Bryan Cofer Tuesday, March 09,2004 10:50 AM 'Christine Monje' RE: SLD - Request for Add'l Info on Appeal - appM327398

Dear Ms. Monje,

I have contacted FedEx Customer Service regarding the signature proof of delivery for the package. I was informed by one of their representatives, Mr. John Hunter, that this is only kept in their system for a period of 3 months. Unfortunately, this package was sent over a year ago.

Naturally, I am very concerned that the signature proof of delivery is unavailable However, I did follow the Form 486 instructions, which advised me to keep proof of mailing. I am hopeful that this will be sufficient for our appeal to be approved.

Please let me know if there is any other information I can provide, and thank you for your assistance in resolving this matter.

Regards,

Bryan Cofer Supervisor of Technology Morgan County Schools, TN (423) 346-6214

Adopted: February 5,2004 Released: February 6,2004

By the Telecommunications Access Policy Division, Wireline Competition Bureau:

1. The Telecommunications Access Policy Division has under consideration a Request for Review filed by Saint Vincent’s Home School, Fall River, Maine (Saint Vincent’s).’ Saint Vincent’s requests review of a decision by the Schools and Libraries Division (SLD) of the Universal Service Administrative Company? For the reasons set forth below, we grant the Request for Review and remand Saint Vincent’s application to the SLD for further processing.

In its Request for Review, Saint Vincent’s argues that its completed FCC Form 2. 471 (Form 471) application was timely filed on January 17,2002, the Funding Year 2002 Form 471 filing window deadline? As evidence of its assertion, Saint Vincent’s attaches a copy of its Express Mail Receipt from the United States Postal Service (Postal Service), dated January 17, 2002.4 In the alternative, Saint Vincent’s requests a waiver ofthe Funding Year 2002 Form 471 filing window deadline.’ Saint Vincent’s states that it appears that its original Form 471 application was not delivered to SLD, and after it learned of this, it re-submitted the completed application.6 Saint Vincent’s argues that the circumstances leading up to its application package

Section 54.71%~) ofthe Commission’s rules provides that any person aggrieved by an action taken by a division of the Universal Service Administrative Company may seek review from the Commission. 47 C.F.R. 54.719(c).

not being delivered was beyond its control and that its re-submitted application should be accepted?

3. We find that Saint Vincent’s provides documentation indicating that its Form 471 application package was postmarked prior to the close of the filing window deadline. We therefore grant Saint Vincent’s request for review and remand the matter to SLD, so that Saint Vincent’s Form 471 may be processed as a timely application.

4. ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to authority delegated under sections 0.91,0.291, and 54.722(a) ofthe Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. $5 0.91,0.291, and 54.722(a), that the Request for Review filed by Saint Vincent’s on August 5,2002 IS GRANTED and Saint Vincent’s application is REMANDED to SLD for further consideration.

Before the Telecommunications Access Policy Division is a Request for Waiver filed by the Woodbum School District (Woodburn).’ Petitioner seeks waiver of the filing deadline of October 28,2001 for filing FCC Form 486 in Funding Year 2001 of the schools and libraries universal service support mechanism? For the reasons set forth below, we grant Woodburn’s Request for Waiver.

before the October 28 deadline, but failed to complete the required Block 4 certification? However, SLD did not notify Woodbum of the problem with its form until SLD mailed notice on October 22,2001, shortly before the October 28,2001 deadline.4 Woodburn filed the corrected

FCC Form 486 on November 1,2001, after the October 28,2001 deadline? Consequent1 , it received discounts only for services starting November 1,2001, rather than July 1,2001. t?,

3. A rule may be waived where the particular facts make strict compliance inconsistent with the public intere~t.~ In addition, the Commission may take into account considerations of hardship, equity, or effective implementation of overall policy on an individual basis? In sum, waiver is appropriate if special circumstances warrant a deviation from the general rule, and such deviation would better serve the public interest than strict adherence to the general rule.’

4. Consistent with our precedent in the Eastern Lebanon Order, we conclude that Woodburn’s request for discounts on telecommunications services presents special circumstances warranting a waiver of our rules.” As was the case in the Eastern Lebanon Order, Woodburn made a g o d faith effort to comply with the deadline by filing its original FCC Form 486 early in the funding year and by filing the corrected version shortly after being apprised of the mistake.” Moreover, the deadline involved a first-time information request.’* Woodburn also sought discounts only for telecommunications services, and the Commission has authority to waive the deadline with respect to requests that involve only telecommunications services.l’

we been denied our Telecommur ., ations reimbursements because our Form 486 Start of Services had not been filed. However, our 486 Form was completed and mailed on December 23,2002. This was well within our filing window, since we had only received our Funding Commitment Decision Letter less than one week prior to this date. We have enclosed a copy of our proof of mailing as well as a copy of the 486 Form that was sent. Our school system really needs this funding as soon as possible. We would very much appreciate it if you would resolve this matter at your earliest convenience.

Thank you. -+ Bryan Cofer Supervisor of Technology
