The OMB Control Number is 3060–
1222.
The foregoing notification is required
by the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, Public Law 104–13, October 1,
1995, and 44 U.S.C. 3507.
The total data collection burdens and

authority for this information collection
is contained in sections 1, 4(i)–(j),

617 of the Communications Act of 1934,

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No
Impact(s).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
The Protective Order in the
Commission’s ICS proceeding, WC
Docket 12–375, 28 FCC Rcd 16954
(WCB 2013), provides confidential
treatment for the proprietary
information submitted by ICS providers
in response to the Commission’s
directives. The Commission will treat as
presumptively confidential any
particular information identified as
confidential by the provider in
accordance with the Freedom of
Information Act and Commission rules.
Each confidential document should be
stamped and submitted to the
Secretary’s Office with an
accompanying cover letter, as specified
by the Protective Order.
Needs and Uses: Section 201 of the
Communications Act of 1934, as
amended (Act), 47 U.S.C 201, requires
that ICS providers’ interstate and
international rates and practices be just
and reasonable. Section 276 of the Act,
47 U.S.C. 276, requires that payphone
service providers (including ICS
providers), be fairly compensated for
completed calls.
In 2015, the Commission released the
Second Report and Order and Third
Notice of Further Proposed Rulemaking,
WC Docket No. 12–375, 30 FCC Rcd
12763, (2015 ICS Order), in which the
Commission required that ICS providers
file Annual Reports providing data and
other information on their ICS
operations, as well as Annual
Certifications that reported data are
complete and accurate and comply with
the Commission’s ICS rules. Pursuant to
the authority delegated it by the
Commission in the 2015 ICS Order, the
Bureau created a standardized reporting
template (FCC Form No. 2301(a)) and a
related certification of accuracy (FCC
Form No. 2301(b)), as well as
instructions to guide providers through
the reporting process. The instructions
explain the reporting and certification
requirements and reduce the burden of
the data collection. (ICS Annual

In 2021, the Commission released the
Third Report and Order, Order on
Reconsideration, and Fifth Further
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (2021
ICS Order), WC Docket No. 12–375, 36
FCC Rcd (2021), in which it revised its
rules by adopting, among other things,
lower interim rate caps for interstate
calls. The rules necessitated changes to
the Annual Reports in order to simplify
compliance with and reduce the burden
of the data collection. On December 15,
2021, the Bureau issued a Public Notice,
WC 12–375, DA 21–1583 (WCB
December 15, 2021), seeking comment
on its proposed revisions to the
instructions and annual reporting and
certification templates for the Annual
Reports. After considering the
comments and replies submitted in
response to the Public Notice, the
Bureau released the Annual Reports
Adoption Order on June 24, 2022,
revising the instructions, standardized
reporting template, and the certification
of accuracy. See https://www.fcc.gov/
document/wcb-announces-ics-annualreporting-and-certification-revisions.
The Order largely adopted the proposals
contained in the Public Notice, with
certain minor refinements and
reevaluations responsive to comments
and replies filed in response to the
Public Notice.
Under the Bureau’s Order, ICS
providers must continue to submit all
reports using the electronic template
provided by the Commission, and to
provide the data in a machine-readable,
manipulatable format. The reporting
requirements cover the general
categories proposed in the Public
Notice. These categories include the
submission of information on facilities
served; interstate, intrastate, and
international ICS rates; ancillary service
charges; site commissions; and
disability access, among other matters.
The Bureau adopted reporting
requirements for interstate,
international, and intrastate ICS rates as
proposed, with minor revisions.
Further, the Bureau adopted the
reporting requirements for ancillary
service charges assessed by ICS
providers as proposed, with certain
revisions. In addition, the Bureau
adopted the reporting requirements as
proposed concerning site commissions,
with minor revisions. The Bureau also
revised the instructions and reporting
template to match these revisions, and
to more precisely target the information
to be reported in connection with
providers’ disability access services.
