*Respondents:*                     Business or other for-profit entities.                

*Number of Respondents and Responses:*                     93 respondents; 93 responses.

*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.

*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.
