**COMMON CARRIER BUREAU SEEKS COMMENT ON PROPOSED STREAMLINED ARMIS
43-04 (JURISIDCTIONAL SEPARATIONS) REPORT**

**CC Docket No. 80-286**

On May 22, 2001, the Commission adopted the recommendation of the
Federal-State Joint Board to impose an interim freeze of certain
jurisdictional cost categories and allocation factors.[^1] Specifically,
the Commission adopted a freeze of all separations category
relationships and allocation factors for price cap companies, and a
freeze of all allocation factors for rate-of-return carriers. The
Commission further concluded, however, that rate-of-return carriers
shall also have a one-time option to freeze their category relationships
if they determine that doing so is in their best interests based upon
their individual investment patterns or plans. The Commission concluded
that it could streamline its current separations reporting requirements,
while receiving sufficient information to evaluate the freeze and
consider further separations reform. The Commission directed the Common
Carrier Bureau to seek comment on the content of a streamlined
Separations Report (ARMIS 43-04). The proposed ARMIS Report 43-04 would
reduce the total number of pages in the report from 63 to seven pages.
We hereby seek comment on the attached proposed streamlined ARMIS Report
43-04.

Comments are due on the attached proposal 20 days after date of
publication in the Federal Register. Reply comments are due 35 days
after date of publication in the Federal Register. Comments may be filed
using the Commission\'s Electronic Comment Filing System (ECFS) or by
filing paper copies.[^2]

Comments filed through the ECFS can be sent as an electronic file via
the Internet to \<http://www.fcc.gov/e-file/ecfs.html\>. Generally, only
one copy of an electronic submission must be filed. If multiple docket
or rulemaking numbers appear in the caption of this proceeding, however,
commenters must transmit one electronic copy of the comments to each
docket or rulemaking number referenced in the caption. In completing the
transmittal screen, commenters should include their full name, Postal
Service mailing address, and the applicable docket or rulemaking number.
Parties may also submit an electronic comment by Internet e-mail. To get
filing instructions for e-mail comments, commenters should send an
e-mail to ecfs@fcc.gov, and should include the following words in the
body of the message, \"get form \<your e-mail address.\" A sample form
and directions will be sent in reply.

Parties who choose to file by paper must file an original and four
copies of each filing. If more than one docket or rulemaking number
appear in the caption of this proceeding, commenters must submit two
additional copies for each additional docket or rulemaking number. All
filings must be sent to the Commission\'s Secretary, Magalie Roman
Salas, Office of the Secretary, Federal Communications Commission, 445
12th Street, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20554.

Parties who choose to file by paper should also submit their comments on
diskette. These diskettes should be submitted to: Ernestine Creech,
Accounting Safeguards Division, 445 12th Street, S.W., Washington, D.C.
20554. Such a submission should be on a 3.5-inch diskette formatted in
an IBM compatible format using Word or compatible software. The diskette
should be accompanied by a cover letter and should be submitted in
\"read only\" mode. The diskette should be clearly labeled with the
commenter\'s name, proceeding (including the docket number, in this case
CC Docket No. 80-286, type of pleading (comment or reply comment), date
of submission, and the name of the electronic file on the diskette. The
label should also include the following phrase \"Disk Copy - Not an
Original.\" Each diskette should contain only one party\'s pleadings,
preferably in a single electronic file. In addition, commenters must
send diskette copies to the Commission\'s copy contractor, International
Transcription Service, Inc., 1231 20th Street, N.W., Washington, D.C.
20037.

PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT

As part of our continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, we invite
the general public to take this opportunity to comment on information
collections contained in this Public Notice, as required by the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Pub. L. No. 104-13. Public and agency
comments are due at the same time as other comments on this Public
Notice. Comments should address: (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; and (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.

INITIAL REGULATORY FLEXIBILITY ANALYSIS

The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)[^3] requires that an initial
regulatory flexibility analysis be prepared for notice-and-comment
rulemaking proceedings, unless the agency certifies that \"the rule will
not, if promulgated, have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities.\"[^4] The RFA generally defines \"small
entity\" as having the same meaning as the terms \"small business,\"
\"small organization,\" and \"small governmental jurisdiction.\"[^5] In
addition, the term \"small business\" has the same meaning as the term
\"small business concern\" under the Small Business Act.[^6] A small
business concern is one which: (1) is independently owned and operated;
(2) is not dominant in its field of operation; and (3) satisfies any
additional criteria established by the Small Business Administration
(SBA).[^7]

This Public Notice seeks comments on a proposal to streamline the
Commission's Separations Report, ARMIS 43-04. This report is only filed
by incumbent local exchange carriers with annual operating revenues in
excess of \$117 million.

Neither the Commission nor SBA has developed a definition of \"small
entity\" specifically applicable to LECs. The closest definition under
SBA rules is that for establishments providing \"Telephone
Communications, Except Radiotelephone,\" which is Standard Industrial
Classification (SIC) code 4813. Under this definition, a small entity is
one that, including affiliates of the entity, employs no more than 1,500
persons.[^8]

We certify that the proposals in this Public Notice, if adopted, will
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities. Pursuant to long-standing rules, ILECs with annual operating
revenues equal to or exceeding the indexed revenue threshold must comply
with the Commission\'s separations reporting requirements. The
Commission proposes to reduce these reporting requirements. These
changes should be easy and inexpensive for ILECs to implement and will
not require costly or burdensome procedures. We therefore expect that
the potential impact of the proposed rules, if such are adopted, is
beneficial and does not amount to a possible significant economic impact
on affected entities. If commenters believe that the proposals discussed
in the Notice require additional RFA analysis, they should include a
discussion of these issues in their comments.

The Commission\'s Office of Public Affairs, Reference Operations
Division, will send a copy of this Public Notice, including this initial
certification, to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small Business
Administration.[^9] A copy will also be published in the Federal
Register.

EX PARTE PRESENTATIONS

Pursuant to section 1.1206 of the Commission\'s rules, this proceeding
will be conducted as a permit‑but‑disclose proceeding in which ex parte
communications are permissible but subject to disclosure.[^10]
