Abstract: Inmate calling service (ICS) providers must complete a one-time, mandatory data collection on the costs of providing interstate, international, intrastate toll, and local ICS. The data collection will include data on various ICS costs, rates, demand (minutes of use) and forecasts. Providers will need to identify fixed, per-call and per-minute costs. They will also need to apportion direct costs and joint and common costs for each cost category and to explain how joint and common costs are apportioned among the facilities they serve and the services they provide. Providers will also have to submit data on ancillary charges and demand (minutes of use).
