Background
A.
What
Action
is
the
Agency
Taking?

EPA
is
making
available
risk
assessments
that
have
been
developed
as
part
of
the
Agency's
public
participation
process
for
making
reregistration
eligibility
and
tolerance
reassessment
decisions
for
the
organophosphate
and
other
pesticides
consistent
with
FFDCA,
as
amended
by
FQPA.
The
Agency's
human
health
risk
assessment
and
other
related
documents
for
oryzalin
are
available
in
the
individual
pesticide
docket.
As
additional
comments,
reviews,
and
risk
assessment
modifications
become
available,
these
will
also
be
docketed
for
oryzalin.
The
Agency
cautions
that
the
oryzalin
risk
assessment
is
preliminary
and
that
further
refinements
may
be
appropriate.
These
documents
reflect
only
the
work
and
analysis
conducted
as
of
the
time
they
were
produced
and
it
is
appropriate
that,
as
new
information
becomes
available
and/
or
additional
analyses
are
performed,
the
conclusions
they
contain
may
change.
EPA
is
providing
an
opportunity,
through
this
notice,
for
interested
parties
to
provide
written
comments
and
input
to
the
Agency
on
the
risk
assessment
for
the
pesticide
specified
in
this
notice.
Such
comments
and
input
could
address,
for
example,
the
availability
of
additional
data
to
further
refine
the
risk
assessment,
such
as
percent
crop
treated
information
or
submission
of
residue
data
from
food
processing
studies,
or
could
address
the
Agency's
risk
assessment
methodologies
and
assumptions
as
applied
to
this
specific
chemical.
Comments
should
be
limited
to
issues
raised
within
the
risk
assessment
and
associated
documents.
EPA
will
provide
other
opportunities
for
public
comment
on
other
science
issues
associated
with
the
pesticide
tolerance
reassessment
program.
Failure
to
comment
on
any
such
issues
as
part
of
this
opportunity
will
in
no
way
prejudice
or
limit
a
commenter's
opportunity
to
participate
fully
in
later
notice
and
comment
processes.
All
comments
should
be
submitted
by
[
insert
date
60
days
after
date
of
publication
in
theFederal
Register]
using
the
methods
in
Unit
I.
of
the
SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION.
Comments
will
become
part
of
the
Agency
record
for
oryzalin.

Electronically.
If
you
submit
an
electronic
comment
as
prescribed
in
this
unit,
EPA
recommends
that
you
include
your
name,
mailing
address,
and
an
email
address
or
other
contact
information
in
the
body
of
your

Also
include
this

the
outside
of
any
disk
or
CD
ROM
you
submit,
and
in
any
cover
letter
accompanying
the
disk
or
CD
ROM.
This
ensures
that
you
can
be
identified
as
the
submitter
of
the
comment
and
allows
EPA
to
contact
you
in
case
EPA
cannot
read
your
comment
due
to
technical
difficulties
or
needs
further
information
on
the
substance
of
your

EPA's
policy
is
that
EPA
will
not
edit
your
comment,
and
any
identifying
or
contact
information
provided
in
the
body
of
a
comment
will
be
included
as
part
of
the
comment
that

for
a
TME
and
to
publish
periodic
status
reports
on
the
chemicals
under
review
and
the
receipt
of
notices
of
commencement
to
manufacture
those
chemicals.
This
status
report,
which
covers
the
period
from
December
1,
2003
to
December
24,
2003,
consists
of
the
PMNs
pending
or
expired,
and
the
notices
of
commencement

I.
Introduction
1.
In
this
Order,
before
the
Commission
is
a
Request
for
Review
by
the
Ysleta
Independent
School
District
(
Ysleta),
El
Paso,
Texas,
and
similar
Requests
for
Review
filed
by
seven
other
schools.
International
Business
Machines,
Inc.
(
IBM)
also
files
a
Request
for
Review
in
most
of
the
appeals.
The
schools
and
IBM
seek
review
of
decisions
of
the
Schools
and
Libraries
Division
(
SLD)
of
the
Universal
Service
Administrative
Company
(
Administrator),
denying
$
250,977,707.08
in
schools
and
libraries
universal
service
support
mechanism
discounts
to
the
schools
for
Funding
Year
2002.
Because
each
appeal
raises
very
similar
issues,
we
consolidate
our
review
here.
We
affirm
SLD's
decisions
and
deny
the
Requests
for
Review.
Under
the
terms,
however,
we
waive
the
filing
window
for
Funding
Year
2002
to
permit
the
above­
captioned
schools
to
resubmit
requests
for
eligible
products
and
services
for
Funding
Year
2002
under
the
terms.
2.
The
Commission
is
deeply
concerned
about
a
number
of
practices
that
undermine
the
framework
of
the
competitive
bidding
process
established
by
the
Commission's
Universal
Service
Order,
62
FR
32862
(
June
17,
1997).
If
allowed
to
persist,
the
practices
that
we
address
in
this
Order
could
suppress
fair
and
open
competitive
bidding,
and
ultimately
thwart
the
goal
of
effective,
efficient,
and
equitable
distribution
of
universal
service
support
to
eligible
schools
and
libraries.
The
Commission
has
directed
program
applicants
to
take
full
advantage
of
the
competitive
market
to
obtain
cost­
effective
services
and
to
minimize
waste,
fraud,
and
abuse.
Reliance
on
competitive
markets
also
assures
that
program
funds
can
be
distributed
as
widely
and
as
equitably
as
possible
among
the
applicants.
To
enhance
competitive­
market
processes,
the
Commission
has
developed
a
process
in
which
applicants
first
develop
detailed
technology
plans
that
describe
their
technology
needs
and
goals
in
a
manner
consistent
with
their
educational
or
informational
objectives.
Having
determined
the
services
for
which
they
would
seek
E­
rate
discounts,
applicants
would
then
submit
for
posting
on
the
Administrator's
website
an
FCC
Form
470,
listing
the
desired
services,
consistent
with
the
technology
plan,
with
sufficient
specificity
to
enable
potential
bidders
to
submit
bids
for
E­
rate
eligible
services.
Applicants
could
indicate
on
the
FCC
Form
470
if
they
also
had
a
Request
for
Proposal
(
RFP)
providing
additional
detail
on
the
services
sought.
Once
an
applicant
received
bids
with
specific
prices
quoted
for
eligible
services,
it
would
select
the
most
cost­
effective
services,
with
price
as
the
primary
factor.
Where
consistent
with
these
practices,
applicants
would
rely
on
state
and
local
procurement
processes.
This
is
the
foundation
upon
which
the
Commission's
rules
and
orders
are
based.
3.
The
procurement
processes
presented
in
the
instant
Requests
for
Review
thwart
the
Commission's
competitive
bidding
policies.
The
factual
scenarios
of
the
different
applicants
vary
to
some
degree,
but
all
present
troubling
conduct
or
outcomes
that
are
inconsistent
with
the
competitive
bidding
procedures
required
by
our
rules
and
orders.
Most
of
the
above­
captioned
applicants
