ARMIS Filing Requirements for Carriers

Historically, the first submission of each ARMIS report, except the 43-07, was filed one quarter (three months) after the end of the reporting period. The 43-07 was to be filed two quarters (six months) after the end of the reporting period.

Currently, all of the reports are filed annually, and reports are due on April 1 of a given year, for prior year data. Subsequent submissions correcting previously filed data should be filed as soon as the correction is identified.

In order to determine which ILECs will normally file which ARMIS reports for which COSA codes, it is necessary to identify the ILEC's status in three dimensions: revenues (at or above the current threshold of $138M, or below), corporate structure (whether a study area, operating company or holding company, singly or in some combination of these classifications), and price cap status (mandatory price cap carrier, elective price cap carrier, non price cap carrier). Once these attributes are known, the normal filing requirements of an ILEC are determined, and are summarized in the chart, below.

Notes: 1. No ARMIS reports are required of the approximately 1200 small companies with annual revenues below the current threshold of $138M.

2. Mid-Sized ILECs (holding companies with annual revenues less than $8.181B) file a reduced version of the 43-01. Also, beginning with 2001 data, Mid-Sized ILECs (Non-Price Cap and Elective Price Cap Carriers) were granted relief from filing the ARMIS 43-02, 43-03 and 43-04 Reports.
