St. Gabriel seeks review of the SLD's denial of its application for discounted services under the schools and libraries universal service support mechanism. For the reasons set forth below, we deny the Letter of Appeal and affirm the SLD's denial of St. Gabriel's application.  Xu"4 2.` ` Under the schools and libraries universal service support mechanism, eligible  X^#4schools, libraries, and consortia that include eligible schools and libraries, may apply for"^#0*%%ZZ!"

Accordingly, by letter dated November 20, 1998, the SLD denied St. Gabriel's request for discounts for tariffed telecommunications services on the ground that St. Gabriel's FCC Form 470 was not posted on SLD's website for 28 days, in violation of the Commission's competitive bid requirement. St. Gabriel appealed the SLD's decision, claiming that its services were existing services that were not subject to competitive bidding and that SLD advised it to fill out its application as it  X 4did.  x7 yO' !c #X\  P6G;P#э Letters from John R.

Alfone, St. Gabriel School, dated April 21, 1999 (Administrator's Decision on Appeal). The SLD explained that St. Gabriel's request for tariffed telecommunications services was not posted on the web site for 28 days because St. Gabriel had checked Item 10 in Block 3 on FCC Form 470, which directs the applicant to check the  X4box if the applicant has an existing, binding contract.z( 7 yO'#X\  P6G;P#э Administrator's Decision on Appeal at 1. z The SLD further explained that tariffed telecommunications services are required to be posted to the SLD website for 28 days (per FCC Form 470 Instructions) in order for there to be an opportunity for service providers to bid on these services, and that the only exemption from the Commission's competitive bid requirement is for services that were the subject of an existing contract prior to January 30,  X41998.y 7 yO%'#X\  P6G;P#э Administrator's Decision on Appeal at 1.y "H 0*%%ZZ\"Ԍ X4ԙ 5.` ` In St. Gabriel's request for review of the SLD decision that is now before us, St. Gabriel claims that its funding requests were for services that "existed" at the time, and that the written instructions for completion of the forms were in conflict with the actual requirements. It claims that it received instructions and assurances from the SLD staff that its  X4forms were correctly completed. yO' !@ ԍ Letter to the Federal Communications Commission from John R. Alfone, Ed.D., St. Gabriel School, dated May 19, 1999 (St. Gabriel Letter of Appeal). For the reasons set forth below, we conclude that the SLD properly denied St. Gabriel's application for discounts for tariffed telecommunications services.  XH46.` ` Having reviewed St. Gabriel's FCC Form 470 and FCC Form 471, we have confirmed that St. Gabriel's FCC Form 471 indicates in Item 16 that it would receive the telecommunications services for which it sought universal service support pursuant to a tariff, not an existing contract. We also have confirmed that St. Gabriel nevertheless did check Item 10 in Block 3 of FCC Form 470 indicating that it had "preexisting contracts," and therefore, consistent with the Commission's rules, the SLD did not post St. Gabriel's FCC Form 470 on its website. Because St. Gabriel indicated that service would be received pursuant to "preexisting contracts" by checking Item 10 in Block 3, the lack of posting and competitive bidding was due to St. Gabriel's own error and thus disqualified it from receiving approval.  Xb47.` ` While it is unfortunate that St. Gabriel understood  O'Ub the  O'Ub SLD staff to provide  XK4verbal assurances that its FCC Form 470 was "correct for its services,"f K  yO'ԍ St. Gabriel Letter of Appeal to FCC, May 19, 1999, para. 2.f this is not a basis for  X44us to grant relief that would be contrary to our rules., $4 {O' ! ԍ  See Applications of Mary Ann Salvatoriello, 6 FCC Rcd 4705 (1991), citing Office of Personnel Management  {O_' ! v. Richmond, 496 U.S. 414 (Erroneous advice from a government employee has never been found to create estoppel  !! against the Federal Government, particularly when the relief requested would be contrary to an applicable statute or rule. Persons relying on informal advice given by Commission staff do so at their own risk.), Both the separate written instructions  X4for Item (10)   yOj'ԍ The instructions for Item 10 of FCC Form 470 state:      Check this box if you are only seeking discounts for eligible services that are the subject of an  yO' existing, binding contract, and fill in the date that the contract was signed and its termination date. If you are purchasing telephone service at tariffed rates and have not signed a binding contract, you cannot treat this arrangement as an existing contract. While all forms of telecommunications services, including local and long distance services, are eligible for universal service discounts, you MUST seek competitive bids from providers. That is, if you do not have an existing, binding contract for telephone services, you must include a description of the services you seek in Item 12 to give every service provider the opportunity to offer you"r$ 0*%%_$" services under contract. (emphasis in original)     and bold face words of instruction on Item (10) of the FCC Form 470 itself"  0*%%ZZ" clearly state that the box should be checked only if the applicant seeks discounts for eligible  X4services based on one or more " existing, b inding contract(s)."`  yO'ԍ FCC Form 470, Block 3, Item 10 (emphasis in original).`  X47.` ` Only applicants with existing contracts, as defined in section 54.511(c) of the  X4Commission's rules,F  yO 'ԍ 47 C.F.R.  54.511(c)(1).F are exempt from the Commission's competitive bid requirement. Because tariffs do not constitute "preexisting contracts," and St. Gabriel has provided no evidence of any preexisting contract, we find that the SLD properly denied St. Gabriel's funding request for failure to comply with the 28day competitive bid requirement.  X148.` ` ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to authority delegated under sections 0.91, 0.291, and 54.722(a) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R.  0.91. 0.291, and 54.722(a), that the appeal filed by St. Gabriel School, Milford, Connecticut on May 19, 1999 IS DENIED. ` `  ,hh]FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION ` `  ,hh]Lisa M.
