Most answers to questions about EAFS can be found in the Getting Started booklet or in our collection of Q&A.


EAFS Data Retrieval Module
Welcome to the FCC's Electronic ARMIS Filing System - Data Retrieval Module--your portal to the ARMIS database containing financial and operational data of the nation's largest local exchange carriers that file this data in compliance with Part 43 of the Commission's Rules.

ARMIS filing requirements were reduced significantly for 2008 data by Commission forbearance orders. More information on the impact of the forbearance orders is available on the Significant Changes to ARMIS Reporting Instructions page.

Retrieve ARMIS data by using one of the following methods:

  • Preset Reports -- This link provides users with pre-selected data in the form of preset ("canned") reports having broad appeal to both the public and the Commission. This link also provides users with the ability to select and print formatted ARMIS data (paper reports) beginning with reporting year 1996.

  • Customized Reports -- This link provides users the choice of extracting data using either a "Full-Featured" version or a "Compact Format" version (fewer query choices, minimal data formatting, etc.) of the data retrieval module.

  • ASCII Files -- This link provides users with the ability to download ASCII (comma-delimited) files, beginning with reporting year 1996.

  • Data Information Reports -- This link displays five choices that provide features which are ancillary to the basic system functions. The features provide the user with useful information about ARMIS data.

  • Related Documents -- This link displays five choices for retrieving documents that are part of an ARMIS submission, such as transmittal letter and certification statement.
