Federal Communications Commission DA 22-448 DA 22-448 Released: April 29, 2022 STREAMLINED RESOLUTION OF REQUESTS RELATED TO ACTIONS BY THE UNIVERSAL SERVICE ADMINISTRATIVE COMPANY CC Docket No. 02-6 WC Docket Nos. 02-60, 10-90, 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 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. Wall ISD, TX, Application No. 181012776, Request for Review, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed Aug. 4, 2021) 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 funded). Boston School District, MA, Application Nos. 201012783, 201002194, Request for Review, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed June 9, 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 Waiver where no adverse USAC decision had yet been issued). Here, the petitioner is seeking a waiver for an FCC Form 471 application that has not yet been filed. The petitioner should refile a waiver request once USAC has issued an adverse decision related to the FCC Form 471 at issue. St. Augustine School, RI, No Application Filed, Request for Waiver, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed Mar. 24, 2022) 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). Granting Additional Time to Respond to USAC with Information See, e.g., Requests for Review of the Decision of the Universal Service Administrator by Alpaugh Unified School District et al.; Schools and Libraries Universal Service Support Mechanism, CC Docket No. 02-6, Order, 22 FCC Rcd 6035 (2007); Requests for Review of Decisions of the Universal Service Administrator by Ben Gamla Palm Beach et al.; Schools and Libraries Universal Service Support Mechanism, CC Docket No. 02-6, Order, 29 FCC Rcd 1876 (WCB 2014) (granting requests for review of applicants that had been denied funding because they failed to respond to USAC’s request for information within the USAC-specified time frame). In examining the record, we find that USAC reviewers did not adhere to USAC’s procedures by conducting adequate outreach to the library that could have prevented the need for this appeal. Therefore, in this specific instance, we waive 47 CFR § 54.719(a)-(b) that requires parties seeking review of USAC decisions to first file an appeal with USAC. See, e.g., Requests for Review of Decisions of the Universal Service Administrator by Savannah R-III School District; Schools and Libraries Universal Service Support Mechanism, CC Docket No. 02-6, Order, 23 FCC Rcd 12053, n.30 (WCB 2008) (finding good cause to waive Commission’s rules because the issue on appeal before the Commission should have been resolved with USAC before the petitioner resorted to filing an appeal).

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 School District Order) (waiving the filing deadline for petitioners that filed the appeal as soon they received actual notice of the mistake and when the appeal was filed within a reasonable period of time after receiving actual notice of the mistake).

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). Here, Johnston County School District was undergoing a renovation that caused a delay in installing the new equipment. Once the renovations were completed and, in one case, equipment was made compatible with the new switches, they were installed and used. In the case of St. Louis City School District, it quickly installed and began using the server once it was located, even before the audit report reporting the issue was released. We remand these applications to USAC for further review and make no findings on the final determinations. See supra note 6. We also find that Johnston County School District accurately determined its level of poverty, for use in determining its available discount rate for the E-Rate program, by using an approved alternative survey mechanism in the public school district in which they are located. See, e.g., Requests for Review of the Decision of the Universal Service Administrator by Academia Claret et al.; Schools and Libraries Universal Service Support Mechanism, CC Docket No. 02-6, Order, 21 FCC Rcd 10703, 10708, para. 12 (WCB 2006) (remanding applications for further processing when, upon de novo review, the Commission disagreed with USAC’s discount calculation determination).

We direct USAC to review the funding made for the benefit of Madison Virgil School District and examine whether payments in the amount of $111.99 were attributed to Madison Virgil School District in error, instead of Madison Library. See Requests for Review of a Decision of the Universal Service Administrator by West Branch-Rose City Area School; Schools and Libraries Universal Service Support Mechanism, CC Docket No. 02-6, Order, 23 FCC Rcd 15470, 15472, para. 5 (WCB 2012) (West Branch-Rose City Area School Order) (remanding an application to USAC when it appears a funding discrepancy could be resolved through USAC's review of the documentation submitted by the petitioner as part of its appeal). We make no finding regarding the underlying issue in this petition and remand the application to USAC to make a final determination. See supra note 6. Madison Telephone LLC (Madison Virgil School District), KS, Application No. 191020327, Request for Review, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed Sept. 24, 2020) Service Delivery Deadline Extension Requirement Met Consistent with our obligation to conduct a de novo review of appeals of decisions made by USAC, we grant this Request for Waiver. See 47 CFR § 54.723. On June 24, 2018, USAC dismissed Jefferson County Public Schools’ May 25, 2018 request for a service delivery deadline extension because, although it was timely, it was filed more than 120 days before the service implementation deadline of Sept. 30, 2018. Because the request was timely, USAC should accept the original FCC Form 500 or work with the applicant and service provider in filing a new implementation deadline extension. Although the appeal was not filed within 60 days of USAC’s decision to dismiss the service delivery deadline extension request, the service provider has been working with USAC to implement the services at issue, with the last denial from USAC dated Oct. 22, 2019. We make no finding regarding the underlying issue in this petition and remand the application to USAC to make a final determination. See supra note 6. The Fishel Company (Jefferson County Public Schools), KY, Application No. 171026261, Request for Review, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed Dec. 19, 2019) Substituting FCC Form 486 Certification and Information After successfully having its appeal granted by the Commission in March 2020, United Systems, Inc. is seeking reimbursement from USAC for services performed in funding year 2006 for Boley Independent School District I-13 (Boley ISD). In the intervening years between United Systems’ Inc. appeal and the FCC’s decision, the school district disbanded and cannot file the necessary FCC Form 486 that is required to allow United Systems, Inc. to file its requests for reimbursement with USAC. To ensure that United Systems, Inc. has an opportunity to receive its E-Rate funding, we instruct USAC on remand to accept the CIPA certifications from Boley ISD’s other FCC Forms 486 filed in funding year 2006 and verify the service start date by reviewing the bills and other invoicing information submitted by United Systems, Inc. United Systems, Inc. (Boley Independent School District I-13), OK, Application No. 535035, Request for Review, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed Nov. 18, 2020) Sufficient Information Provided to Determine Eligibility See, e.g., Requests for Review of the Decision of the Universal Service Administrator by Fayette County School District; Schools and Libraries Universal Service Support Mechanism, CC Docket No. 02-6, Order, 20 FCC Rcd 12880, 12882, para. 4 (WCB 2005) (granting appeals where documentation submitted as part of Program Integrity Assurance review sufficiently describes the products and services sought). On remand, if necessary, we instruct USAC to provide the applicant with a detailed inquiry of the documents and information necessary to determine the eligibility and cost of the request for funding. Based on the record, it appears that the applicant provided USAC with prior year bills that included the taxes and other fees and it is not clear if USAC reviewed this documentation and found it to be insufficent See id. J. Sterling Morton High School District 201, IL, Application No. 181041659, Request for Review, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed Feb. 18, 2020) 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). For Oro Grande Elementary School District, USAC also denied the invoices because “SPIN [143050436] not registered with USAC.” We note, however, that the service provider for Oro Grande Elementary School District submitted its FCC Forms 473 for funding year 2019, certifying compliance with our rules. 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) Oro Grande Elementary School District, CA, Application No. 191041149, Request for Waiver, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed Sept. 30, 2021) Uplift Education, TX, Application No. 171001911, Request for Waiver, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed Nov. 5, 2020) Waiver of Installment Payment Rules We grant and remand this application. We find, based on the record before us, that Hunt Telecommunications, LLC and Caddo Parish School District applied for special construction funding under the E-Rate program using an FCC-approved installment payments option that allowed the parties to seek reimbursement of the entire multi-year amount during a single funding year, but pay the non-discounted share in installment payments. See Modernizing the E-Rate Program for Schools and Libraries; Connect America Fund, WC Docket Nos. 13-184 and 10-90, Second Report and Order and Order on Reconsideration, 29 FCC Rcd 15538, 15547-48, para. 22 (2014) (allowing schools and libraries to pay for the discounted portion of special construction charges in installment payments of up to four years and allowing them to seek reimbursement of the entire four-year amount during a single funding year). The parties were unaware, however, that they were no longer eligible for the installment payment plan option when USAC cancelled the funding request for special construction of leased dark fiber and created a new funding request on their behalf. Because USAC did not specifically inform the applicant that the newly-created funding request was not eligible for the installment payment plan, the parties reasonably believed it would be fully paid when invoicing, leading to a significantly reduced reimbursement for one invoice (one-fourth of the total four-year cost). We now remand this application back to USAC with instructions to work with the service provider and applicant to treat this funding request as a request eligible for the installment payment plan option. USAC should also determine whether the applicant made subsequent annual payments and has paid its non-discounted share of the costs.. In this instance, we waive sections any procedural deadlines, including the invoice filing deadline, that might be necessary to effectuate our ruling. See supra note 6. We also waive the requirement that applicant pay the non-discount share in timely manner on the grounds that the applicant reasonably believed that it was able to pay in installments because the original funding request was submitted as a special construction request that allowed for installment payments for up to four years. See, e.g,, 47 CFR § 54.523. 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 Barrow County School District Order, 26 FCC Rcd at 4029, para. 2 (waiving the filing deadline for petitioners that filed the appeal as soon they received actual notice of the mistake and when the appeal was filed within a reasonable period of time after receiving actual notice of the mistake). Hunt Telecommunications, LLC (Caddo Parish School District), LA, Application No. 161038633, Request for Review and/or Waiver, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed Aug. 5, 2019) Grant in Part/Deny in Part Ministerial and/or Clerical Error and Ineligible Service We grant and remand to USAC the issue of determining whether Carmen Real Middle School is an eligible entity that was inadvertently left off the FCC Form 471 list of recipients. See, e.g., Ann Arbor, 25 FCC Rcd at 17320, n.5 (explaining that failure to enter an item from the source list onto the application is a ministerial/clerical error that can be permitted correction). We also remand to USAC the issue of whether Alma D'Arte Charter High School inappropriately received funding. See, e.g., West Branch-Rose City Area School Order, 23 FCC Rcd at 15472, para. 5 (remanding an application back to USAC when it appears a funding discrepancy could be resolved through USAC's review of the documentation submitted by the petitioner as part of its appeal). We deny, however, Las Cruces Public Schools Consortium’s (Las Cruces) request to treat distributed funds for ineligible services as a credit against future funding. See, e.g., Requests for Waiver and Review of Decisions of the Universal Service Administrator by AllWays, Inc. (Prairie Hills School District 144); Schools and Libraries Universal Service Support Mechanism, CC Docket No. 02-6, Order, 27 FCC Rcd 1968, 1968-69, para. 1 (WCB 2012) (upholding denials of funding requests for services that are not eligible for E-rate support). Consistent with precedent, we grant Las Cruces’ request to waive the appeal deadline because it filed its appeal to USAC two days late. See, e.g., 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) (granting waivers of filing deadline for appeals because they submitted their appeals to the Commission only a few days late).
