Abstract: Pursuant to the Third Mandatory Data Collection, the Commission is seeking data related to ICS providers' operations, costs, demand, and revenues. The Commission explained that it would use the information collected through this Third Mandatory Data Collection to set permanent interstate and international ICS provider-related rate caps that more closely reflect providers’ costs of serving correctional facilities. The Commission also emphasized that those data would enable it to evaluate and, if warranted revise the current ancillary service charge caps.
