    Form Number: FCC Form 2300.
    Type of Review: New collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 15 respondents; 15 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 100 hours.
    Frequency of Response: One-time reporting requirement.
    Obligation To Respond: Mandatory. Statutory authority for this 
information collection is contained in 47 U.S.C. 1, 4(i), 4(j), 201, 
276, and 303(r) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 
U.S.C. 151, 154(i)-(j), 201, 276 and 303(r).
    Total Annual Burden: 1,500 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: No cost.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: The Commission anticipates 
providing confidential treatment for proprietary information submitted 
by inmate calling service (ICS) providers. Parties that comply with the 
terms of a protective order for the proceeding will have an opportunity 
to comment on the data.
    Needs and Uses: Section 201 of the Communications Act of 1934 Act 
(Act), as amended, 47 U.S.C. 201, requires that ICS providers' 
interstate rates and practices be just and reasonable. Section 276 of 
the Act, 47 U.S.C. 276, requires that payphone service providers 
(including those, such as ICS providers, that serve correctional 
institutions) be fairly compensated. The Commission's Second Report and 
Order and Third Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (FNPRM) requires 
that all ICS providers comply with a one-time mandatory data 
collection. ICS providers must submit data on the costs of providing--
and the demand for--interstate, international, and intrastate ICS. The 
data collection requires ICS providers to submit data on ICS calls, 
various ICS costs, company and contract information, information about 
facilities served, ICS revenues, ancillary fees, and mandatory taxes 
and fees. ICS providers are also required to apportion direct costs for 
each cost category and to explain how joint and common costs are 
apportioned among the facilities they serve and the services they 
provide. The data will be used to enable the Commission to assess the 
costs related to ICS and ensure that ICS rates and fees related to ICS 
rates remain just, reasonable, and fair, as required by sections 201 
and 276 of the Act.
    The Commission's Wireline Bureau staff will develop a standardized 
template for the submission of data and provide instructions to 
simplify compliance with and reduce the burdens of the data collection. 
The template will also include filing instructions and text fields for 
respondents to use to explain portions of their filings, as needed. See 
FCC Form 2300. Providers are encouraged to file their data 
electronically via the Commission's Electronic Comment Filing System 
(ECFS).

requirements; third party disclosure requirement.
    Obligation To Respond: Mandatory. Statutory authority for this 
information collection is contained in 47 U.S.C. 1, 4(i), 4(j), 201, 
225, 276, and 303(r) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 
U.S.C. 151, 154(i)-(j), 201, 225, 276 and 303(r).
    Total Annual Burden: 1,200 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: No cost.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: The Commission anticipates 
providing confidential treatment for proprietary information submitted 
by providers of inmate calling services (ICS). Parties that comply with 
the terms of a protective order for the proceeding will have an 
opportunity to comment on the data.
    Needs and Uses: Section 201 of the Communications Act of 1934 Act 
(Act), as amended, 47 U.S.C. 201, requires that ICS providers' rates 
and practices be just and reasonable. Section 276 of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 
276, requires that payphone service providers (including those that 
serve correctional institutions such as ICS providers) be fairly 
compensated. The Commission's Second Report and Order and Third Further 
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (Second Report and Order), WC Docket No., 
FCC 15-136, requires that ICS providers file annual reports with the 
Commission, including certifications that the reported data are 
complete and accurate. The annual reporting and certification rules

ICS rates and minutes of use by facility and size of facility; current 
ancillary service charge amounts and the instances of use of each; and 
the monthly amount of any site commission payments. The Commission also 
requires an officer of each ICS provider annually to certify the 
accuracy of the data submitted and the provider's compliance with the 
Second Report and Order. The consumer disclosure rule requires ICS 
providers to inform customers of their rates and charges. The data will 
assist the Commission in, among other things, ensuring compliance with 
the Second Report and Order and monitoring the effectiveness of the ICS 
reforms adopted therein. The data will be used to enable the Commission 
to assess the costs related to ICS and ensure that ICS rates and 
ancillary service charges related to ICS rates remain just, reasonable, 
and fair, as required by sections 201 and 276 of the Act.
    The Commission's Wireline Bureau staff will develop a standardized 
template for the submission of data and provide instructions to 
simplify compliance with and reduce the burdens of the data collection. 
The template will also include filing instructions and text fields for 
respondents to use to explain portions of their filings, as needed. See 
FCC Form 2301. Providers are encouraged to file their data 
electronically via the Commission's Electronic Comment Filing System 
(ECFS).
