and Initiation of Debarment Proceedings, 24 FCC 

Rcd 2456 (Inv. & Hearings Div., Enf. Bur. 2009) 

(Attachment 1) (‘‘Notice of Suspension’’). In the 

Notice of Suspension, the Bureau referred to your 

frauds as being associated with E-Rate Funding 

Year 2002. See Notice of Suspension at 2456. The 

proper funding year associated with your fraud is 

E-Rate Program 6 and should be noted as Funding 

Year 2003. See United States v. Ruben B. Bohuchot.

such as the City, to begin a new pilot 

study with an alternate membrane, 

revise plans and specifications, and 

apply for a new construction permit 

from the NJDEP. The City has stated that 

if the City were subject to the Buy 

American provision, the project would 

be delayed for at least one year. The 

imposition of ARRA Buy American 

requirements on such projects otherwise 

eligible for State Revolving Fund 

assistance would result in unreasonable 

delay and thus displace the ‘‘shovel 

ready’’ status for this project. To further 

delay construction is in direct conflict 

with the fundamental purpose of the 

ARRA, which is to preserve and create 

jobs and promote economic recovery. 

The State Revolving Fund Program 

Team has reviewed this waiver request 

and has determined that the supporting 

documentation provided by the City is 

sufficient to meet the criteria listed 

under Section 1605(b), OMB’s 

regulation at 2 CFR 176.100, and in the 

EPA Headquarters April 28, 2009, 

Memorandum, ‘‘Implementation of Buy 

American provisions of Public Law 

111–5, the ‘American Recovery and 

Reinvestment Act of 2009’:’’ Iron, steel, 

and the manufactured goods are not 

produced in the United States in 

sufficient and reasonably available 

quantities and of a satisfactory quality. 

The basis for this project waiver is the 

authorization provided in Section 

1605(b)(2). Due to the lack of production 

of this product in the United States in 

sufficient and reasonably available 

quantities and of a satisfactory quality 

in order to meet the City’s technical 

specifications, a waiver from the Buy 

American requirement is justified. 

The Administrator’s March 31, 2009, 

delegation of authority memorandum 

provided Regional Administrators with 

the authority to issue exceptions to 

Section 1605 of ARRA within the 

geographic boundaries of their 

respective regions and with respect to 

requests by individual grant recipients. 

Having established both a proper basis 

to specify the particular good required 

for this project, and that this 

manufactured good was not available 

from a producer in the United States, 

the City of Salem is hereby granted a 

waiver from the Buy American 

requirements of Section 1605(a) of 

Public Law 111–5 for the purchase of a 

ZeeWeed® 500 ultra filtration 

membrane system using ARRA funds as 

specified in the City’s request of June 5, 

2009, as supplemented on June 16, 

2009. This supplementary information 

constitutes the detailed written 

justification required by Section 1605(c) 

for waivers ‘‘based on a finding under 

subsection (b).’’

That Notice of Suspension was published in 

the Federal Register on March 19, 2009.3 The 

Notice of Suspension suspended you from

not receive any such opposition. 

As discussed in the Notice of Suspension, 

the United States District Court in Texas 

sentenced you to serve ten years in prison 

following your conviction of Federal crimes, 

including conspiracy to commit bribery, 

conspiracy to launder monetary instruments, 

and multiple counts of bribery concerning 

programs receiving Federal funds, in 

connection with your participation in the ERate program.6 Evidence at trial 

demonstrated that, as the co-owner and 

president of Micro Systems Engineering, Inc., 

you participated in a bribery and money 

laundering scheme involving technology 

projects for the Dallas Independent School 

District, including a contract that involved ERate funds.7 Such conduct constitutes the 

basis for your debarment, and your 

conviction falls within the categories of 

causes for debarment under section 54.8(c) of 

the Commission’s rules.8 For the foregoing 

reasons, you are hereby debarred for a period 

of three years from the debarment date, i.e., 

the earlier date of your receipt of this Notice 

of Debarment or its publication date in the 

Federal Register.9 Debarment excludes you, 

for the debarment period, from activities

Re: Notice of Suspension and Initiation of 

Debarment Proceedings, File No. EB–08–IH– 

5313 

Dear Mr. Wong: The Federal 

Communications Commission (‘‘FCC’’ or 

‘‘Commission’’) has received notice of your 

conviction of Federal crimes, including 

conspiracy to commit bribery, conspiracy to 

launder monetary instruments, and multiple 

counts of bribery concerning programs 

receiving Federal funds, in connection with 

your participation in the schools and 

libraries universal service support 

mechanism (‘‘E-Rate program’’).11

Consequently, pursuant to 47 C.F.R. § 54.8, 

this letter constitutes official notice of your 

suspension from the E-Rate program. In 

addition, the Enforcement Bureau (‘‘Bureau’’) 

hereby notifies you that we are commencing 

debarment proceedings against you.12

I. Notice of Suspension 

The Commission has established 

procedures to prevent persons who have 

‘‘defrauded the government or engaged in 

similar acts through activities associated with 

or related to the schools and libraries support 

mechanism’’ from receiving the benefits 

associated with that program.13 On 

November 13, 2008, the United States District 

Court in Texas sentenced you to serve ten 

years in prison following your conviction of 

Federal crimes, including conspiracy to 

commit bribery, conspiracy to launder 

monetary instruments, and multiple counts 

of bribery concerning programs receiving 

Federal funds, in connection with your 

participation the E-Rate program.14 In 

addition, you and a co-conspirator were 

ordered to forfeit approximately $1 million as 

a result of your conviction.15

As the co-owner and president of Micro 

Systems Engineering, Inc., (‘‘MSE’’), you 

participated in a bribery and money 

laundering scheme involving technology 

projects for the Dallas Independent School 

District (‘‘DISD’’), including a contract that 

involved E-Rate funds for Funding Year 2002 

(‘‘E-Rate FY 2002 Contract’’).16 Beginning in 

November 2002, MSE and other companies 

formed a consortium (‘‘Consortium’’) for the 

purpose of submitting a bid proposal relating 

to E-Rate services for the DISD. While your 

co-defendant Ruben B. Bohuchot (‘‘Mr. 

Bohuchot’’) was Chief Technology Officer of 

the Dallas Independent School District,17 the 

Consortium submitted a bid proposal for ERate services after Mr. Bohuchot adjusted the 

requirements of DISD’s request for proposals 

to benefit you and your companies. 

Ultimately, the Consortium’s bid was 

approved by DISD.18 During the same time 

period, you and MSE provided things of 

value to Mr. Bohuchot, including extensive 

access to and control of large sports-fishing 

vessels, payment for numerous vacations and 

various entertainment services and cash.19 A 

Federal jury ultimately determined that you 

and Mr. Bohuchot engaged in a conspiracy to 

commit bribery and money laundering. As a 

result of your criminal activity, MSE received 

at least $35 million in aggregate revenue from 

DISD and the Universal Service 

Administrative Company as a result of its 

participation in the DISD E-Rate FY 2002 

Contract.20

requires the Bureau to suspend you from 

participating in any activities associated with 

or related to the schools and libraries fund 

mechanism, including the receipt of funds or 

discounted services through the schools and 

libraries fund mechanism, or consulting 

with, assisting, or advising applicants or 

service providers regarding the schools and 

libraries support mechanism.22 Your 

suspension becomes effective upon the 

earlier of your receipt of this letter or 

publication of notice in the Federal 

Register.23

Suspension is immediate pending the 

Bureau’s final debarment determination. In 

accordance with the Commission’s 

debarment rules, you may contest this 

suspension or the scope of this suspension by 

filing arguments in opposition to the 

suspension, with any relevant 

documentation. Your request must be 

received within 30 days after you receive this 

letter or after notice is published in the 

Federal Register, whichever comes first.24

Such requests, however, will not ordinarily 

be granted.25 The Bureau may reverse or 

limit the scope of suspension only upon a 

finding of extraordinary circumstances.26

Absent extraordinary circumstances, the 

Bureau will decide any request for reversal 

or modification of suspension within 90 days 

of its receipt of such request.27

II. Initiation of Debarment Proceedings 

Your conviction of criminal conduct in 

connection with the E-Rate program, in 

addition to serving as a basis for immediate 

suspension from the program, also serves as 

a basis for the initiation of debarment 

proceedings against you. Your conviction 

falls within the categories of causes for 

debarment defined in section 54.8(c) of the 

Commission’s rules.28 Therefore, pursuant to 

section 54.8(a)(4) of the Commission’s rules, 

your conviction requires the Bureau to 

commence debarment proceedings against 

you. 

As with your suspension, you may contest 

debarment or the scope of the proposed 

debarment by filing arguments and any 

relevant documentation within 30 calendar 

days of the earlier of the receipt of this letter 

or of publication in the Federal Register.29

Absent extraordinary circumstances, the 

Bureau will debar you.30 Within 90 days of 

receipt of any opposition to your suspension 

and proposed debarment, the Bureau, in the 

absence of extraordinary circumstances, will 

provide you with notice of its decision to 

debar.31 If the Bureau decides to debar you, 

its decision will become effective upon the 

earlier of your receipt of a debarment notice 

or publication of the decision in the Federal 

Register.32

If and when your debarment becomes 

effective, you will be prohibited from 

participating in activities associated with or 

related to the schools and libraries support 

mechanism for at least three years from the 

date of debarment.33 The Bureau may, if 

necessary to protect the public interest, 

extend the debarment period.34
