By the Common Carrier Bureau:

     1.   This Order dismisses the Request for Review of the Grand Isle Supervisory Union
dated June 25, 1999, but received by the Commission on June 29, 1999, which seeks review of
the Administrator's Decision on Appeal, dated May 25, 1999.  Under section 54.720 of the
Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R.  54.720, any such appeal must be filed within 30 days of the
issuance of the decision as to which review is sought.  Documents are considered to be filed with
the Commission only upon receipt.  47 C.F.R.  1.7.  Because the instant Request for Review was
not filed within the specified 30-day period, it will be dismissed without further consideration.    

     2.   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 Request for Review filed June 29, 1999 by the Grand Isle Supervisory Union
