Federal Communications Commission DA 23-141 DA 23-141 Released: February 28, 2023 STREAMLINED RESOLUTION OF REQUESTS RELATED TO ACTIONS BY THE UNIVERSAL SERVICE ADMINISTRATIVE COMPANY CC Docket No. 02-6 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 provide 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 provide 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 any 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 any 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 id. § 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 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). South Kingstown School District, RI, Application No. 221006929, Petition for Reconsideration, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed Dec. 19, 2022) Veritas Academy, MN, Application No. 221013321, Petition for Reconsideration, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed Jan. 31, 2023) Dismiss to Allow Appeal to be Filed with USAC See Petitions for Reconsideration by Little Falls Township School District et al.; Schools and Libraries Universal Service Support Mechanism, CC Docket No. 02-6, Order on Reconsideration, DA 23-110, para. 10 (WCB Feb. 8, 2023) (Little Falls Township Order) (dismissing without prejudice appeals that are filed with the Commission before being reviewed at USAC and waiving the 60-day appeal filing deadline to allow the party to refile its appeal with USAC). Parties seeking review of USAC decisions must first file an appeal with USAC. See 47 CFR § 54.719. Because the petitioners above filed their appeal with the Commission first, we now provide them 60 days from the release date of this Public Notice to refile their appeal at USAC. Pursuant to the Little Falls Township Order, we also waive the 60-day appeal filing deadline, 47 CFR § 54.720(a), to allow the appeal to be considered on the merits by USAC without being considered late. See Little Falls Township Order at para. 10. Appeals for funding year 2016 and forward should be filed in the E-Rate Productivity Center portal, found here: EPC. Appeals from funding year 2015 and prior funding years should be filed by email to Appeals@usac.org. Dynamic Learning Centers Proyecto Casa Rio Piedras, PR, Application No. 221037519, Request for Review, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed Aug. 26, 2022) Consistent with precedent, we also waive the appeal filing deadline for Dynamic Learning Centers Proyecto Casa Rio Piedras.

New Alkebulan Education Center, FL, Application No. 221003181, Request for Review, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed July 1, 2022) Granted We remand these applications to USAC and direct USAC to complete its review of the applications and issue a funding decision 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); id. § 54.514(a) (codifying the invoice filing deadline). Improper Service Provider Involvement – Potential Conflict of Interest We grant the following Requests with respect to funding year 1998 (FY 1998) application numbers: Alcona Community School District, 61199, 108674; Atlanta Community School District, 102212, 102422, 102727, 102746, 102918; Kaleva Norman Dickson School District, 46550, 46553, 46562, 46579, 102780, 109651. See Changes to the Board of Directors of the National Exchange Carrier Association, Inc., Federal-State Joint Board on Universal Service, CC Dockets No. 96-45 and 97-21, Order, 15 FCC Rcd 7197, 7200-7201, paras. 6-11 (1999) (Commitment Adjustment Order I) (finding that special circumstances warrant a deviation from the competitive bidding rules for commitments or disbursements made with respect to funding year-one (FY 1998) applications because affected applicants in the first year of the E-Rate program may have reasonably relied on the funding commitments applicants received from USAC that did not expressly state that USAC or the Commission may seek adjustment of the commitments after an applicant’s receipt of the funding commitment and applicants did not have experience in the process). Upon de novo review of the record, we also grant the following Requests with respect to funding year 1999 (FY 1999) application numbers: Alcona Community School District, 123264; Atlanta Community School District, 112627, 123376; Baldwin Community School District 123394; Kaleva Norman Dickson School District, 112643, 120496; Shepherd Public School District, 123622. The applicants did not retain the FCC Form 470s and USAC was unable to provide copies of the FCC Form 470s that purportedly list the selected service provider representative, Jeff Hathaway, as the FCC Form 470 contact person, which was the basis for these commitment adjustment decisions for these FY 1999 funding requests. Under these very limited circumstances, we are granting the applicant’s waiver request(s) because the underlying FCC Form 470 documentation, that includes Mr. Hathaway’s contact information, cannot be located at this time and the document retention period for the applicants had expired by the time the commitment adjustment letters were issued.
