from fees and charges for the support or implementation of 988 
services, including the use of such collected fees and charges for any 
purpose other than for the support or implementation of 988 services. 
In addition, consistent with the definition of ``State'' set forth in 
47 U.S.C. 153(40) of the Communications Act, the Commission will
