but was subsequently installed, recovery would not be warranted. In the instant case, Lynn Public Schools underwent an extensive rewiring project. A second team of technicians finished the project but were unaware of the new equipment and re-installed the old switches instead of the new ones. Once aware, the school immediately called the vendor which installed the new equipment. We now ask USAC to reassess its recovery action based on our guidance in the “Table C” Recovery Issues Letter. In remanding this request to USAC, we make no finding regarding the underlying issue in this petition and direct USAC to make a final determination. See also supra note 6. 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 a USAC decision or action. 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 deadline for petitioners that filed an appeal within a reasonable period of time after receiving actual notice of the mistake). Lynn Public Schools, MA, Application No. 582501, Request for Waiver, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed Mar. 31, 2011) USAC Decision Issued After Invoice Deadline See Modernizing the E-rate Program for Schools and Libraries, WC Docket No. 13-184, Order, 35 FCC Rcd 14426, 14431, para. 15 (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). Cincinnati Technology Academy, OH, Application No. 191023794, Request for Waiver, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed Oct. 25, 2021) Minnehaha Academy, MN, Application Nos. 191032225, 191040172, Request for Waiver, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed Oct. 25, 2021) Waiver of Special Construction Service Delivery Deadline See, e.g., 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 and the petitioner made good faith efforts to comply with Commission rules and procedures). Here, we find that the applicant was unable to complete implementation for reasons beyond its control and made good faith efforts to comply with Commission rules and procedures. Accordingly, we waive the special construction service delivery deadline and direct USAC to set a new service delivery deadline of June 30, 2023, and adjust any associated administrative or procedural deadlines, including the invoice filing deadline, that might be necessary to effectuate our ruling.

Here, the applicant is requesting that its E-Rate support be increased for services that were not included on its approved FCC Form 471 application. Such changes to add additional services to increase committed support amounts are not ministerial and clerical errors. See, e.g., Requests for Waiver and Review of Decisions of the Universal Service Administrator by Beth Rivka School; Schools and Libraries Universal Service Support Mechanism, CC Docket No. 02-6, Order, 25 FCC Rcd 10653, 10663, para. 20 (finding applicants’ requests to add services to increase support were not clerical or ministerial errors and allowing applicants to “correct” applications months later seriously undermines the application filing deadline date).

Aero Communications LLC, (Eastland C U School District 308), IL, Application No. 171005310 (FRN 1799009235), Request for Waiver, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed Feb. 25, 2020) Aero Computing, Ltd.
