FCC Report 43-09A was adopted by the Common Carrier Bureau to
establish reporting requirements on video dialtone costs and
jurisdictional separations for local exchange carriers offering video
dialtone service. The report is prescribed for every local exchange
carrier that has obtained Section 214 authorization from the Commission
to provide video dialtone trials or commercial services.
Affected carriers shall file by June 30, September 30, and December
31 of each year the report for the previous quarter. The initial report
will be filed on the last day of the calendar quarter after the end of
the calendar quarter in which a carrier received authorization. The
report shall be filed on a study area basis.
FCC Report 43-09A provides a quarterly report of wholly dedicated
and shared video dialtone investment, expense, and revenue captured in
a carrier's subsidiary accounting records. The report line items
generally follow those provided in existing FCC Report 43-01, ARMIS
Quarterly Report, with minor exceptions. The report columns identify
data for each line item by dedicated video dialtone costs and revenues,
shared costs and revenues, and video dialtone's portion of shared costs
and revenues.
FCC Report 43-09B was adopted by the Common Carrier Bureau to
establish reporting requirements on video dialtone costs and
jurisdictional separations for local exchange carriers offering video
dialtone service. The report is prescribed for every local exchange
carrier that has obtained Section 214 authorization from the Commission
to provide video dialtone trials or commercial services.
Affected carriers shall file by March 31 of each year the report
for the fourth calendar quarter. The report shall be filed on a study
area basis.
FCC Report 43-09B provides a fourth quarter report of video
dialtone investment, expense, and revenue disaggregated by regulated
and nonregulated classification and by jurisdictional categories. The
reports summarize the impact of video dialtone on the interstate and
intrastate jurisdictions and local telephone rates. The report line
items generally follow those provided in existing FCC Report 43-01,
ARMIS Quarterly Report, with minor exceptions. The report columns
identify data for each line item by total costs and revenues, dedicated
video dialtone costs and revenues, shared costs and revenues, video
dialtone's portion of shared costs and revenues, total video dialtone
costs and revenues, video dialtone's percentage of total costs and
revenues, nonregulated and nonregulated video dialtone costs and
revenues, and video dialtone costs and revenues subject to separations
and those allocated to the intrastate and interstate jurisdictions. OMB
approval for these reporting requirements is being requested by
September 29, 1995.
OMB Control No.: None.
Title: ARMIS Video Dialtone Quarterly Report; ARMIS Video Dialtone
Fourth Quarter Report.
Form Nos.: FCC Report 43-09A; FCC Report 43-09B.
Action: New collection.
Respondents: Businesses or other for-profit.
Frequency of response: Quarterly.
Estimated Annual Burden: 10 respondents; average 462 hours per
respondent; 4,620 hours total annual burden.
Needs and Uses: This information is being collected in conjunction
with the Common Carrier Bureau's Order Inviting Comment, DA 95-1409,
AAD No. 95-59 (released June 23, 1995), that proposed the content and
format of video dialtone reports initiated by the Commission's Video
Dialtone Reconsideration Order, 10 FCC Rcd 244 (November 7, 1994). The
reports will enable the Commission, State regulatory agencies, local
exchange carriers (``LECs''), and other interested parties to analyze
LECs' video dialtone investment, revenue, and costs. Specifically, the
data will allow the Commission to monitor the implementation of video
dialtone service, to assist the Commission in ensuring that local
telephone service ratepayers do not absorb any of the costs of a LEC's
video dialtone operations, to track the impact of video dialtone on
jurisdictional separations and local

telephone rates, and to aid the Commission in its tariff review
process.
