FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Being Reviewed by the 
Federal Communications Commission for Extension Under Delegated 
Authority

November 18, 2004.
SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission, as part of its 
continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden invites the general public 
and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the 
following information collection(s), as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, Public Law 104-13. An agency 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 Paperwork Reduction Act that does not display a valid control 
number. Comments are requested concerning (a) Whether the proposed 
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of 
the functions of the Commission, including whether the information 
shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's 
burden estimate; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 
of the information collected; and (d) 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.

DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments should be 
submitted on or before January 31, 2005. 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 Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments to Judith 
B. Herman, Federal Communications Commission, Room 1-C804, 445 12th 
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20554 or via the Internet to [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information or copies

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB Control No.: 3060-0513.
    Title: ARMIS Joint Cost Report.
    Report No.: FCC Report 43-03.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit institutions.
    Number of Respondents: 83.
    Estimated Time Per response: 50 hours.
    Frequency of Response: Annual reporting requirement.
    Total Annual Burden: 4,150 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: Not Applicable.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment.: Not Applicable.
    Needs and Uses: The Joint Cost Report is needed to administer our 
joint cost rules (Part 64) and to analyze data in order to prevent 
cross-subsidization of non-regulated operations by the regulated 
operations of Tier 1 carriers. The information contained in the ARMIS 
Report 43-03 provides the necessary detail to enable the Commission to 
fulfill its regulatory responsibilities. Automated reporting of these 
data greatly enhances the Commission's ability to process and analyze 
the extensive amounts of data that it needs to administer its rules. 
ARMIS facilitates the timely and efficient analysis of revenue 
requirements, rates 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.

Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
