ERRATUM

		Released:  August 3, 2021

By the Managing Director and the Acting Chief, Wireless Telecommunications Bureau:

On July 13, 2021, the Commission released a Second Report and Order and Second Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (Second R&O and Second FNPRM), FCC 21-82, in the above-captioned proceeding.  To conform to the publishing conventions of the National Archives and Records Administration’s Office of the Federal Register, to simplify the process of making the rule changes effective following review by the Office of Management and Budget pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, and to correct other minor errors, this Erratum amends the Second R&O and Second FNPRM and Appendix A as indicated below:
1. In paragraph 95 of the Second R&O and Second FNPRM, in the beginning of the second sentence, replace “Sections 20.23(b)(1), (3)-(5), (7); (c)(1)-(2), (3)(ii)-(iv); and (d) of the Commission’s rules” with “The revisions to section 20.23(b)-(d) of the Commission’s rules.”
2. Above paragraph 1 in Appendix A, the part heading is corrected to read as follows:
“PART 20 – COMMERCIAL MOBILE SERVICES”
3. The corrections to Section 20.23 in the Final Rules of Appendix A are as follows:
a. Paragraph (b) is corrected to read as follows:
“(b) Contraband Interdiction System (CIS) authorization process.  The provisions in this section apply to any person seeking certification of a CIS authorized for use in the submission of qualifying disabling requests, whether operating a system that requires a license and is regulated as CMRS or private mobile radio service (PMRS) or operating a passive system that does not require a license.  The Wireless Telecommunications Bureau (Bureau) will establish, via public notice, the form and procedure for: CIS operators to file CIS certification applications, self-certifications, and periodic re-certification; CIS operators to serve on wireless providers notice of testing and copies of self-certification; and wireless providers to file objections to self-certifications, including required service on CIS operators and DCFOs.”
b. In paragraph (b)(1)(i), replace “Commission rules;” with “Commission rules in part 2 of this chapter;”.
c. Paragraph (b)(2) is corrected to read as follows:
“(2) Marketing and sales. CIS that are certified for use in qualifying requests…” for disabling of contraband devices may be marketed or sold only to correctional facilities or entities that will provide contraband interdiction services to such facilities.
d. In paragraph (b)(3)(i), the last sentence is corrected to read as “Relevant wireless providers include any wireless provider holding a spectrum license that:”
e. Below paragraph (b)(3)(i), correct paragraphs (A) and (B) to read as follows:
“(A) Authorizes operation on the frequencies on which the CIS seeks to detect contraband use; and
(B) Authorizes service in the geographic area (e.g., census tract, county, Partial Economic Area (PEA), Economic Area (EA), Cellular Market Area (CMA), Regional Economic Area Grouping (REAG)) within which the correctional facility is located.”
f. Paragraphs (c)(4)(iii) and (iv) are corrected to read as follows:
“(iii) Restoration of service. In the event the DCFO directs the wireless provider to reverse the disabling, the wireless provider must, within two business days, restore service to the device and reverse any actions taken to prevent the device from accessing other wireless provider networks.
(iv) Wireless provider action in absence of timely DCFO response. In the event the DCFO does not respond to a request from a wireless provider for review of a qualifying request within two business days, the wireless provider may proceed with reversing the disabling action.”
