     Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
     Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
     Number of Respondents: 55 respondents; 55 responses.
     Estimated Time Per Response: 139 hours.
     Frequency of Response: Annual reporting requirement.
     Obligation to Respond: Mandatory. Statutory authority for this 
collection of information is contained in 47 U.S.C. sections 11, 219(b)

     Total Annual Cost: N/A.
     Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
     Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: Ordinarily questions of a

The Commission contends that areas in which detailed information is 
required are fully subject to regulation and the issue of data being 
regarded as sensitive will arise in special circumstances only. In such 
circumstances, the respondent is instructed on the appropriate 
procedures to follow to safeguard sensitive data. Section 0.459 of the 
Commission's rules contains procedures for requesting confidential 
treatment of data. See 47 CFR 0.459 of the Commission's rules.
     Need and Uses: The Commission is requesting an extension (no 
change in the annual reporting requirement) for this expiring 
information collection. The Commission has adjusted the total number of 
respondents and burden hours to reflect more accurate estimates. The 
Commission is submitting this extension to the OMB in order to obtain 
the full three year clearance from them.
    Section 220 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, allows 
the Commission, at its discretion, to prescribe the forms of any and 
all accounts, records and memoranda to be kept by carriers subject to 
this Act, including any accounts, records and memoranda of the movement 
of traffic, as well as the receipts and expenditures of moneys.
    The Automated Reporting Management and Information System (ARMIS) 
was implemented to facilitate the timely and efficient analysis of 
revenue requirements, rates of return and price caps; to provide an 
improved basis for audits and other oversight functions; and to enhance 
the Commission's ability to quantify the effects of alternative policy. 
The ARMIS Report 43-08 collects network operating data in a consistent 
format. The ARMIS Report 43-08 monitors network growth, usage and 
reliability.
    In this submission to the OMB, the Commission is adjusting the 
number of carriers filing this ARMIS report from 56 to 55 to reflect 
the merger of two holding companies. The Commission, in its ARMIS 
Forbearance Order, noted that among other things, that the reporting 
carriers have committed to collecting and retaining all information/
data internally that was previously reported but will not be reported 
during this OMB approval period on the ARMIS Report 43-08, for 24 
months.
    The information in the ARMIS Report 43-08 provides the necessary 
detail to enable this Commission to fulfill its regulatory 
responsibilities. Automated reporting of these data greatly enhances 
the Commission's ability to receive, process and analyze the extensive 
amounts of data that are needed to administer the rules. ARMIS 
facilitates the timely and efficient analysis of revenue requirements, 
rate of return and price caps, and provides an improved basis for 
auditing and other oversight functions. It also enhances the 
Commission's ability to quantify the effects of policy proposals.
