 ORDER 
 Adopted:  August  14,  2000  Released:  August  15,  2000 
 By  the  Accounting  Policy  Division,  Common  Carrier  Bureau: 
 1.  The  Accounting  Policy  Division  (Division)  has  under  consideration  a  Letter  of 
 Appeal  filed  on  November  12,  1999,  by  Orleans/  Niagara  Board  of  Cooperative  Educational 
 Services  (Orleans/  Niagara),  Medina,  New  York,  requesting  review  of  funding  commitment 
 decisions  by  the  Schools  and  Libraries  Division  (SLD)  of  the  Universal  Service  Administrative 
 Company.  1  On  March  9,  2000,  in  order  to  clarify  its  earlier  decisions  regarding  Orleans/  Niagara’s 
 application,  SLD  issued  a  revised  Funding  Commitment  Decision  Letter  that  granted 
 Orleans/  Niagara’s  funding  requests  at  its  requested  discount  level.  2  Because  the  Division  finds 
 that  the  errors  asserted  by  Orleans/  Niagara  in  its  Letter  of  Appeal  have  been  corrected  by  SLD, 
 the  Division  dismisses  Orleans/  Niagara’s  Letter  of  Appeal  as  moot. 


 1  Letter  from  Clark  J.  Godshall,  Orleans/  Niagara  Board  of  Cooperative  Educational  Services,  to  the  Federal 
 Communications  Commission,  filed  November  12,  1999  (Letter  of  Appeal).
