Default Emergency paperwork

Why did you lose your engine gauges?

I declared my first ever emergency yesterday after encountering
unexpected ice. I only accumulated about 1/4 inch so it wasn't that big
a deal, but I lost my engine gauges (I fly an SR22), which included my
OAT, so I went ahead and declared so I could descend below the MEA to
shed the ice before anything else went wrong. About a minute after
declaring I broke out into VMC.

My question is: is there any FAA paperwork I need to do? I already
filed an ASRS form.

Thanks,
