offers to transfer to the United States the lands identified in 
paragraph (2) in exchange for the lands identified in paragraph (4), 
selected from the area described in section 3(b)(1), the Secretary of 
the Interior (in this Act referred to as the ``Secretary'') shall 
complete such exchange no later than 6 months after the issuance of a 
license to Gustavus Electric Company by the Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission (in this Act referred to as ``FERC''), in accordance with 
this Act. This land exchange shall be subject to the laws applicable to 
exchanges involving lands managed by the Secretary as part of the 
National Park System in Alaska and the appropriate process for the 
exchange of State lands required by State law.
    (2) The lands to be conveyed to the United States by the State of 
Alaska shall be determined by mutual agreement of the Secretary and the 
State of Alaska. Lands that will be considered for conveyance to the 
United States pursuant to the process required by State law are lands 
owned by the State of Alaska in the Long Lake area within Wrangell-St. 
Elias National Park and Preserve, or other lands owned by the State of 
Alaska.
    (3) If the Secretary and the State of Alaska have not agreed on 
which lands the State of Alaska will convey by a date not later than 6 
months after a license is issued pursuant to this Act, the United 
States shall accept, within 1 year after a license is issued, title to 
land having a sufficiently equal value to satisfy State and Federal 
law, subject to clear title and valid existing rights, and absence of 
environmental contamination, and as provided by the laws applicable to 
exchanges involving lands managed by the Secretary as part of the 
National Park System in Alaska and the appropriate process for the 
exchange of State lands required by State law. Such land shall be

Q: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Family Telephone Connection 
Protection Act of 2005''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds that:
            (1) The telephone is the primary method by which 
        individuals correspond and maintain contact with family members 
        who are incarcerated in correctional institutions.
            (2) Except for emergency purposes, family members are not 
        allowed to call people incarcerated in correctional 
        institutions; incarcerated persons are typically allowed to 
        call family members and other pre-approved individuals only 
        through payphones physically located on the premises of 
        correctional institutions.
            (3) Inmate telephone service in correctional institutions 
        often is limited to collect calling.
            (4) Regardless of whether the prisoners' calls are placed 
        collect or through a debit account, the prisoners' family 
        members typically pay for the calls, either through their 
        telephone bills, in the case of collect calls received from 
        prisoners, or by making deposits directly into prisoners' debit 
        accounts.
            (5) Innocent citizens are paying excessive telephone 
        charges simply due to having a family member or loved one who 
        is incarcerated.
            (6) The rates for calls from correctional institutions are 
        some of the highest rates in the United States, with some per-
        minute charges reaching $1 and service or connection charges of 
        $3.95 per call.
            (7) Information compiled by the Congress and the Federal 
        Communications Commission shows that the high rates are due in 
        part to the lack of competition between telephone companies 
        that provide long distance inmate telephone service to 
        correctional institutions.
            (8) There are no competitive forces providing incentives 
        for those carriers to lower prices or operate efficiently 
        because, unlike the mass market, only one carrier is typically 
        permitted to provide long distance inmate telephone service 
        within each correctional institution.
            (9) High calling rates also are due in part to commissions 
        that carriers pay to correctional institution administrators 
        for the exclusive right to provide long distance inmate 
        telephone service in a correctional facility. In some cases, 
        such commissions account for 50 percent or more of the total 
        charges.
            (10) The collection of such commissions by correctional 
        institution administrators and state departments of correction 
        based upon interstate telecommunications revenues is a burden 
        on interstate commerce.
            (11) Due to the lack of competition for telephone services 
        within correctional institutions, families of people in prison, 
        many of whom have low incomes, cannot choose the long distance 
        carrier with the lowest calling rates and must pay the 
        excessive rates charged by the carrier having the exclusive 
        right to provide long distance service to the correctional 
        institution from which the call originates.
            (12) It is the policy of the United States to ensure that 
        all Americans are afforded just and reasonable communications 
        services, including those families that pay rates for inmate 
        telephone service.
            (13) It is clear from various studies that maintaining 
        frequent and meaningful communications between people who are 
        incarcerated and family members is key to the successful social 
        reintegration of formerly incarcerated individuals. Such 
        contact reduces recidivism and facilitates rehabilitation, 
        which in turn reduces crime and the future costs of 
        imprisonment.
            (14) Frequent communications between incarcerated persons 
        and family members is burdened, and in some cases, prevented, 
        by excessive inmate telephone service rates. Excessive inmate 
        telephone service rates thus weaken the family and community 
        ties that are necessary for successful reentry into society by 
        persons who were formerly incarcerated and the reduction in 
        crime resulting from successful reentry.
            (15) The Commission has the expertise and authority to 
        regulate inmate telephone service. Because parties to 
        Commission rulemaking proceedings have raised issues regarding 
        its authority to implement meaningful relief for excessive 
        inmate telephone service rates, Congress finds it necessary and 
        appropriate to reaffirm that the Commission has the authority 
        to implement the types of relief set forth in this Act.

SEC. 3. RESTRICTIONS ON THE PROVISION OF INMATE TELEPHONE SERVICE.

    (a) Definitions.--Section 226(a) of the Communications Act of 1934

            (2) inserting after subsection (h) the following new 
        subsections:
    ``(i) Regulation of Inmate Telephone Service.--
            ``(1) Rates.--In order to ensure that charges for inmate 
        telephone service are just, reasonable, and nondiscriminatory, 
        the Commission shall consider, either in a rulemaking 
        proceeding that is pending as of the date of enactment of the 
        Family Telephone Connection Protection Act of 2005 or in a new 
        rulemaking proceeding, the following types of regulation of 
        inmate telephone service, all of which are within the 
        Commission's jurisdiction and authority:
                    ``(A) prescribing a maximum uniform per-minute 
                compensation rate;
                    ``(B) prescribing a maximum uniform service 
                connection or other per-call compensation rate;
                    ``(C) prescribing variable maximum compensation 
                rates depending on such factors as carrier costs, the

                relevant factors identified by the Commission;
                    ``(D) requiring providers of inmate telephone 
                service to offer both collect calling and debit account 
                services;
                    ``(E) prohibiting the payment of commissions by 
                providers of inmate telephone service to administrators 
                of correctional institutions, departments of 
                correction, and similar entities; and
                    ``(F) requiring administrators of correctional 
                institutions, departments of correction, and similar 
                entities to allow more than one provider of inmate 
                telephone service to provide interstate inmate 
                telephone service at a correctional institution in 
                order that prisoners have a choice of such providers.
            ``(2) Scope.--The regulations adopted by the Commission 
        shall be technologically neutral and shall not jeopardize 
        legitimate security and penelogical interests. To the extent 
        the Commission regulations reduce or eliminate the revenue 
        derived by administrators of correctional institutions, 
        departments of correction, and similar entities from the 
        receipt of commissions, such effects of Commission regulations 
        shall not be considered as jeopardizing or otherwise affecting 
        legitimate security or penelogical interests.
            ``(3) Deadlines and periodic review.--The Commission shall 
        prescribe regulations to implement the provisions of this 
        subsection within one year after the date of enactment of the 
        Family Telephone Connection Protection Act of 2005. The 
        Commission shall review, on a triennial basis, the regulations 
        promulgated under this subsection, including whether any 
        Commission-established compensation rates should be modified.
            ``(4) State preemption.--To the extent that any State 
        requirements are inconsistent with the Commission's regulations 
        affecting or pertaining to interstate inmate telephone service, 
        including restrictions on the payment of commissions based upon 
        interstate inmate telephone service revenues or earnings, the 
        Commission's regulations on such matters shall preempt such 
        State requirements.
    ``(j) Inmate Telephone Service Fully Subject to Sections 251 and 
252.--
            ``(1) Inmate telephone service is fully subject to the 
        requirements of sections 251 and 252 of this Act.
            ``(2) No provider of inmate telephone service may block or 
        otherwise refuse to carry a call placed by an incarcerated 
        person on the grounds that the provider has no contractual or 
        other arrangement with the local exchange carrier serving the 
        intended recipient of the call or other common carrier involved 
        in any portion of the transmission of the call.''.

A:
