**ORDER**

Adopted: December 8, 2005 Released: December 8, 2005

By the Chief, Industry Analysis and Technology Division:

**I. INTRODUCTION**

1.  In this Order, we revise two of the Automated Reporting Management
    Information System (ARMIS) reports:[^1] first to implement a recent
    Commission order[^2] and, second, as required by the Commission's
    rules.[^3] In addition, we clarify definitions and descriptions in
    several ARMIS reports to ensure consistency among reports and to
    improve the understanding of existing requirements. Finally, we
    adopt other minor, technical changes to the ARMIS reports pursuant
    to the authority delegated to the Wireline Competition Bureau in the
    *ARMIS Order* [^4] and section 0.291 of the Commission's rules.[^5]

2.  Because these changes are minor and, in most cases made pursuant to
    the recommendations of the carriers filing the reports, we find good
    cause to conclude that notice and comment procedures of the
    Administrative Procedure Act are unnecessary.[^6]

**II. DISCUSSION**

A.  **General**

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
3.  In this Order we implement changes to two ARMIS reports, and we make
    minor corrections and provide improved definitions, descriptions,
    and instructions that will lead to greater clarity and consistency
    in reporting by incumbent local exchange carriers. In the following
    sections, we discuss the more important modifications. The Appendix
    contains a complete listing of the revisions that we make to the
    ARMIS reports. Detailed instructions for the completion of the
    reports, which incorporate the changes made in this Order, are
    available for public inspection and copying at the Commission's
    Reference Information Center at Portals II, 445 Twelfth Street,
    S.W., Room CY-A257, Washington, D.C. 20554 and from Best Copy and
    Printing, Inc., Portals II, 445 Twelfth Street, S.W., CY-B402,
    Washington, D.C. 20554. Copies of the detailed instructions may also
    be obtained over the Internet, from the Commission's web site, at

4.  FCC Report 43-01, the Annual Summary Report, summarizes the
    carriers' accounting and cost allocation data prescribed in Parts
    32, 36, 64, 65, and 69 of the Commission's rules.[^7] In this Order,
    in Table I (Cost and Revenue), we remove Row 1970, Common Line
    Support -- Long Term, as required by our rules.[^8] In Table II
    (Demand Analysis), we clarify the instructions for Row 2090, by
    removing the reference to mobile telephone/pagers. Part I of the
    Appendix to this Order contains revisions to this report.

    carriers' regulated and nonregulated cost and revenue allocations by
    study area, pursuant to section 64.901 of the Commission's
    rules.[^9] In this Order, in compliance with a recent Commission
    order, we add two new rows and associated instructions in order to
    add wholesale and retail percentages for account 6623.[^10] Part II
    of the Appendix to this Order contains revisions to this report.

6.  FCC Report 43-05, the Service Quality Report, measures carrier
    trends in service quality under price-cap regulation by study area,
    pursuant to section 43.21(g) of the Commission's rules.[^11] In this
    Order we make several minor clarifying changes within the forms and
    instructions for this report. We make minor changes to update the
    forms for Table III (Common Trunk Blockage) and Table V (Service
    Quality Complaints). Finally, we add clarifying language to the
    instructions for Table IV (Total Switch Downtime), Column (an) --
    Total Number of Switches. Part III of the Appendix to this Order
    contains the revisions to this report.

```{=html}

```
E.  **FCC Report 43-07 - The Infrastructure Report**

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
7.  FCC Report 43-07, the Infrastructure Report, details carrier trends
    in telephone industry infrastructure development under price-cap
    regulation by study area, pursuant to section 43.21(i) of the
    Commission's rules.[^12] In this Order we make several minor
    clarifying changes within the forms and instructions for this
    report. Within Table I (Switching Equipment) we make minor changes
    to row titles for Rows 0113, and 0114, we clarify the General
    Instructions for this table, and we modify the instructions for Rows
    0110, 0111, 0113, and 0114 in order to clarifly switching equipment
    nomenclature. Part IV of the Appendix to this Order contains the
    revisions to this report.

```
8.  FCC Report 43-08, the Operating Data Report, details combinations of
    carriers' statistical data designed to monitor network growth,
    usage, and reliability by operating company, pursuant to section
    43.21(j) of the Commission's rules.[^13] In this Order we make
    several minor clarifying changes within the forms and instructions
    for this report. Within Table II (Switched Access Lines in Service)
    we make a minor change to the column title for Column (ck). We
    modify the instructions for Central Office Switches and for Columns
    (ck) and (cl), in order to clarify the types of central office and
    remote switches that are to be reported. In Table III (Access Lines
    in Service by Customer), we modify the table's format and change
    column titles of Columns (fd) and (fe), and we modify the
    instructions for these columns and for Column (fc). We do this in
    order to clarify that Payphone Lines are a subset of Multiline
    Business Switched Access Lines, and to correct formulas in Columns
    (fc) and (fd). Part V of the Appendix to this Order contains the
    revisions to this report.

## Report Definition -- Form

> Modify row titles as shown:

1.  Row 0113 - Host Switches.

2.  Row 0114 - Remote Switches (Stand‑Alone Only).

## 

## Report Definition -- General Instructions

> The first paragraph is changed to read: [Switches]{.underline} -
> Switches are assemblies of equipment and software designed to
> establish connections among lines or between lines and trunks.
> Switches include tandems, local , class 5 switching machines and any
> associated remote switching machines; e.g., a host end office and its
> three associated remote switches will be reported as four switches.
> However, the remote terminals of concentrators and Integrated Digital
> Loop Carrier systems are not reported in this table, because they are
> not switching entities. There may be more than one switch per central
> office or wire center.

## 

## Report Definition -- Row Instructions

> The following row instructions are changed to read:

1.  Row 0110 - [Total Switches]{.underline} - Enter in whole numbers,
    the total quantity of local and tandem switches. This amount is
    equal to the sum of Rows 0150 and 0170. Local switches include both
    host switches and their associated remote switches. Remote switches
    to be included in the total switches count are those described in
    the general definition of a remote switch.[^14] A remote switch can
    generally be described as a switch that has no connection to the
    facilities network except through its host switch. The host provides
    the processing capabilities and certain control functions for the
    remote switch under the direction of the host central processor, and
    controls the remote switch over a pair of dedicated data links.

> Note: Since some switches are used for both local and tandem
> switching, the sum of Rows 0111 and 0112 may be greater than the
> amount entered on this row. For example, if there are 6 local
> switches, 4 tandem switches and 5 switches that are used for both
> local and tandem switching, Row 0111 would equal 11 local switches,
> Row 0112 would equal 9 switches, and Row 0110 would equal 15 switches.
> In this case, the sum of Rows 0111 and 0112 (20) would be greater than
> the amount of total switches (15).
>
> Also, since we are asking only for the number of remote switches with
> stand‑alone capability in Row 0114, this quantity will be less than
> the number of remote switches included in Row 0110. This is because
> Row 110 includes the total of both stand-alone and non stand-alone
> remote switches. For example, if there are 16 total remote switches,
> where 7 have stand‑alone capability and 9 do not, the quantity entered
> on Row 0114 (7) would be less than the number of remote switches
> included in Row 0110 (16).

2.  Row 0111 - [Local Switches]{.underline} - Enter in whole numbers,
    the total quantity of switches used as local switches. Local
    switches encompass switches with no subtending remote switches, as
    well as host switches and their associated remote switches (both
    stand-alone and non stand-alone).

3.  Row 0113 - [Host Switches]{.underline} - Enter in whole numbers, the
    total quantity of host switches. A host switch is a switch that
    serves one or more remote switches.

4.  Row 0114 - [Remote Switches (Stand‑Alone Only)]{.underline} - Enter
    in whole numbers, the total quantity of remote stand-alone switches.
    Include on this row, only those remote switches that are equipped to
    operate in a stand-alone fashion (i.e., able to operate if the host
    fails, or if the data links to the host fail) to be able to provide
    more limited service. Remote switches that are not within this
    description, i.e., those that are non stand-alone remote switches,
    should not be included on this row.

> Note: A remote switch can generally be described as a switch that has
> no connection to the facilities network except through its host
> switch. The host provides the processing capabilities and certain
> control functions for the remote switch under the direction of the
> host central processor, and controls the remote switch over a pair of
> dedicated data links. All types of remote switches, i.e., both
> stand-alone and non stand-alone, are included with the switch counts
> in Row 0110 and Row 0111. However, Row 0114 excludes remote switches
> that are incapable of providing stand‑alone operation when the host
> switch fails.

**PART V -- Summary of changes to FCC Report 43-08 (The Operating Data
Report)**

**A. Table II -- Switched Access Lines in Service**

## Report Definition -- Form

> Modify the column title as shown: (ck) Central Office Switches
> Excluding Remote Switches.

## Report Definition -- General Instructions

> The second paragraph is changed to read: Report in Table II only those
> access lines connecting end users with their end offices for switched
> services. Access lines are classified as analog or digital based on
> the type of service provided. Include 800 and 800-like access lines
> and employee concession lines but do **NOT** include official/company
> circuits in the access line counts. **Provide a footnote if this has
> been done differently in the past.** Do not include in Table II
> circuits that provide access to an interexchange carrier. Do not
> include in Table II any special access lines, including the closed end
> of WATS and FX; all special access lines should be included in Table
> III, column (fj) or (fk). All local private lines should be included
> in Table III, column (fm).

## 

## Report Definition -- Column Instructions

> The following column instructions are changed to read:

1.  [Central Office Switches]{.underline} - Assemblies of equipment and
    software designed to establish connections among lines or between
    lines and trunks, including access tandems, local, class 5 switching
    machines, and any associated stand-alone and non stand-alone remote
    switching machines. There may be more than one switch per central
    office or wire center. If more than one switch is housed in a single
    building or structure, be sure to count each switch separately. Do
    not separately count each three‑digit telephone number prefix as a
    separate switch.

2.  (ck) [Central Office Switches Excluding Remote
    Switches]{.underline} - The amount in column (cm) minus the amount
    in column (cl) for each row.

3.  \(cl\) [Remote Switches]{.underline} - Generally described as a
    switch that has no connection to the facilities network except
    through its host switch. The host provides the processing
    capabilities and certain control functions for the remote under the
    direction of the host central processor and controls the remote over
    a pair of dedicated data links. Include not only those remote
    switches that are equipped to operate in a stand**-**alone fashion
    to be able to provide more limited service, but also those that are
    not so equipped, i.e., non stand-alone remote switches.

**B. Table III -- Access Lines in Service by Customer**

## Report Definition -- Form

[^1]: The ARMIS reporting requirements were established by the
    Commission in 1987 to facilitate the timely and efficient analysis
    of carrier costs and revenue, to provide an improved basis for
    audits and other oversight functions, and to enhance the
    Commission's ability to quantify the effects of alternative policy
    proposals. Additional ARMIS Reports were added in 1991 and 1992.
    Carriers must submit the ARMIS reports to the Commission annually on
    or before April 1.
