A. Introduction
This document contains the detailed automated data processing (ADP) specifications for the
automated report to be filed as FCC Report 43-02, the ARMIS USOA Report.
B. General Format
1. Electronically-Filed Data
a. For data reporting years 1990 and beyond, carriers must file their ARMIS Reports
and related documents electronically. Electronic submission of both is made through
the Internet by selecting the “Upload ARMIS Data” link on the EAFS Home Page,
at http://www.fcc.gov/wcb/eafs/.
b. All files must be coded in ASCII. Header records in the ARMIS Report data files must
include the report number, company, study area, period, COSA code, version, and
submission number. A higher number (2, 3, etc.) and a new data entry date must be used
each time a change occurs to denote a new submission.
c. A separate ASCII file must be prepared for each report. More than one ASCII file can
be included in the same electronic upload file – which is created by the data validation
program – as long as they are for the same report and cover the same period and version
(different submission numbers and multiple reasons for correcting data are allowed).
d. The electronic submission will serve as the carrier’s official filing.
2. ASCII File Name – each file has six components:
a. the four letter COSA code (CO = Company, SA = Study Area, see the COSA Code
Table for a list of companies and their respective COSAs)
b. the last two digits of the year which is covered by the data
c. the letters “US”
d. a decimal point
e. the letter “P”, “C”, or “U” to indicate whether this is the Public version, the Confidential
version, or the Unrestricted version
f. two digits (zero filled) for the submission number: Submission 00 is for test data
purposes only; Submission 01 is for the first submission of a year’s data
For example, the file name for the Unrestricted Version of the initial USOA Report data file
to be submitted by Illinois Bell to cover the calendar year 2007 would be LBIL07US.U01:

C. Filing Requirement
1. Proprietary Treatment: Carriers seeking proprietary treatment for some data must provide
two electronic versions of the automated report. The Confidential Version must contain all
the required information. Confidential Treatment Data Records must be provided to identify
confidential data but are not a substitute for applying for confidential treatment with this
Commission following established Commission procedures. The Public Version should
neither include data for which the carrier is seeking proprietary treatment nor Confidential
Treatment Data Records.
Carriers not seeking proprietary treatment for any data should provide only one electronic
version which should be identified as the Unrestricted Version.
2. Data Items That Are "Not Available," "Withheld," or Are “Irretrievable” – See
Sections B and C of the Reporting Procedures for a discussion of the Confidential Version,
the Public Version, and the Unrestricted Version of this report and for a definition and
discussion of data items that are “Not Available,” “Withheld,” or are “Irretrievable.”
3. Related Documents – These documents are required by Commission Order to be filed with
specific ARMIS reports. The electronic submission of these documents must be converted
to Adobe Acrobat’s Portable Document Format (PDF), prior to submitting the documents to
the Commission.
Document Conversion Requirements: Convert directly through a word-processing
application or through the use of a scanning device. Other than a letterhead graphic, the
documents to be converted should consist of text only—no graphics. Conversion of a
document to PDF should result in a black and white document with a resolution no greater
than 300 dpi, and having a file size no more than 40 to 50 Kb per page.
The related documents to be included in the electronic upload file for Report 43-02 are
described in items (a) and (b), below:
a. Transmittal Letter – Each ARMIS report submission must be accompanied by a letter
of transmittal. When filing confidential data, a separate letter is required. These letters
must be on official company letterhead and be included in each electronic upload file.
The transmittal letter must list only COSAs included in the submission. See Section G.2
of the Reporting Procedures for a description of the information to be provided in the
transmittal letter.
FCC Report 43-02 – Automated Report Specifications
December 2007
Page 3 of 64
b. Data Certification Statement – Carriers must certify the accuracy of the data submitted
in the ARMIS Reports by including one certification statement, signed by a corporate
officer, in each electronic upload file. The certification statement must list all COSAs
required for a specific ARMIS report. See Section G.3 of the Reporting Procedures for a
description of the information to be included in the statement.
In a separate electronic submission to the Commission include the following report:
c. Annual SEC 10-K Report – Carriers that file Table C-5 of ARMIS Report 43-02 are
required to file a copy of the holding company’s Annual SEC Form 10-K Report. The
PDF file naming convention that must be used for this report will consist of three
components: (1) the four letter holding company COSA code; (2) the report year; and
(3) the report name. For example, the file name for the SEC Form 10-K Report for
BellSouth would be bstr2007f10k.pdf. See Section G.4 of the Reporting Procedures
for details on the requirement for this report.
4. Data Validation Programs
a. Each reporting carrier must validate its data by using the most recent edit check
program(s), provided by the Commission, for the reporting year. When an error is
detected, the carrier must correct the error prior to submitting the report to the
Commission.
b. The edit check program creates the electronic upload file to be used as the carrier’s
official filing. It will normally contain the following:
1
2.
3.
4.
5.
The ASCII file(s)
Text files that will be stored in the database
The edit check results (“the Discrepancy Report”)
The comparison utility results for roll-up comparisons (“the Detailed Error Report”)
Related documents in PDF format, except the SEC Form 10-K Report
5. Upload Comment Field: Enter the reason for the filing, which must include a brief
description of ALL data (including footnotes) that have been added, removed, or
modified since the previous submission. This description must agree with what is being
filed. The comments should not contain references to IATD letters. Maximum comment
length is 245 characters (including spaces). If comment length will exceed 245
characters, include in the comments a reference to the associated transmittal letter by its
date, for additional information.
D. Data Entry Conventions
1. Give each record a unique record number, beginning with 1001 and incrementing by one,
with no numbers skipped.
FCC Report 43-02 – Automated Report Specifications
December 2007
Page 4 of 64
2. Begin each data record in column 1 and make each record the proper length as specified in
the record layouts. Commas are used as delimiters between fields. All numeric fields are
right justified and space filled, e.g. use 123, NOT 123. All non–numeric fields are
enclosed in double quotation marks and are left justified and space filled within these
quotation marks, e.g. use “John Doe .”
3. If an entry is to be a subtraction, indicate so by placing a minus sign in the column
immediately preceding the numeric data, e.g., use -4, NOT - 4 or (4).
4. When records require the entry of multiple rows of data for a particular item, enter data in
only those rows for which there are data to report.
5. Section ID row number records have been added for identifying sections of a table that
require reporting multiple rows of data for a particular item. This record includes a counter
to show the total number of rows or the total number of individual sets of rows in a section.
6. Records requiring the use of specific row numbers for a set of rows in a particular section of
a table must follow the sequence patterns as shown in the Forms Section of the Report
Definition.
7. When records require the use of row numbers that are associated with a state code or name,
use assigned row numbers and the state code on the Automated Report, not the state name,
as shown on the State Row Numbers and Codes Reference Table of the Report Definition.
State Codes are to be enclosed in double quotation marks, left justified and space filled.
Example:
For the Automated Report, enter only the state row
numbers and state codes (e.g., “110,” “AL,” . . .)
8. In any data field requiring the entry of a state or territory (e.g., State of Incorporation, States
of Operation, etc.) enter the state code on the Automated Report, not the state name, as
shown on the State Row Numbers and Codes Reference Table of the Report Definition.
State Codes are to be enclosed in double quotation marks and left justified and space filled,
e.g., “NY .”
9. Do NOT include “$,” “%,” embedded commas, decimal points, quotes or other formatting
characters in any numeric data fields, except for row numbers and percentage fields, which
will include a decimal point but not a percent sign.
10. In data fields requiring an entry of a date (e.g., Table C-5, Date of Change) or year (e.g.,
Table C-5, Term Expired or Current Term will Expire), enter as “mmddyyyy” or “yyyy”. If
there is no date to report, zero fill date as, “00000000” or “0000”. Do not leave blank or
insert “N/A.” These entries must be enclosed in double quotation marks and left justified.
11. In any numeric data field designated by N/A, enter -99999. In any text data field designated
by N/A, enter “N/A”. If a “Public Version” is filed, enter -88888 in any numeric data field
and “W/H” in any text data field for which data are “Withheld” to indicate that confidential
FCC Report 43-02 – Automated Report Specifications
December 2007
Page 5 of 64
treatment has been requested. These entries must be formatted according to the format rules
for the particular data field; e.g., in the percentage fields, -99999 is entered as -99999.00 and
text fields are enclosed in double quotation marks.
12. Do not override designated N/As. However, if a reporting carrier wishes to apply data to a
field containing a N/A, the carrier should enter as a footnote to the field, the amount(s) and
an explanation. The amount(s) must not be entered in the N/A field. All other fields must be
populated. If there are no data applicable to an open field, enter zero.
E. Rounding Conventions
1. As specified in the Report Definition, all monetary figures must be rounded to the nearest
thousand dollars.
2. All percentage amounts (e.g., Expected Long Term Return On Assets) must be entered as in
the following example and rounded to two decimal places.
Example: 23.70561 percent should be entered as 23.71
3. All ratios must be rounded to two decimal places. Service life (e.g., Bases of Charges for
Depreciation) must be rounded to one decimal place.
4. Unless otherwise indicated, account balances must reflect the results of operations as of the
end of the reporting period (December 31, 20xx).
F. Footnotes
1. General:
a. For initial (annual) filings, if any data for the current period differ materially from
those for the previous period and the difference is not self-explanatory but was
caused by unusual circumstances, the carrier must include detailed footnote text to
explain the specific circumstances. For resubmission filings, footnotes must be
provided for all changed data, which includes changed footnotes. When a summary
row value changes because of changes to one or more of its detail rows, the summary
row must also be footnoted.
b. Footnotes should be filed for the entities to which they apply: a footnote might apply
to a holding company COSA only, to a study area COSA only, or to both entities.
(However, footnotes should not be submitted at the holding company level if they
apply only to a company’s study areas.)
c. If the reporting carrier does not follow the procedures described in the row and
column instructions of the applicable Report Definition, it must explain any
deviations from those procedures in an explanatory footnote. Such footnotes must
provide detailed explanations of the procedures actually used by the carrier and its
FCC Report 43-02 – Automated Report Specifications
December 2007
Page 6 of 64
specific reasons for deviating from procedures prescribed by the Commission's Rules.
This provision should not be interpreted to mean that deviations from the prescribed
rules will automatically be approved by the Commission. See Section E of the
Reporting Procedures for examples of valid footnotes.
d. Footnote entries must provide detailed explanations for only those items reported in
the current submission. Footnotes from prior submissions should be included only if
they remain applicable. In other words, when a resubmission nullifies an existing
footnote, remove the footnote.
e. The footnote text must be included in the Footnote Text Records.
2. Mandatory: Certain items require accompanying footnotes and those items are specified
in the appropriate section of the Report Definition for filing the reports. Such footnotes
are mandatory and must be entered in the Footnote Text Records.
3. Footnote Structure:
Observe the footnote specifications to the letter and strive for an efficient footnote structure.
Reduce the size and number of footnotes by using global and referring footnotes.
Global Footnotes
a. If a footnote applies to an entire table, its row number is 9999.0, and its column letter
is ZZ;
b. If a footnote applies to all columns within a single row, its column letter is ZZ;
c. If a footnote applies to a single column within all rows, its row number is 9999.0;
d. If a footnote applies to a majority of (but not all) columns within a single row, its
column letter is ZZ, and its text should include the identity of the columns to which
the footnote applies;
e. If a footnote applies to a single column within a majority of (but not all) rows, its
row number is 9999.0, and its text should include the identity of the rows to which
the footnote applies;
Referring (non-Global) Footnotes
f. If a footnote applies to more than one, but less than a majority of rows or columns,
use individual referring footnotes for the rows or columns to refer to a single
explanatory footnote. The referring footnote must include the explanatory footnote’s
number, row, and column;
g. Referring footnotes and the footnotes to which they refer should be in the same table.
FCC Report 43-02 – Automated Report Specifications
December 2007
Page 7 of 64
Footnote Removal
h. For resubmissions, remove footnotes if they no longer apply, and renumber the
remaining footnotes.
i. When removing one or more footnotes from a table that were erroneously included in
a previous filing, provide a single explanatory footnote that includes a list of the
affected rows and columns. This footnote’s record number for the footnoted data is
9999 (field 4), its table number is ZZZZ, its row number is 9999.0, and its column
letters are ZZ.
G. Errata
1. Carriers are under a legal obligation to correct any erroneous data, which includes footnotes,
reported in ARMIS Reports. Thus, whenever there are changes in table data, footnotes are
added, footnotes are removed because they were erroneously-filed, or the text of an existing
footnote is changed, an erratum (and resubmission) is required. See Section B of the
Reporting Procedures for the use of submission numbers when an erratum occurs.
2. Submissions containing corrected data must include references to indicate which data items
were corrected since the previous submission. If the data items being corrected impact other
data items in the report, then those items must also be corrected and referenced. Erratum
references should reflect only those items corrected in the new submission. References from
prior submissions must not be included in the new submission.
3. Current errata references must be included in the Erratum Record(s).
4. Errata Structure:
Observe the errata record specifications to the letter, and strive for proper structure.
a. An errata record should reference more than one column, if multiple—but not all—
columns are affected for the same row. (Where all columns are affected use “ZZ” as
the column reference.)
b. When a footnote column field contains “ZZ” to indicate multiple—but not all—
columns, the errata record column field should not use “ZZ.” Instead, list the
columns affected in this field.
c. The errata record should reference the footnote number to which it applies.
d. For Submission Number 3 or higher, be careful to clear the errata table of entries
from previous filings, prior to adding new errata entries for the new submission.
e. When removing one or more footnotes from a table that were erroneously included in
a previous filing, the erratum record should refer to a single footnote explaining the
FCC Report 43-02 – Automated Report Specifications
December 2007
Page 8 of 64
removed footnote(s). In the erratum record, use 9999 for the record number of the
corrected data (field 4), ZZZZ for the table number, 9999.0 for the row number, and
ZZ for the column letters.
