ARMIS Actual Usage of Investment
Report FCC Reports 495B.
Report Numbers: FCC Reports 495–A
and 495–B.

The Automated Reporting Management
Information System (ARMIS) reporting
requirements were established by the
Commission in 1987 to facilitate the
timely and efficient analysis of carrier
operating costs and rates of return, 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
proposals. Additional ARMIS Reports
were added in 1991 and 1992.
Incumbent Local Exchange Carriers
(LECs) must submit the ARMIS reports
to the Commission annually on or
before April 1. See Reporting
Requirements of Certain Class A and
Tier I Telephone Companies (Parts 31,
43, 67 and 69 of the FCC’s Rules), Order,
2 FCC Rcd 5770 (1987), modified on
recon, 3 FCC Rcd 6375 (1988) (ARMIS

Section 43.21. The statutory authority
for this collection is contained in

Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, 47 U.S.C. 161, 219(b), and
220.

reporting requirement.
Total Annual Burden: 5,600 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No cost.

This collection addresses information of
a confidential nature. Respondents have
requested and filed for confidential
treatment of information they believe
should be withheld from public
inspection under 47 CFR Section 0.459
of the Commission’s rules.
Needs and Uses: The 495A Report
provides the forecast and resulting
investment allocation incorporated in a
carrier’s cost support for its access tariff.
The 495B Report enables the
Commission’s staff to monitor actual
and forecasted investment use. These
reports help ensure that the regulated
operations of the carriers do not
subsidize the nonregulated operations of
those same carriers. This information is

also a part of the data necessary to
support the Commission’s audit and
other oversight functions. The data
provide the necessary detail to enable
the Commission to fulfill it regulatory
responsibility. There are no changes to
the ARMIS Reports 495A and 495B.
