Public Law 116-172, 134 Stat. 832 (2020) (988 Act), to submit an annual
``Fee Accountability Report'' to the Committees on Commerce, Science,
and Transportation and Appropriations of the Senate, and the Committees
on Energy and Commerce and Appropriations of the House of
Representatives, detailing ``the status in each State, political
subdivision of a State, Indian Tribe, or village or regional
corporation serving'' an Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act region, of
the collection and distribution of fees or charges for ``the support or
implementation of 9-8-8 services,'' including ``findings on the amount
of revenues obligated or expended by each [state, political entity, and
subdivision] for any purpose other than the purpose for which any such
fees or charges are specified.'' (988 Act, 134 Stat. at 833-34.)

corporations serving a region established pursuant to the Alaska Native
Claims Settlement Act, as amended (43 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) can use to
submit data pertaining to the collection and distribution of revenues
from fees and charges for the support or implementation of 988
services, including the use of such collected fees and charges for any
purpose other than for the support or implementation of 988 services.
In addition, consistent with the definition of ``State'' set forth in
47 U.S.C. 153(40) of the Communications Act, the Commission will
collect this information from states as well as the District of
Columbia and the inhabited U.S. Territories and possessions.
