Abstract: This submission is being made for proposed non-substantive changes to an existing information collection pursuant to 44 U.S.C. § 3507. This submission provides the final versions of FCC Form 2302(a) (consisting of Word and Excel Templates) and of FCC Form 2302(b) (Certification Form) to reflect OMB approval on March 1, 2022 and the assignment of OMB Control No. 3060-1300 to this new collection. In addition, this submission provides the final version of the 2022 MDC Instructions to Third Mandatory Data Collection which is now paginated because the previous version was not. 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.
