**Adopted: December 24, 2002 Released: January 7, 2003**

By the Commission:

1.  In this Order, we deem certain requests for review as timely filed
    with the Commission,[^1] and we grant other petitioners a 60-day
    opportunity to resubmit their pleadings electronically.[^2]
    Specifically, this relief is provided to parties who have, after
    September 12, 2001, mailed to the Commission requests for review of
    an action of the Universal Service Administrative Company
    (Administrator) pursuant to section 54 of our rules, or petitions
    for reconsideration or applications for review arising from such
    pleadings (hereinafter collectively referred to as "requests for
    review").[^3] We take this action to ensure that these parties are
    not prejudiced by continuing disruptions in the mail service.

2.  On December 24, 2001, we released the *Interim Filing Procedures
    Order* in response to disruptions in mail service arising from the
    events of September 11, 2001.[^4] In the *Interim Filing Procedures
    Order*, we established that, in addition to the then-available
    methods of filing requests for review with the Commission, including
    mail or electronic submission through the Commission's Electronic
    Comment Filing System (ECFS), parties could also file by facsimile
    or electronic mail.[^5] We instructed that, if requests for review
    were filed by electronic mail, pleadings should be filed at the
    following e-mail address:
    [CCBSecretary@fcc.gov](mailto:XXXX@fcc.gov) and could be submitted
    in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF), Word, WordPerfect, or any
    other widely used word processing format. We further instructed
    that, if filed by facsimile, pleadings should be faxed to
    202-418-0187, and that the fax transmission should include a cover
    sheet listing contact name, phone number, and, if available, an
    e-mail address. We made these methods optional. Thus, parties could,
    if they wished, continue to file requests for review by mail, manual
    delivery, or overnight delivery.

3.  We further provided that, where a party had mailed a request for
    review to the Commission on or after September 12, 2001, and that
    request for review was timely as of the date of mailing, the party
    could resubmit its request for review electronically within 30 days
    of the effective date of the *Interim Filing Procedures Order*, and
    have the request for review treated as having been filed with the
    Commission on the date that it was originally mailed. We provided
    this refiling option so that parties who had submitted their
    requests for review prior to the issuance of the *Interim Filing
    Procedures Order* might take advantage of the new electronic filing
    methods to ensure that their requests for review were timely
    received despite delays with the mail.

4.  Since the *Interim Filing Procedures Order* was published in the
    Federal Register on January 24, 2002, we have received many requests
    for review that were submitted via United States mail.[^6] These
    parties did not take advantage of the new electronic filing options
    or the existing option to file via ECFS.

5.  Under Commission rules, documents are considered to be filed with
    the Commission only upon receipt.[^7] Upon receipt, the Office of
    the Secretary date-stamps the appeals as received. Based on our
    review of the FCC date-stamp of the appeals, many mailed requests
    for review arrived at the Commission more than 60 days from the
    issuance of the decision being appealed. Thus, even under our
    *Interim Filing Procedures Order*, these appeals would be considered
    untimely. When comparing the FCC date-stamp to the postmark date or
    the date of the pleading, however, it is evident that some of these
    mailed requests for review were substantially delayed in transit due
    to continuing disruptions in mail service to federal agencies.[^8]

6.  In our *Interim Filing Procedures Order*, we granted certain relief
    based on our belief that the mail system would return to normal
    operation.[^9] We have reviewed appeals filed by mail that were
    received after the release of the *Interim Filing Procedures Order*.
    From that review, we determined that there continued to be
    significant delays for appeals filed by mail. Only recently have we
    found that we are receiving requests for review within a reasonable
    time of the applicants' postmark.[^10] As such, we believe it is
    appropriate to extend the relief we originally ordered. Therefore,
    because of the unprecedented mail delays caused by the September 11,
    2001 attacks and the subsequent appearance of anthrax in the United
    States mail system, we now conclude that it is appropriate to grant
    relief to certain parties that continued to rely on the United
    States mail to file pleadings with the FCC. The filings made by
    these petitioners fall into two categories. The first category of
    filings include petitions that are actually dated and/or have a
    postmarked date on the envelope that indicates that the petitioners
    took reasonable steps to ensure that its application would be timely
    filed. The second category of filings include requests that are not
    dated and arrived at the FCC secretary's office without proof of
    postmark.[^11]

7.  Petitioners in the first category are set forth in Attachment C.
    Based on the dates of the requests for review and/or the postmarked
    dates on the envelopes when compared with the FCC-date stamp, we
    find that these petitioners reasonably complied with the terms of
    the *Interim Filing Procedures Order*. We find that these
    petitioners mailed their requests for review in a timely fashion.
    But for the disruptions in the mail service, their pleadings would
    have arrived at the Commission within the 60-day appeal period.[^12]
    Accordingly, we deem these requests for review as timely filed
    pursuant to this Order. Therefore, we direct that these requests for
    review shall be reviewed on their merits.

8.  The Commission has also received several requests for review that
    either were not dated or did not have a postmark date. During the
    disruptions in the mail service and the implementation of the
    ensuing security measures, these pleadings were separated from their
    envelopes before they arrived in the FCC's Office of the Secretary.
    Thus, we do not have proof of postmark for these pleadings. We shall
    afford these petitioners an opportunity to resubmit their requests
    for review with proof that their original submissions were timely
    filed. These requests for review may be resubmitted electronically
    or by facsimile within 60 days of the release date of this Order.
    All requests for review re-submitted pursuant to this paragraph
    shall be accompanied by a signed affidavit or a declaration pursuant
    to Commission rule section 1.16 stating the date on which the
    pleading was originally sent for delivery to the Commission and by
    what means (*i.e.*, by U.S. mail, express courier, or hand
    delivery). For this purpose only, the new pleading will be
    considered filed as of the date on which the original pleading was
    sent for delivery. The provisions of this paragraph are applicable
    to the petitioners listed in Attachment D. To the extent that it is
    determined that other filings not listed herein merit relief, we
    delegate to the Bureau the authority to grant such relief in keeping
    with this Order.

9.  In addition, although we will continue to allow parties to submit
    requests for review by mail, express courier, or hand delivery, we
    note that mail in-take and processing procedures may continue to
    result in delivery disruption and affect the timeliness of their
    filings with the Commission. The Commission's filing procedures are
    designed to receive documents through the ECFS system.[^13] We
    strongly encourage parties to make use of the ECFS filing option to
    ensure that their requests for review arrive at the Commission in a
    timely fashion. Our ECFS filing option ensures accurate and more
    efficient processing. Parties will still be able to file by
    facsimile at 202-418-0187.[^14]

10. ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to 54.722(a) of the
    Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. § 54.722(a), that the requests for
    review listed in Attachment A are DEEMED timely filed with the
    Commission.

11. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, pursuant to 54.722(a) of the
    Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. § 54.722(a), that the requests for
    review listed in Attachment B ARE GRANTED a 60-day opportunity to
    resubmit their pleadings electronically with the Commission.

[^1]: *See* Attachment A for a listing of each Request for Review.

[^2]: *See* Attachment B for a listing of each Request for Review.

[^3]: The Commission has denied certain requests for review that were
    filed in the relevant time period. However, based on the postmark
    date, we were able to determine that these requests for review were
    mailed 60 days after the relevant Administrator's decision, and
    thus, clearly did not comply with program rules.

[^4]: *Implementation of Interim Filing Procedures for Filings of
    Requests for Review, Federal-State Joint Board on Universal
    Service*, CC Docket No. 96-45, Order, FCC 01-376 (rel. December 26,
    2001; errata rel. December 28, 2001 and January 4, 2002) (*Interim
    Filing Procedures Order*).

[^5]: For details on how to use the ECFS to file documents with the FCC
    including requests for review, *see* FCC website,
    \<<http://www.fcc.gov/e-file/ecfs.html>\>.

[^6]: *Interim Filing Procedures Order*.

[^7]: 47 C.F.R. § 1.7.

[^8]: Since the time that anthrax was discovered in the United States
    mail, the mail to the FCC has been processed at an off-site
    location. The mail is chemically treated at this site before it is
    brought to the FCC.

[^9]: *Interim Filing Procedures Order*.

[^10]: Based on a review of our records, as of May 2002, we have not
    received any Requests for Review that were significant delayed by
    the disruptions in the mail delivery system.

[^11]: These pleadings arrived at the Commission without their
    postmarked envelopes. We assume that the envelopes were separated
    from their contents during the off-site transport and chemical
    treatment of the United States mail.

[^12]: For example, Albany Public Library's request for review was dated
    October 23, 2001 and postmarked on October 25, 2001. However, the
    request for review was not date-stamped at the Commission until
    January 3, 2002. *See* Attachment C.

[^13]: *See* \<<http://www.fcc.gov/e-file/ecfs.html>\>.

[^14]: The e-mail option set out in the *Interim Filing Procedures
    Order* is no longer available for petitioners' use. Thus parties may
    no longer file pleadings via e-mail at
    [CCBSecretary@fcc.gov](mailto:CCBSecretary@ffc.gov).
