SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a summary of the FCC’s Public Notice, DA 21–1422, released November 12, 2021. The full text of this Public Notice is available at https://docs.fcc.gov/public/ attachments/DA-21-1422A1.pdf. The full text of the Securus Petition is available at: https://ecfsapi.fcc.gov/file/ 10830227993038/Subscription%20Plan %20Waiver%20Petition.PDF. The Wireline Competition Bureau (Bureau) seeks comment on a petition filed by Securus Technologies, LLC asking the Commission to waive sections 64.6030, 64.6080, and 64.6090 of its rules, which require inmate calling services (ICS) calls to be charged to customers on a per-minute basis. According to the Petition, Securus began piloting subscription plans for intrastate calls in 2020 and now offers these plans at eight correctional facilities. Under these plans, ‘‘subscribers pay a flat monthly fee for up to 100 calls per month or 25 calls per week.’’ Securus asserts that its subscription plan pilot program is in jeopardy because it ‘‘cannot definitively determine if a call is intrastate when a subscription plan call is made’’ since many of the calls are ‘‘made to wireless phones whose exact physical location is difficult to determine.’’ Thus, Securus claims that it must ‘‘treat potentially instate but [jurisdictionally] indeterminate calls as interstate calls whose rates are limited to per-minute charges, jeopardizing the development and availability of flat-rate subscription plans for multiple calls.’’ Worth Rises filed a response to the Securus Petition. Worth Rises argues that ‘‘Securus has not provided sufficient data in its waiver request for the Commission to determine the true per-minute rate range offered through its subscription packages and whether they generally conform to the Commission’s rate caps.’’ Worth Rises identifies four principal concerns with Securus’s subscription plans as described in the Petition—call length and usage data, dropped calls, unused calls, and renewals. Worth Rises suggests that the Commission should also require VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:18 Dec 09, 2021 Jkt 256001 additional information from Securus before considering the waiver, including information on the policies related to the subscription programs and the ‘‘cost basis of the pilot subscription packages by pilot location.’’ Worth Rises requests that if the Commission grants the Petition, it should require Securus to base its subscription plans on minutes rather than calls, ‘‘limit Securus to selling packages of usage (e.g., 250 minutes) or time (e.g., unlimited monthly), but not both,’’ and ‘‘prevent automatic subscription renewals or require easily accessible termination options.’’ The Bureau seeks comment on the Securus Petition. The Bureau also seeks comment on the additional information and data Worth Rises suggests the Commission should require before considering the Securus waiver request. Additionally, the Bureau seeks comment on the concerns Worth Rises raises regarding the Securus pilot subscription programs, including concerns relating to call length and usage, dropped and unused calls, subscription renewals, and the methods used to share initial disclosures and other subscription plan policies with customers.

ACTION: Notice of withdrawal of proposed rule. AGENCY: DHS is withdrawing a proposed rule titled Privacy Training (HSAR Case 2015–003) and providing notice of its cancellation. The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking proposed to amend the HSAR to require contractor and subcontractor employees to complete Privacy training before accessing a Government system of records; handling Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and/or Sensitive Personally Identifiable Information; or designing, developing, maintaining, or operating a Government system of records.

Thus, DHS will not take any further action on this proposal. DATES: The proposed rule published on January 19, 2017 (82 FR 6425) and the comment period extended to March 20, 2017 (82 FR 14341), is withdrawn effective December 10, 2021. ADDRESSES: Mail: Department of Homeland Security, Office of the Chief Procurement Officer, Acquisition Policy and Legislation, ATTN: Candace Lightfoot, 245 Murray Drive, Bldg. 410 (RDS), Washington, DC 20528. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Candace Lightfoot, Procurement Analyst, DHS, Office of the Chief Procurement Officer, Acquisition Policy and Legislation at (202) 447–0882 or email HSAR@hq.dhs.gov. When using email, include HSAR Case 2015–003 in the ‘‘Subject’’ line. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 19, 2017, DHS published a proposed rule at 82 FR 6425 titled Privacy Training (HSAR Case 2015– 003). The rule proposed to amend the HSAR to require contractor and subcontractor employees to complete Privacy training before (1) accessing a Government system of records; (2) handling Personally Identifiable Information and/or Sensitive Personally Identifiable Information; or (3) designing, developing, maintaining, or operating a Government system of records. DHS received two public comments in response to this proposed rule. One commenter stated support for the requirements in the proposed rule. The other commenter: • Showed support for DHS making available on a public website a DHSdeveloped privacy training module that contractors can provide to their employees to achieve compliance with the proposed requirements. However, recommended that certain contractors may desire to develop their own internal Privacy Act training that would be compatible with DHS’s rules and their own corporate policies, procedures, and training; • Recommended that DHS add the Privacy Act’s definition of a ‘‘system of records’’ to increase understanding by both government and contractor personnel about when the clause and the training are required; • Recommended requiring flow down of HSAR 3052.224–7X only to subcontractors with a statement of work that triggers the training requirement; • Recommended that DHS further clarify the requirement to maintain training certificates and leverage PO 00000 Frm 00007 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 9990 70429 electronic recordkeeping when available; and • Recommended that DHS modify the proposed rule to clarify whether older training certificates must be maintained after submittal and, if so, recommends that DHS specifically identify the retention period. On December 20, 2016, DoD, GSA, and NASA 1 issued a final rule at 81 FR 93476 titled Privacy Training, which amended the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), effective on January 19, 2017. Upon further review, DHS believes that the FAR rule addressed issues raised by this commenter. DHS is withdrawing the proposed rule (82 FR 6425) and will not proceed with finalization of the rule because all of the requirements in the proposed rule are now covered under the final FAR rule (81 FR 93476) and resultant DHS FAR Class Deviation Number 17–03, Implementation of FAR 52.224–3 Privacy Training—Alternate I. The final FAR rule (81 FR 93476) provides guidance to contractors regarding the requirement to complete training that addresses the protection of privacy in accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, as amended, and the handling and safeguarding of PII. Under this rule, contractors are responsible for ensuring that initial privacy training, and annual privacy training thereafter, is completed by contractor employees who have access to a system of records; create, collect, use, process, store, maintain, disseminate, disclose, dispose, or otherwise handle personally identifiable information; or design, develop, maintain, or operate a system of records. A contractor who has employees involved in these activities is also required to maintain records indicating that its employees have completed the requisite training and provide these records to the contracting officer upon request. In addition, the prime contractor is required to flow-down these requirements to all applicable subcontracts. As a result of the FAR change and DHS FAR Class Deviation Number 17–03, the rationale for the proposed rule no longer exists and this proposal is withdrawn. Dated: December 7, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a summary of the FCC's Public 
Notice, DA 21-1422, released November 12, 2021. The full text of this 
Public Notice is available at https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DA-21-1422A1.pdf. The full text of the Securus Petition is available 
at: https://ecfsapi.fcc.gov/file/10830227993038/Subscription%20Plan%20Waiver%20Petition.PDF.
    The Wireline Competition Bureau (Bureau) seeks comment on a 
petition filed by Securus Technologies, LLC asking the Commission to 
waive sections 64.6030, 64.6080, and 64.6090 of its rules, which 
require inmate calling services (ICS) calls to be charged to customers 
on a per-minute basis.
    According to the Petition, Securus began piloting subscription 
plans for intrastate calls in 2020 and now offers these plans at eight 
correctional facilities. Under these plans, ``subscribers pay a flat 
monthly fee for up to 100 calls per month or 25 calls per week.'' 
Securus asserts that its subscription plan pilot program is in jeopardy 
because it ``cannot definitively determine if a call is intrastate when 
a subscription plan call is made'' since many of the calls are ``made 
to wireless phones whose exact physical location is difficult to 
determine.'' Thus, Securus claims that it must ``treat potentially in-
state but [jurisdictionally] indeterminate calls as interstate calls 
whose rates are limited to per-minute charges, jeopardizing the 
development and availability of flat-rate subscription plans for 
multiple calls.''
    Worth Rises filed a response to the Securus Petition. Worth Rises 
argues that ``Securus has not provided sufficient data in its waiver 
request for the Commission to determine the true per-minute rate range 
offered through its subscription packages and whether they generally 
conform to the Commission's rate caps.'' Worth Rises identifies four 
principal concerns with Securus's subscription plans as described in 
the Petition--call length and usage data, dropped calls, unused calls, 
and renewals. Worth Rises suggests that the Commission should also 
require additional information from Securus before considering the 
waiver, including information on the policies related to the 
subscription programs and the ``cost basis of the pilot subscription 
packages by pilot location.'' Worth Rises requests that if the 
Commission grants the Petition, it should require Securus to base its 
subscription plans on minutes rather than calls, ``limit Securus to 
selling packages of usage (e.g., 250 minutes) or time (e.g., unlimited 
monthly), but not both,'' and ``prevent automatic subscription renewals 
or require easily accessible termination options.''
    The Bureau seeks comment on the Securus Petition. The Bureau also 
seeks comment on the additional information and data Worth Rises 
suggests the Commission should require before considering the Securus 
waiver request. Additionally, the Bureau seeks comment on the concerns 
Worth Rises raises regarding the Securus pilot subscription programs, 
including concerns relating to call length and usage, dropped and 
unused calls, subscription renewals, and the methods used to share 
initial disclosures and other subscription plan policies with 
customers.
