``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

subdivisions thereof, Indian Tribes, and village or regional
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
