Information Collection Being Reviewed by the Federal 
Communications Commission Under Delegated Authority

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: 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 public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to 
comment on the following information collection. Comments are requested 
concerning: 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; 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 July 8, 
2024. 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 
[email protected] and to [email protected].

information collection, contact Nicole Ongele, (202) 418-2991.

[[Page 39613]]

    Total Annual Cost: No cost.
    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.


Federal Communications Commission.
