FCC Tribal Webinar on the 988 Fee Accountability Report
The FCC hosted this webinar to provide Tribes with an overview of the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline and information about an opportunity to submit 988 fees data. The webinar covered background on the 988 Lifeline and 988 fees, results from the FCC’s first annual 988 fees report, and instructions about how to assist the FCC by submitting a 988 fees questionnaire. The FCC is required to submit an annual report to Congress regarding the collection and distribution of 988 fees and charges and solicits input from States, political subdivisions, Indian Tribes, or villages or regional corporations established pursuant to the Alaska Native Settlement Act about actions they may have taken in this area in the past calendar year. Input from these entities is critical, and this webinar provided information targeted specifically to Tribal entities about the fee questionnaire and explained how valuable Tribal input is to the FCC’s efforts to collect accurate data. This event was held in an online format on April 27, 2023, and was available free to the public via live feed from the FCC’s web page at www.fcc.gov/live and on the FCC’s YouTube channel.
