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).  Sections 54.719(b), 54.1718(a)(1), and 54.2012(b)(2) 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.  Sections 54.719(c), 54.1718(a)(3), and 54.2012(a)(3) of the Commission’s rules provide that parties seeking waivers of the Commission’s rules shall seek review directly from the Commission.  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 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).

The Walden School, PA, Application No. 211022386, Request for Review, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed Feb. 14, 2022)
Dismissing Petitions for 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, 29 FCC Rcd 10356, 10357, para. 2 (WCB 2014) (Allan Shivers Library Order) (dismissing petitions for reconsideration that failed to identify any material error, omission, or reason warranting reconsideration, and relied on arguments that have been fully considered and rejected by the Bureau within the same proceeding).

Broome Street Academy Charter High School, NJ, Application No. 1043396, Petition for Reconsideration, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed Nov. 14, 2017) In denying Broome Street Academy Charter High School’s initial waiver of the invoice deadline, the Commission relied on the Ada School District Order as precedent.  See Requests for Waiver of Decisions of the Universal Service Administrator by Ada School District et al.; Schools and Libraries Universal Service Support Mechanism, CC Docket No. 02-6, Order, 31 FCC Rcd 3834, 3836, para. 8 (WCB 2016) (Ada School District Order) (denying requests for waiver of the Commission’s invoice extension rule for petitioners that failed to demonstrate extraordinary circumstances justifying a waiver).  On reconsideration, Broome Street Academy Charter High School argues that Ada School District Order is not relevant to its factual situation because the invoicing reimbursements were timely filed; there was no waste, fraud or abuse; and ministerial and clerical errors caused the problems.  We find, however, that the Ada School District Order is applicable.  Broome Street Academy Charter High School stopped filing its BEAR invoices after a misunderstanding of the E-Rate program rules.  See Broome Street Academy Charter High School Petition for Reconsideration at 1 (noting that it was “unaware that you could not use a combination of SPI and BEAR on a single FRN”).  As a result of this misunderstanding, the school stopped seeking E-Rate reimbursements through the BEAR process to avoid duplicate payments when its service provider began utilizing the SPI method mid-funding year.  Id.  It now seeks a waiver of the invoice filing deadline to continue to seek repayment through the BEAR invoicing process.  Consistent with precedent, we reaffirm our denial of Broome Street Academy Charter High School’s waiver and dismiss its petition.  See Ada School District Order, 31 FCC Rcd at 3836, para. 8 (denying requests for waiver after noting that a lack of understanding of the program rules does not constitute extraordinary circumstances).
 
Mirrer Yeshiva Educational Institute, NY, Application No. 241038583, Petition for Reconsideration, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed Mar. 2, 2026)
Secaucus Public Schools, NJ, Application No. 961276, Petition for Reconsideration, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed Nov. 16, 2017) 
West Carroll Parish School District, LA, Application No. 191015891, Petition for Reconsideration, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed Apr. 1, 2021) 
Dismissing Late-Filed Petitions for Reconsideration See, e.g., Petitions for Reconsideration by Rockwood School District and Yakutat School District; Schools and Libraries Universal Service Support Mechanism, CC Docket No. 02-6, Order, 26 FCC Rcd 13004 (WCB 2011) (Rockwood School District Order) (dismissing two petitions for reconsideration because they were filed more than 30 days after the date of  the Bureau’s decisions); 47 CFR § 1.106(f) (requiring petitions for reconsideration to be filed within 30 days of the date of the Bureau’s decision).

DataVizion, LLC (Knoxville Comm School District), IA, Application No. 221029310, Petition for Reconsideration, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed Feb. 17, 2026)
Dismissing 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, 38 FCC Rcd 1100, 1104, para. 10 (WCB 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 at USAC and have it considered on the merits).
Parties seeking review of USAC decisions must first file an appeal with USAC.  See 47 CFR § 54.719(a).  Because the petitioners filed their appeals with the Commission first, we now provide the petitioners 60 days from the release date of this Public Notice to refile their appeals 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 appeals to be considered on the merits by USAC without being considered late.  See Little Falls Township Order, 38 FCC Rcd at 1104, para. 10.  Appeals should be filed in the E-Rate Productivity Center portal, found here: EPC.  See also infra note 13. 

Cameron Parish Library, LA, Application No. 171014111, Request for Review, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed May 15, 2019) 
Carroll County School District, MD, Application No. 161011907, Request for Review, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed Aug. 27, 2018) Carroll County School District is seeking an invoice deadline extension because its invoice reimbursement was reduced after the removal of ineligible services or products by USAC.  We find that there is no need for Carroll County School District to seek a waiver to resubmit the invoice in question because it can appeal the eligible services decision directly with USAC.  Although Carroll County School District also seeks a waiver of our appeal filing deadline, we note that the school district’s filing to the Commission was timely because the 60-day appeal-filing deadline fell on a weekend.  See 47 CFR § 1.4(e)(1) (providing that in cases where the close of the 60-day appeal period falls on a weekend, the document shall be filed on the next business day). 

Coleman Independent School District, TX, Application No. 171039790, Request for Review, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed Dec. 12, 2018) 
Remanding to USAC for Review on the Merits of the Invoice Denial We remand this appeal to USAC for consideration on the merits.  Merrimack Education Center timely filed an invoice that was denied for missing documentation.  Instead of filing an appeal based on this denied invoice, Merrimack Education Center actively worked with USAC personnel to resubmit the invoice a second time.  Even though this second invoice was denied because it was filed after the invoice filing deadline, we find that the subsequent appeal from Merrimack Education Center should be considered on the merits and not dismissed on procedural grounds.  We therefore treat this filing as an appeal that requires USAC’s review on the merits.  See, e.g., Requests for Review of the Decision of the Universal Service Administrator by Picher-Cardin Independent School District 15; Federal Joint Board on Universal Service, CC Docket Nos. 96-45, Order, 17 FCC Rcd 17392, 17394, para. 5 (WCB 2002) (Picher-Cardin Independent School District 15 Order) (remanding an appeal to be addressed by USAC in the first instance); 47 CFR § 54.719 (noting that USAC must review appeals before the Commission can take action).  See also infra note 13.

Merrimack Education Center (Worcester Public Schools), MA, Application No. 161000448, Request for Review, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed Oct. 25, 2018) 
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 equipment/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 rule).

      Appeal Filed Late after Receiving Actual Notice of USAC’s Adverse Decision See, e.g., Requests for Review of Decisions of the Universal Service Administrator by ABC Unified School District, Schools and Libraries Universal Service Support Mechanism, CC Docket No. 02-6, Order, 26 FCC Rcd 11019, para. 2 (WCB 2011) (ABC Unified School District Order) (granting waivers of appeal filing deadline when the petitioners submitted their appeals or waiver requests within a reasonable period of time after receiving actual notice of USAC’s adverse decision).
Although Perry Street Preparatory Public Charter School is seeking an extension of the invoicing deadline, we find that the underlying issue can be addressed by giving the petitioner an opportunity to appeal USAC’s initial invoice denial dated July 9, 2018.  The denial letter was sent to the service provider and the school, not the consultant that filed the invoice – thus denying the consultant the opportunity to respond.  We find that granting a waiver of the appeal filing deadline will give the petitioner an opportunity to appeal the underlying issue. Although an appeal would be more than 60 days late based on the July 9, 2018 letter, we find that the petitioner was continually working with USAC on this issue and filed a waiver with the Commission immediately when all other options were exhausted.  See id.

On remand, we instruct USAC to work with these schools and its service provider to either allow SPI invoicing to go forward or to create an alternative method for reimbursement through the BEAR invoicing process.

      Improper Service Provider Involvement See Request for Review of Decisions of the Universal Service Administrator by Harrisburg City School District, CC Docket No. 02-6,  31 FCC Rcd 13549, 13552, paras. 1, 11 (WCB 2016) (Harrisburg City School District Order) (denying an E-Rate funding request and finding the school district and its service provider were jointly responsible for repayment when a school employee accepted bribes from the service provider to falsely certify that equipment purchased with E-Rate support had been delivered); see also Petition for Reconsideration of a Decision of the Wireline Competition Bureau by Lazo Technologies, Inc., CC Docket No. 02-6, Order on Reconsideration, 26 FCC Rcd 16661, 16663, para. 6 (2011) (Lazo Technologies Order on Reconsideration) (finding that the petitioners were not entitled to E-Rate support when the applicant’s and service provider’s employees engaged in misconduct that tainted the contract for E-Rate supported services and that the question of whether the petitioners had knowledge of, or involvement, in the misconduct is irrelevant to whether there was a violation of E-Rate rules); Request for Review or Waiver of a Decision of the Universal Service Administrator by RECtec Technology and Communications (Colcord Public Schools), CC Docket No. 02-6, Order, 29 FCC Rcd 8180, 8083-84, para. 11 (WCB 2014) (RECtec Order) (directing USAC to recover from the applicant and service provider because both violated E-Rate program rules).  In the present case, a Department of Justice investigation of the service provider, EMO Communications, exposed a deal between a Diocese of Columbus Schools’ (Diocese) employee and its E-Rate service provider, South Central Ohio Computer Association (SCOCA), to inflate the value of a five-year contract with ineligible expenses to benefit a relative of the Diocese’s employee who was a service provider employee.  As was the case in the Harrisburg City School District Order, the record in the present case involving the Diocese contains no evidence that other officials at the school were aware of its employee’s criminal conduct or sanctioned it, however this fact does not excuse the Diocese from returning the wrongfully-disbursed funds.

Late-Filed Invoice or Invoice Deadline Extension See, e.g., Ada School District Order, 31 FCC Rcd at 3836, para. 7 (denying petitioners’ waiver requests of the invoice filing deadline who failed to seek an extension before the invoice filing deadline and did not demonstrate extraordinary circumstances to justify waiving the Commission’s rules).

Bright Star Schools Secondary Charter Academy, CA, Application No. 171013404, Request for Waiver, CC Docket No. 02-6 (filed July 12, 2019) The consultant is seeking an invoice filing deadline extension because it claims a ministerial and clerical error led to the failure to seek full reimbursement on a timely-filed invoice.  The consultant said one account number was submitted but several others were not.  This explanation does not meet the definition of an invoice clerical or ministerial error, defined as errors one would make on an invoice “when entering data from one list to another, such as mistyping a number, using the wrong name or phone number, failing to enter an item from the source list onto the application, or making an arithmetical error.”  See Accomack County Public School Order, FCC Rcd at 332, para. 4.  Because this is not a ministerial or clerical error and Bright Star Schools Secondary Charter Academy did not demonstrate extraordinary circumstances to justify waiving the Commission’s invoice filing deadline rule in this instance, we deny the waiver request.

Parties seeking review of USAC decisions must first file an appeal with USAC. See 47 CFR § 54.719(a).
