FCC Report 43-01 and Pole Attachment Data Report Definitions January 2017 Page 2 of 22 NOTICE: The ARMIS Annual Summary Report collects highly aggregated financial data reflecting the results of accounting, rate base, and cost allocation requirements prescribed in Parts 32, 64, 65, 36 and 69. This report also includes a demand analysis table containing interstate access demand data. The ARMIS Annual Summary Report facilitates the timely and efficient analysis of revenue requirements, rates of return and price caps, jurisdictional separations, and universal service fund, 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. The Commission has granted all carriers conditional forbearance from ARMIS 43-01. To obtain this forbearance, carriers must have a data retention compliance plan approved by the Commission and continue to file certain ARMIS 43-01 data related to pole attachments. In addition, mid-sized incumbent local exchange carriers, as defined by Part 32.9000, shall certify compliance with Part 64.901 of the Commission’s rules (see Part 64.905) by filing a certification letter annually. This certification letter must be signed, under oath, by an officer of the company. Your response is mandatory. The public reporting for this collection of information is estimated to average 88 hours per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the required data, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. If you have any comments on this burden estimate, or how we can improve the collection and reduce the burden it causes you, please write to the Federal Communications Commission, AMD-PERM, Paperwork Reduction Project (3060-0512), Washington, DC 20554.
