Adopted:  April 13, 2000                Released: April 14, 2000

By the Common Carrier Bureau:

1.     The Common Carrier Bureau (Bureau) has under consideration the above-captioned
requests for review of decisions issued by the Schools and Libraries Division of the Universal
Service Administrative Company (Administrator).  These requests seek review of the
Administrator's denial of applications for discounted services under the universal service support
mechanism for schools and libraries.
2.     The Commission's rules provide that the Bureau must issue a decision resolving a
request for review of matters properly before it within ninety days.   If the Bureau does not take
action within ninety days, the decision issued by the Administrator shall be deemed approved
unless the Bureau extends the time period for considering the request for review.  Due to the
complexity of the issues raised in the above-captioned requests for review, the Bureau requires
additional time to review the issues presented.  Accordingly, we extend by sixty days the
deadline by which the Bureau must take action regarding the above-captioned requests for review
of decisions by the Schools and Libraries Division.  
3.     Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to section 54.724(a) of the Commission's
rules, 47 C.F.R.  54.724(a), that the time period for taking action in the above-captioned
requests for review of decisions by the Schools and Libraries Division IS EXTENDED BY sixty
days from the original ninety-day deadline, to June 12, 2000, for the request for review filed by
Laurel Hall School, and until June 16, 2000, for the request for review filed by Los Angeles
Unified School District.
