As part of its continuing effort
to reduce paperwork burdens, and as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act (PRA) of 1995, the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC or
the Commission) invites the general

take this opportunity to comment on the

information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
the accuracy of the Commission’s
burden estimate; ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information collected; ways to minimize
the burden of the collection of
information on the respondents,
including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology; and ways to
further reduce the information
collection burden on small business
concerns with fewer than 25 employees.
The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a
collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid control
number. No person shall be subject to
any penalty for failing to comply with
a collection of information subject to the
PRA that does not display a valid Office
of Management and Budget (OMB)
control number.
DATES: Written PRA comments should
be submitted on or before October 25,
2021. If you anticipate that you will be
submitting comments, but find it
difficult to do so within the period of
time allowed by this notice, you should
advise the contact listed below as soon
as possible.
ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to
Nicole Ongele, FCC, via email PRA@
fcc.gov and to Nicole.Ongele@fcc.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
additional information about the
information collection, contact Nicole
Ongele at (202) 418–2991.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 3060–0496.
Title: ARMIS Operating Data Report.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities.
Number of Respondents and
Responses: 49 respondents; 49
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 8
hours.
Frequency of Response: Annual
reporting requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Mandatory.
Statutory authority for this information
collection is contained in 47 U.S.C.
Sections 219 and 220 of the
Communications Act of 1934, as
amended.
Total Annual Burden: 392 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No cost.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
Ordinarily questions of a sensitive
nature are not involved in the ARMIS
Report 43–08. The Commission
PO 00000
Frm 00026
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
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, respondents may request
materials or information submitted to
the Commission be withheld from
public inspection under 47 CFR 0.459 of
the Commission’s rules.
Needs and Uses: The information
contained in FCC Report 43–08 has
helped the Commission fulfill its
regulatory responsibilities. Automated
reporting of these data greatly enhances
the Commission’s ability to process and
analyze the extensive amounts of data
provided in the reports. Automating and
organizing data submitted to the
Commission facilitate the timely and
efficient analysis of revenue
requirements, rates of return and price
caps, and provide an improved basis for
auditing and other oversight functions.
Automated reporting also enhances the
Commission’s ability to quantify the
effects of policy proposals. The
Commission has granted all carriers
forbearance from many of the
requirements of ARMIS 43–08
conditioned on approval of a data
retention compliance plan and
continued submission of certain ARMIS
43–08 data related to access lines in
service to customers.

well as the nature (e.g., amount and
method of assessment or collection) and
the amount of revenues obligated or
