Dec. Appeal Decisions Released by FCC

On December 30, 2020, the FCC issued its monthly Public Notice deciding a number of requests for review, requests for waiver, and petitions for reconsideration related to actions taken by USAC.
 
The FCC resolves requests that are consistent with its precedent by issuing a “streamlined” list of decisions and classifying the matters based on the issue involved and the FCC rule in question.
 
Appeals involving the following issues were granted:
  • Ministerial and/or Clerical Errors
  • Late-Filed FCC Form 471 Applications – Funding Year 2020 Application Less Than 60 Days Late
  • USAC Decision Issued After Invoice Deadline
Appeals involving the following issues were denied:
  • Invoice Deadline Extension Requests
  • Late-Filed FCC Form 471 Applications
  • Relying on FCC Form 470 That Did Not Seek Bids on Type of E-rate Services Later Requested
  • Untimely Filed Appeals or Waiver Requests
