Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Being Submitted for 
Review and Approval to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden 
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3502-3520), the Federal Communications Commission invites the general 
public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment 
on the following information collection(s). 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 estimates; (c) 
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information 
collected; (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; and (e) 
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 OMB 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 (PRA) that does not 
display a valid OMB control number.

DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments should be 
submitted on or before October 24, 2011. If you anticipate that you 
will be submitting PRA comments, but find it difficult to do so within 
the period of time allowed by this notice, you should advise the FCC 
contact listed below as soon as possible.

ADDRESSES: Submit your PRA comments to Nicholas A. Fraser, Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB), via fax at 202-395-5167 or via Internet at 
[email protected] and to Judith B. Herman, Federal 
Communications Commission, via the Internet at [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 3060-0511.
    Title: ARMIS Access Report, FCC Report 43-04.
    Form No.: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 76 respondents; 76 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 153 hours.
    Frequency of Response: Annual reporting requirements.
    Obligation to Respond: Mandatory. Statutory authority for this 
information collection is contained in 47 U.S.C. sections 161, 219 and 
220.
    Total Annual Burden: 11,628 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: N/A.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: Ordinarily questions of a 
sensitive nature are not involved in the ARMIS 43-04 Access Report. The 
Commission 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, the Commission instructs the respondent on the 
appropriate procedures to follow to safeguard sensitive data. See 47 
CFR 0.459 of the Commission's rules on the procedures for requesting 
confidential treatment of data.
    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 OMB approval for an 
extension (no change in the reporting requirements).
    There is no change in the Commission's previous burden estimates.
    The Access Report, 43-04, is used to administer the Commission's 
accounting, jurisdictional separations and access charge rules; to 
analyze revenue requirements and rates of return, and to collect 
financial data from large Class A carriers.

Federal Communications Commission.
