Nature of Extent of Confidentiality: This collection does not address information of a confidential nature. Respondents may request confidential treatment of information they believe should be withheld from public inspection under 47 CFR 0.459 of the Commission’s rules. Needs and Uses: The ARMIS Joint Cost Report, FCC Report 04–03, contains financial and operating data. The Report details the incumbent local exchange carriers regulated and nonregulated cost and revenue allocations by study area pursuant to Part 64 of the Commission’s rules. This information is also a part of the data necessary to support the Commission’s audit and other oversight functions. This data provides the necessary detail to enable the Commission to fulfill it regulatory responsibility. The Commission is revising the number of respondents filing this ARMIS report from 83 to 80 to reflect three carriers that were sold. We are also increasing the burden hours to reflect the Commission’s requirement in its Report and Order and Memorandum Opinion and Order (MOO) released August 31, 2007. The Commission required AT&T, Qwest, and Verizon to include the imputation charges it debits to Account 5280 accompanied by an explanatory footnote for each line item identifying the amount imputed in three ARMIS report filings. The MOO required this information in FCC Reports 43–01, ARMIS Annual Summary Report; 43– 02, ARMIS USOA Report; and, 43–03, ARMIS Joint Cost Report. Federal Communications Commission. Marlene H. Dortch, Secretary. [FR Doc.
