solution will not be effective. The lack
of cooperation of even a single wireless
provider in a geographic area of a
correctional facility can result in
deployment of a system with
insufficient spectral coverage, subject to
abuse by inmates in possession of
contraband wireless devices operating
on frequencies not covered by a
spectrum lease agreement. While some
carriers have been cooperative, it is
imperative that all CMRS licensees be
required to engage in lease negotiations
in good faith and in a timely fashion.
Therefore, the Commission adopted a
rule requiring that CMRS licensees
negotiate in good faith with entities
seeking to deploy a CIS in a correctional
facility. If, after a 45 day period, there
is no agreement, CIS providers seeking
Special Temporary Authority (STA) to
operate in the absence of CMRS licensee
consent may file a request for STA with
the Wireless Telecommunications
Bureau (WTB), with a copy served at the
same time on the CMRS licensee,
accompanied by evidence
demonstrating its good faith, and the
unreasonableness of the CMRS
licensee’s actions, in negotiating an
agreement. The CMRS licensee may
then file a response with WTB, with a
copy served on the CIS provider at that
time, within 10 days of the filing of the
STA request.
The supplementary information
provided along with the STA
application by the CIS provider will be
used by WTB to determine whether the
CIS provider has negotiated in good
faith, yet the CMRS licensee has not
negotiated in good faith. The CMRS
licensee may use the evidence
accompanying the STA application to
craft a response. WTB will analyze the
evidence from the CIS providers and the
CMRS licensee’s response to determine
whether to issue STA to the entity
seeking to deploy the CIS.
The Commission explored whether it
should impose a requirement that the
community in the vicinity of a
correctional facility where a CIS is
installed be notified of the installation.
The Commission explained that a goal
of the proceeding is to expedite the
deployment of technological solutions
to combat the use of contraband
wireless devices, not to impose
unnecessary barriers to CIS deployment.
Consistent with that goal, the
Commission found that a flexible and
community-tailored notification
requirement for certain CISs outweighed
the minimal burden of notification and
furthered the public interest. After
careful consideration of the record, the
Commission imposed a rule that, 10

days prior to deploying a CIS that
prevents communications to or from
mobile devices, a lessee must notify the
community in which the correctional
facility is located, and the Commission
amended its spectrum leasing rules to
reflect this requirement. The
Commission agreed with commenters
that support notification of the
surrounding community due to the
potential for accidental call blocking
and the public safety issues involved.
The information provided in the
notification will put the houses and
businesses in the surrounding
community on notice that a CIS will be
deployed in the vicinity that has the
potential for accidental call blocking.
Acknowledging the importance of
ensuring the availability of emergency
911 calls from correctional facilities,
and the fact that delivering emergency
calls to public safety answering points
(PSAPs) facilitates public safety services
and generally serves the public interest,
the Commission amended its rules to
require that CIS providers regulated as
private mobile radio service (PMRS)
must route all 911 calls to the local
PSAP. That said, the Commission also
acknowledged the important role state
and local public safety officials play in
the administration of the 911 system.
Accordingly, although the CIS provider
is required to pass through emergency
911 calls, the PSAPs can inform the CIS
provider that they do not want to
receive calls from a given correctional
facility. By allowing the PSAPs to
decline the emergency 911 calls, the
Commission recognized the reported
increased volume of PSAP harassment
through repeated inmate fraudulent 911
calls. The information provided by the
PSAP or emergency authority will result
in the CIS provider not passing through
E911 calls from a particular correctional
facility.
