| 2024-19038 | Incarcerated People's Communication Services; Implementation of the Martha Wright-Reed Act; Rates for Interstate Inmate Calling Services | Proposed Rule | The Federal Communications Commission (Commission) seeks additional comment on establishing permanent rate caps for video incarcerated people's communications services (IPCS) that are just and reasonable, and will fairly compensate IPCS providers, including comment on the video IPCS marketplace and the types of data needed to support its efforts to adopt permanent video IPCS rate caps in the future. It also seeks comment on the possibly of further disaggregating the very small jail rate tier and the types of cost or other data that would identify any additional distinctions within this rate tier. The Commission seeks comment on its authority to address quality of service issues raised in this proceeding and whether it should develop minimum Federal quality of service standards. It again seeks comment on whether to expand the definitions of "Prison" and "Jail" to capture the full universe of confinement facilities and specifically, the costs providers incur in providing service to confinement facilities that are not correctional institutions. It also seeks comment on whether to incorporate into its inactive account rules a requirement that providers allow account holders to designate a third party to receive refunds from IPCS accounts. Finally, the Commission seeks comment on possibly adopting a uniform additive to the IPCS rate caps to account for correctional facility costs. | 2024-09-20 | 2024 | 9 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/09/20/2024-19038/incarcerated-peoples-communication-services-implementation-of-the-martha-wright-reed-act-rates-for | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-09-20/pdf/2024-19038.pdf | Federal Communications Commission | 161 | The Federal Communications Commission (Commission) seeks additional comment on establishing permanent rate caps for video incarcerated people's communications services (IPCS) that are just and reasonable, and will fairly compensate IPCS providers,... |
