3300 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 14 / Friday, January 21, 2022 / Notices 

Commission will treat as presumptively 

confidential any particular information 

identified as confidential by the 

provider in accordance with the 

Freedom of Information Act and 

Commission rules. Each confidential 

document should be stamped and 

submitted to the Secretary’s Office with 

an accompanying cover letter, as 

specified by the Protective Order. 

Needs and Uses: In the 2021 ICS 

Order, WC Docket No. 12–375, FCC 21– 

60, 86 FR 40682, the Commission 

continued its reform of the ICS industry 

by, among other things, directing the 

Commission’s Wireline Competition 

Bureau (WCB) and Office of Economics 

and Analytics (OEA) (collectively, 

WCB/OEA) to collect data and other 

information regarding ICS providers’ 

operations, costs, demands, and 

revenues. The Commission explained 

that it would use this Third Mandatory 

Data Collection to set permanent 

interstate and international ICS 

provider-related rate caps that more 

closely reflect providers’ costs of serving 

correctional facilities. The Commission 

also emphasized that those data would 

enable it to evaluate and, if warranted, 

revise the current ancillary service 

charge caps. 

The Commission delegated authority 

to WCB/OEA to implement the Third 

Mandatory Data Collection—including 

determining and describing the types of 

information to require providers to 

submit regarding their operations, costs, 

demand, and revenues—and directed 

WCB/OEA to develop a template and 

instructions for the collection. 

Pursuant to their delegated authority, 

WCB/OEA drafted proposed 

instructions, a template, and a 

certification form for the Third 

Mandatory Data Collection. See Third 

Mandatory Data Collection Proposed 

Instructions, available for download at 

http://www.fcc.gov/sites/default/files/ 

third_mandatory_data_collection_

instructions.docx. Under WCB/OEA’s 

proposals, ICS providers would be 

required to submit the required data 

using a reporting template, to be filed 

through the Commission’s electronic 

comment filing system (ECFS). The 

proposed template consists of a Word 

document (Appendix A to the 

instructions) for responses requiring 

narrative information and Excel 

spreadsheets (Appendix B to the 

instructions) for responses that require 

specific numbers or information. ICS 

providers must also submit an audited 

financial statement or report for each 

Year from 2019 through 2021, and a 

signed certification of truthfulness, 

accuracy, and completeness. The 

instructions, template, and certification 

form will simplify compliance with, and 

reduce the burden of, this data 

collection. 

On September 22, 2021, WCB/OEA 

released the Third Mandatory Data 

Collection (MDC) Public Notice (DA 21– 

1192, WC Docket No. 12–375 (WCB/ 

OEA Sept. 22. 2021)), seeking comment 

on all aspects of the proposed 

collection, including the draft 

instructions, template, and certification 

form. The MDC Public Notice was 

published in the Federal Register 

contemporaneously with the 60-Day 

Notice for this information collection. 

See 86 FR 54897 (2021). WCB/OEA 

stated that it would consider comments 

submitted in response to the 60-Day 

Notice and the MDC Public Notice in 

finalizing this information collection 

prior to submitting the documents to the 

Office of Management and Budget. 

After considering the comments and 

reply comments filed in response to the 

MDC Public Notice and the 60-Day 

Notice, WCB/OEA released an Order on 

January 18, 2022 adopting the Third 

Mandatory Data Collection, and issuing 

the related instructions, template, and 

certification form. See Third Mandatory 

Data Collection Adoption Order, (DA 

22–52, WC Docket No. 12–375 (WCB/ 

OEA Jan. 18, 2022)), available at https:// 

www.fcc.gov/document/wcb-and-oeaadopt-inmate-calling-services-datacollection. This Order implemented 

WCB/OEA’s proposals, with 

refinements responding to suggestions 

offered by the commenters. Under WCB/ 

OEA’s Order, ICS providers will be 

required to submit the required data 

using a reporting template to be filed 

through the Commission’s electronic 

filing system (ECFS) in accordance with 

instructions adopted by WCB/OEA. See 

Third Mandatory Data Collection 

Instructions, available for download at: 

Third Mandatory Data Collection 

Instructions. The template consists of a 

Word document (Appendix A to the 

instructions) for responses requiring 

narrative information and Excel 

spreadsheets (Appendix B to the 

instructions) (collectively, FCC Form 

2302(a)) for responses that require 

specific numbers for information. The 

template must be submitted in a 

machine-readable and manipulatable 

format and may not be converted to a 

different format, such as a PDF. WCB/ 

OEA also adopted the requirement that 

a senior executive of each provider 

certify as to the truthfulness, accuracy, 

and completeness of the provider’s 

response to the data collection (FCC 

Form 2302(b)). In addition, WCB/OEA 

adopted its proposal to require all 

providers to submit audited financial 

statements or reports, or similar 

documentation, for the reporting period, 

to the extent they have been produced 

in the ordinary course of business. 

Providers must submit these reports for 

each year of the reporting period or 

certify that they have not produced such 

reports in the ordinary course of 

business. These documents will be 

submitted for approval by the Office of 

Management and Budget as FCC Form 

2302(a) and FCC Form 2302(b).
