provider’s contact person(s) for 

communications outages at the facility 

of any outage that potentially affects 

that 988 special facility (as defined in 

§ 4.5(f)) in the following manner: 

(1) Appropriate contact information. 

To ensure prompt delivery of outage 

notifications to 988 special facilities, 

covered 988 service providers shall 

exercise special diligence to identify, 

maintain, and, on an annual basis, 

confirm current contact information 

appropriate for outage notification for 

each 988 special facility that serves 

areas that the service provider serves. 

(2) Content of notification. Covered 

988 service providers’ outage 

notifications must convey all available 

material information about the outage. 

For the purpose of this paragraph (i), 

‘‘material information’’ includes the 

following, where available: 

(i) An identifier unique to each 

outage; 

(ii) The name, telephone number, and 

email address at which the notifying 

988 service provider can be reached for 

follow up; 

(iii) The name of the covered 988 

service provider experiencing the 

outage; 

(iv) The date and time when the 

incident began (including a notation of 

the relevant time zone); 

(v) The types of communications 

service(s) affected; 

(vi) The geographic area affected by 

the outage; 

(vii) A statement of the notifying 

covered 988 service provider’s 

expectations for how the outage 

potentially affects the special facility 

(e.g., dropped calls or missing 

metadata); 

(viii) Expected date and time of 

restoration, including a notation of the 

relevant time zone; 

(ix) The best-known cause of the 

outage; and 

(x) A statement of whether the 

message is the notifying covered 988 

service provider’s initial notification to 

the special facility, an update to an 

initial notification, or a message 

intended to be the service provider’s 

final assessment of the outage. 

(3) Means of notification. Covered 988 

service providers’ outage notifications 

must be transmitted by telephone and in 

writing via electronic means in the 

absence of another method mutually 

agreed upon in writing in advance by 

the special facility and the service 

provider. 

(4) Timing of initial notification. 

Covered 988 service providers shall 

provide an outage notification to a 

potentially affected 988 special facility 

as soon as possible, but no later than 

within 30 minutes of discovering that 

they have experienced on any facilities 

that they own, operate, lease, or 

otherwise utilize, an outage that 

potentially affects a 988 special facility 

(as defined in § 4.5(f)). 

(5) Follow-up notification. Covered 

988 service providers shall 

communicate additional material 

information to potentially affected 988 

special facilities in notifications 

subsequent to the initial notification as 

soon as possible after that information 

becomes available, but providers shall 

send the first follow-up notification to 

potentially affected 988 special facilities 

no later than two hours after the initial 

contact. After that, covered 988 service 

providers are required to continue to 

provide material information to the 

special facilities as soon as possible 

after discovery of the new material 

information until the outage is 

completely repaired and service is fully 

restored.

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS 

COMMISSION 

47 CFR Part 64 

[WC Docket No. 12–375; FCC 22–76; FR 

ID 193391] 

Rates for Interstate Inmate Calling 

Services; Correction 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Final rule; announcement of 

effective date; correction and 

establishment of applicability. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Communications 

Commission (Commission) published a 

document in the Federal Register of 

January 3, 2024, announcing that the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) had approved, for a period of 

three years, an information collection 

associated with the Commission’s 2022 

ICS Order, FCC 22–76 (September 30, 

2022). The document incorrectly 

announced an effective date for an 

amendment published on December 9, 

2022, which triggered its codification 

into the CFR on December 21, 2023. 

This document establishes the 

applicability of OMB’s approval, 

published on January 3, 2024. 

DATES: As of January 16, 2024, the final 

rule announcing the effective date for 47 

CFR 64.6040(c), published January 3, 

2024, at 89 FR 269, is corrected to 

provide an applicability date of January 

16, 2024. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

William Kehoe, Pricing Policy Division, 

at (202) 418–7122, or email: 

William.Kehoe@fcc.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

December 9, 2022, at 87 FR 75496, the 

Commission published a final rule 

amending 47 CFR 64.6040, effective 

January 9, 2023, by adding paragraph 

(c). The addition of paragraph (c) to 

§ 64.6040 (amendatory instruction 11) 

was delayed indefinitely. 

On December 21, 2023, at 88 FR 

88257, the Commission announced the 

effective date of December 21, 2023 

(with an implied applicability date of 

December 21, 2023), for § 64.6040(c) and 

other amendments in the December 

2022 rule. That effective date for 

§ 64.6040(c) in the December 21, 2023 

document was established in error, but 

that error went undetected until the 

publication of the second effective date 

announcement on January 3, 2024, 

which contained a second incorrect 

effective date (with implied 

applicability date) of January 9, 2023. 

Therefore, the announcement of 

effective date, published January 3, 

2024, at 89 FR 269, is corrected as 

follows: 

Correction 

In FR Doc. 2023–28765, published in 

the Federal Register of January 3, 2024 

(89 FR 269), on page 269, in the second 

column, correct the DATES section to 

read: 

DATES: As of December 21, 2023, the 

applicability of 47 CFR 64.6040(c) is 

delayed until January 16, 2024.
