Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 219 / Tuesday, November 15, 2022 / Proposed Rules
lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with PROPOSALS1
that all inmate calling services providers
to make the same required disclosures
of information available to all
consumers, regardless of whether they
receive an actual bill from a provider.
The Commission invites comment on
whether to allow inmate calling services
providers to supplement traditional perminute pricing and develop optional
pilot programs that offer consumers the
ability to purchase inmate calling
services under alternative pricing
structures. The Commission invites
comment on whether it should
authorize such programs subject to
certain specified conditions, including
conditions protecting against
unreasonably high charges for interstate
and international calling services. The
Commission seeks comment on whether
it should expand its definitions of ‘‘Jail’’
and ‘‘Prison’’ to ensure that they capture
any confinement facilities with
residents who may access interstate and
international communications services,
and on how its proposals may promote
or inhibit digital equity and inclusion.
Steps Taken To Minimize the
Significant Economic Impact on Small
Entities and Significant Alternatives
Considered
95. The RFA requires an agency to
describe any significant alternatives that
it has considered in reaching its
proposed approach, which may include
the following four alternatives (among
others): (1) the establishment of
differing compliance or reporting
requirements or timetables that take into
account the resources available to small
entities; (2) the clarification,
consolidation, or simplification of
compliance and reporting requirements
under the rules for such small entities;
(3) the use of performance rather than
design standards; and (4) an exemption
from coverage of the rule, or any part
thereof, for such small entities. The
Commission will consider all of these
factors when it receives substantive
comment from the public and
potentially affected small entities. In
particular, the Commission will
consider the economic impact on small
entities, as identified in comments filed
in response to Document FCC 22–76
and the IRFA, in reaching its final
conclusions and promulgating rules in
this proceeding.
96. The Commission seeks comment
on allowing enterprise registration for IP
CTS so that incarcerated people with
communication disabilities can access
TRS. If adopted, this alternative form of
registration could reduce the burden on
IP CTS providers by allowing providers
to register the relay service at a facility
that maintains a list of users. The
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:10 Nov 14, 2022
Jkt 259001
Commission also seeks further comment
on requiring inmate calling services
providers to provide access to all forms
of TRS in a jurisdiction with an average
daily population of fewer than 50
incarcerated people. The request for
comment includes asking for cost data
to assist the Commission with its
analysis of the issue. The cost data will
help the Commission ensure it is
achieving its statutory obligation of
ensuring TRS are available to extent
possible, while appropriately
considering the burden on affected
entities.
97. The comments that stakeholders
submit in response to the Commission’s
requests for comment on refining its
rules on the treatment of funds in
inactive inmate calling services
accounts, the appropriate permanent
interstate and international rate and
ancillary services fee caps, and other
potential amendments to its ancillary
services rules, will supplement
comments previously filed in this
proceeding. Collectively, these
comments will help the Commission
meet its statutory obligation to ensure
that providers’ rates, terms, and
practices for interstate and international
inmate calling services are reasonable.
Small entities can provide input in
these areas addressing whether, among
other considerations, the Commission
should adjust its rules to address any
particular financial or implementation
challenges faced by small entities.
98. Similarly, the Commission’s
requests for comment regarding possible
amendments to its consumer disclosure
rules, regarding potential pilot programs
for inmate calling services that use
pricing structures other than per-minute
rates, regarding possible amendments to
its definitions of ‘‘Jail’’ and ‘‘Prison,’’
and regarding digital equity and
inclusion will provide an opportunity
for small entities, as well as other
stakeholders, to voice any concerns they
may have. The Commission will
consider any comments small entities
file regarding these matters as part of its
efforts to ensure that consumers of
calling services for incarcerated people
have the information they need to make
informed purchasing decisions. In
particular, it will consider whether any
concerns small entities raise regarding
possible changes to the consumer
disclose rules and the potential pilot
programs as part of its overall
evaluation of these areas.
99. The Commission will consider the
economic impact on small entities, as
identified in comments filed in response
to document FCC 22–76 and the IRFA,
in reaching its final conclusions and
promulgating rules in this proceeding.

Commission.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
The Commission has before it
a petition for rulemaking filed by RNN
Boston License Co., LLC (Petitioner), the
licensee of WWDP, channel 10, Norwell,
Massachusetts. The Petitioner requests
the substitution of channel 36 for
channel 10 at Norwell in the Table of
Allotments.
DATES: Comments must be filed on or
before December 15, 2022 and reply
comments on or before December 30,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In support
of its channel substitution request, the
Petitioner states that the Commission
has recognized that VHF channels have
certain characteristics that pose
challenges for their use in providing
digital television service According to
the Petitioner, it has received many
complaints from viewers unable to
receive a reliable signal on channel 10
and that its channel sharing partner,
WMFP(TV), Foxborough,
Massachusetts, which is also owned by
RNN, has similarly received complaints
and would benefit from the proposed
channel change. While an analysis using
the Commission’s TVStudy software
indicates that WWDP’s proposed
channel substitution is predicted to
create areas where viewers may lose
service, all viewers in the loss area will
continue to be served by at least five
other full power television stations and
no viewers will lose service from one of
the four major television networks.
This is a synopsis of the
Commission’s Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking, MB Docket No. 22–376;

27, 2022. The full text of this document

This document does not contain
information collection requirements
subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995, Public Law 104–13. In addition,
therefore, it does not contain any
proposed information collection burden
‘‘for small business concerns with fewer
than 25 employees,’’ pursuant to the
Small Business Paperwork Relief Act of
2002, Public Law 107–198, see 44 U.S.C.

Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601–
612, do not apply to this proceeding.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On April 27, 2016, in accordance with
section 32710 of the Moving Ahead for
Progress in the 21st Century Act (Pub.
L. 112–141, 126 Stat. 405, 815), FMCSA
published in the Federal Register, an
ANPRM titled ‘‘State Inspection
Programs for Passenger-Carrier
Vehicles’’ (Docket No. FMCSA–2014–
0470, 81 FR 24769). The ANPRM
announced that FMCSA was
considering a requirement that States
establish a program for annual
inspections of passenger-carrying CMVs.
FMCSA requested information from all
interested parties that would enable the
Agency to assess the risks associated
with improperly maintained or
improperly inspected passengercarrying CMVs. The ANPRM also sought
public comments concerning the
effectiveness of the current FMCSA
annual inspection standards, and data
on the potential costs and benefits of a
Federal requirement for each State to
implement a mandatory inspection
program. FMCSA inquired about how
the Agency might incentivize States to
adopt such programs.
The comment period closed on June
27, 2016, and 22 comments were
received, with a plurality (10 of 22) of
commenters expressing general
opposition to the mandatory State
inspection requirement discussed in the
ANPRM. After reviewing all the public
comments, FMCSA determined there
was not enough data and information
available to support moving forward
