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 December 
18, 2017. 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].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information about the 
information collection, contact Nicole Ongele at (202) 418-2991.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As part of its continuing effort to reduce 
paperwork burdens, and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) 
of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), the Federal Communications Commission 
(FCC or Commission) invites the general public and other Federal 
agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the following 
information collections. 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

    OMB Control Number: 3060-0512.
    Title: ARMIS Annual Summary Report.
    Form Number: FCC Report 43-01.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 93 respondents; 93 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. 219 and 220 of the 
Communications Act of 1934, as amended.
    Total Annual Burden: 744 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: No cost.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: Ordinarily questions of a 
sensitive nature are not involved in the ARMIS Report 43-01. 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, 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 43-01 helps 
the Commission fulfill its regulatory responsibilities regarding pole 
attachment rates. The Commission has granted all carriers forbearance 
from ARMIS 43-01 with the exception that carriers are still required to 
file pole attachment cost data. These data are required to allow the 
Commission to fulfill its responsibilities under Section 224 of the 
Communications Act of 1934, as amended.
