Abstract
In this document, we reconsider the current organizational structure for administering the universal service support mechanisms and adopt a plan for merging the Schools and Libraries Corporation (SLC) and the Rural Health Care Corporation (RHCC) into the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) by January 1, 1999. We substantially adopt the Report and Proposed Plan of Reorganization (the Plan) filed with the Commission by USAC, SLC, and RHCC on July 1, 1998, with certain modifications. We also adopt specific procedures under which administrative decisions made by USAC will be reviewable by the Commission.
