Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: The total annual hourly burden estimate for this collection is now 3,960 hours, a decrease of 7,128 hours. The Commission notes that the total number of respondents decreased from 126 to 45. We are reducing the total annual hourly burden by 6,952 hours (program change) to reflect that 80 respondents will not file this report attributed to the Memorandum Opinion and Order, FCC 08-271 on December 12, 2008. This reflects the Commission's forbearance that AT&T, Quest and Verizon not file this ARMIS Report. Secondly, we are reducing the hourly burden by a 176 hour adjustment to reflect two study area carriers that will not have to file this Report since their revenue falls below the reporting threshold used for classifying carrier categories for various accounting and reporting purposes. Finally, the Commission is increasing the estimated average time per response by 88 hours.
