Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this expiring information collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) after this 60-day comment period in order to obtain the full three year clearance from them. The Commission is requesting an extension (no change in the reporting, recordkeeping and/or third party disclosure requirements) of this information collection. The Commission is reporting a decrease of 2,000 hours in total annual burden. This decrease adjustment is due to an Order, FCC 08– 12, which granted numerous carriers forbearance from compliance to the relevant rules. The number of respondents decreased from six to one. Section 64.901 requires carriers to separate their regulated costs from nonregulated costs using the attributable cost method of cost allocation. Carriers must follow the principles described in 47 CFR 64.901. Section 64.903(a) requires Local Exchange Carriers (LECs) with annual operating revenues equal to or above the indexed revenue threshold as defined in 47 CFR 32.9000 to file a cost allocation manual (CAM). Section 64.903(b) requires that carriers update their cost allocation manuals at least annually, except that changes to the cost apportionment table and the description of time reporting procedures must be filed at the time of implementation. The FCC uses the manuals to ensure that all costs are properly classified. Filing of cost allocation manuals and occasional updates are subject to the uniform format and standard procedures specified in Responsible Accounting Officer (RAO) Letter 19. RAO Letter 26 provides guidance to carriers in revising their CAMs to reflect changes to affiliate transactions rules pursuant to the Accounting Safeguard Order (FCC 96– 490). The CAM is reviewed by Commission staff to ensure that all costs are properly classified between regulated and nonregulated activity. Uniformity in the CAMs helps improve the joint cost allocation process. In addition, the uniformity gives the Commission greater reliability in financial data submitted by the carriers through the Automated Reporting Management Information System (ARMIS).

    Total Annual Burden: 400 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: N/A.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for 
confidentiality.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this expiring 
information collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
after this 60-day comment period in order to obtain the full three year 
clearance from them. The Commission is requesting an extension (no 
change in the reporting, recordkeeping and/or third party disclosure 
requirements) of this information collection. The Commission is 
reporting a decrease of 2,000 hours in total annual burden. This 
decrease adjustment is due to an Order, FCC 08-12, which granted 
numerous carriers forbearance from compliance to the relevant rules. 
The number of respondents decreased from six to one.
    Section 64.901 requires carriers to separate their regulated costs 
from nonregulated costs using the attributable cost method of cost 
allocation. Carriers must follow the principles described in 47 CFR 
64.901.
    Section 64.903(a) requires Local Exchange Carriers (LECs) with 
annual operating revenues equal to or above the indexed revenue 
threshold as defined in 47 CFR 32.9000 to file a cost allocation manual 
(CAM). Section 64.903(b) requires that carriers update their cost 
allocation manuals at least annually, except that changes to the cost 
apportionment table and the description of time reporting procedures 
must be filed at the time of implementation. The FCC uses the manuals 
to ensure that all costs are properly classified.
    Filing of cost allocation manuals and occasional updates are 
subject to the uniform format and standard procedures specified in 
Responsible Accounting Officer (RAO) Letter 19. RAO Letter 26 provides 
guidance to carriers in revising their CAMs to reflect changes to 
affiliate transactions rules pursuant to the Accounting Safeguard Order 
(FCC 96-490).
    The CAM is reviewed by Commission staff to ensure that all costs 
are properly classified between regulated and non-regulated activity. 
Uniformity in the CAMs helps improve the joint cost allocation process. 
In addition, the uniformity gives the Commission greater reliability in
