## Abstract

In this Order on Reconsideration, the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) denies a petition for reconsideration filed by Global Tel*Link Corp. (GTL) seeking reconsideration of the 2020 ICS Order on Remand, released on August 7, 2020. The Commission reiterates that the jurisdictional nature of a telephone call from a prison or jail depends, for purposes of charging consumers, on the physical location of the originating and terminating endpoints of the call. To the extent the endpoints of any particular call from a prison or jail could be either intrastate or interstate and such endpoints are not known or easily knowable, consistent with Commission precedent, rates or charges for such calls may not exceed any applicable federally prescribed rates or charges.
