Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3507(a)(1)(D). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR 

seeks to extend PRA authority for the 

information collection requirements in 

Employee Retirement Income Security 

Act (ERISA) Prohibited Transaction 

Exemption (PTE) 1986–128, which 

applies to securities transactions 

involving an employee benefit plan and 

a broker-dealer. PTE 1986–128 permits 

a person who serves as fiduciary for an 

employee benefit plan to effect or 

execute securities transactions on behalf 

of the employee benefit plan. The PTE 

also allows sponsors of pooled separate 

accounts and other pooled investment 

funds to use their affiliates to effect or 

execute securities transactions for such 

accounts in order to recapture brokerage 

commissions for the benefit of employee 

benefit plans whose assets are 

maintained in pooled separate accounts 

managed by insurance companies. This 

exemption provides relief from certain 

prohibitions in ERISA section 406(b) 

(see 29 U.S.C. 1106(b)) and from the 

taxes imposed by Internal Revenue Code 

of 1986 (Code) section 4975(a) and (b) 

by reason of Code section 4975(c)(1)(E) 

or (F) (see 26 U.S.C. 4975(a), (b), and 

(c)(1)(E) and (F)). 

PTE 1986–128 section III imposes the 

following information collection 

requirements on a fiduciary of an 

employee benefit plan that effects or 

executes securities transactions (i.e., a 

broker-dealer) and the independent plan 

fiduciary authorizing the plan to engage 

in the transactions with the brokerdealer (i.e., an authorizing fiduciary) 

under the conditions contained in the 

exemption: (1) The authorizing plan 

fiduciary must provide the broker-dealer 

with an advance written authorization 

for the transactions; (2) the brokerdealer must provide the authorizing 

fiduciary with information necessary to 

determine whether an authorization 

should be made, including a copy of the 

exemption, a form for termination, a 

description of the broker-dealer’s 

brokerage placement practices, and any 

other reasonably available information 

regarding the matter that the authorizing 

fiduciary requests; (3) the broker-dealer 

must provide the authorizing fiduciary 

with a termination form, at least 

annually, explaining that the 

authorization is terminable at will, 

without penalty to the plan, and that 

failure to return the form will result in 

continued authorization for the brokerdealer to engage in securities 

transactions on behalf of the plan; (4) 

the broker-dealer must provide the 

authorizing fiduciary with either (a) a 

confirmation slip for each individual 

securities transaction within ten (10) 

days of the transaction containing the 

information described in regulations 17 

CFR 240.10b–10, or (b) a quarterly 

report containing certain financial 

information including the total of all 

transaction-related charges incurred by 

the plan; (5) the broker-dealer must 

provide the authorizing fiduciary with 

an annual summary of the confirmation 

slips or quarterly reports, containing all 

security transaction-related charges, the 

brokerage placement practices (if 

changed), and a portfolio turnover ratio; 

and (6) a broker-dealer who is a 

discretionary plan trustee must provide 

the authorizing fiduciary with an annual 

report showing separately the 

commissions paid to affiliated brokers 

and non-affiliated brokers, on both a 

total dollar basis and a cents-per-share 

basis. These requirements are designed 

as appropriate safeguards to ensure 

protection of plan assets involved in the 

transactions, which, in the absence of 

the class exemption, would not be 

permitted. These safeguards rely on the 

prior authorization and monitoring of 

the broker-fiduciary’s activities by a 

second plan fiduciary that is 

independent of the first. This 

information collection is authorized by 

ERISA section 408. See 29 U.S.C. 1108. 

This information collection is subject 

to the PRA. A Federal agency generally 

cannot conduct or sponsor a collection 

of information, and the public is 

generally not required to respond to an 

information collection, unless it is 

approved by the OMB under the PRA 

and displays a currently valid OMB 

Control Number. In addition, 

notwithstanding any other provisions of 

law, no person shall generally be subject 

to penalty for failing to comply with a 

collection of information that does not 

display a valid Control Number. See 5 

CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL 

obtains OMB approval for this 

information collection under Control 

Number 1210–0059. 

OMB authorization for an ICR cannot 

be for more than three (3) years without 

renewal, and the current approval for 

this collection is scheduled to expire on 

January 31, 2015. The DOL seeks to 

extend PRA authorization for this 

information collection for three (3) more 

years, without any change to existing 

requirements. The DOL notes that 

existing information collection 

requirements submitted to the OMB 

receive a month-to-month extension 

while they undergo review. For 

additional substantive information 

about this ICR, see the related notice 

published in the Federal Register on 

October 15, 2014 (79 FR 61903). 

Interested parties are encouraged to 

send comments to the OMB, Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs at 

the address shown in the ADDRESSES

section within thirty (30) days of 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register. In order to help ensure 

appropriate consideration, comments 

should mention OMB Control Number 

1210–0059. The OMB is particularly 

interested in comments that: 

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

• Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

• Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

• Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submission of 

responses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR 

seeks to extend PRA authority for the 

General Provisions and Confined and 

Enclosed Spaces and Other Dangerous 

Atmospheres in Shipyard Employment 

Standards information collection 

requirements codified in regulations 29 

CFR part 1915. The Occupational Safety 

and Health Act (OSHAct) requires an 

employer who is subject to the 

Standards: (1) to ensure a competent 

person conducts inspections and 

atmospheric testing prior to a worker 

entering a confined or enclosed space 

(§ 1915.12(a)–(c)); (2) to warn workers 

not to enter a hazardous space or other 

dangerous atmosphere (§§ 1915.12 (a)– 

(c), 1915.16); (3) to train a worker who 

will be entering a confined or enclosed 

space and certify such training has been 

provided (§ 1915.12(d)); (4) to establish 

and train shipyard rescue teams or 

arrange for outside rescue teams and 

provide them with information 

(§ 1915.12(e)); (5) to ensure one person 

on each rescue team maintains a current 

first aid training certificate 

(§ 1915.12(e)); (6) to exchange 

information regarding hazards, safety 

rules, and emergency procedures 

concerning these spaces and 

atmospheres with other employers 

whose workers may enter these spaces 

and atmospheres (§ 1915.12(f)); (7) to 

ensure testing of a space having 

contained a combustible or flammable 

liquid or gas or toxic, corrosive, or 

irritating substance, or other dangerous 

atmosphere, boundary or pipeline 

before cleaning or other cold work is 

started and, as necessary thereafter, 

while the operation is ongoing 

(§ 1915.13(b)(2) and (4)); (8) to post 

signs prohibiting ignition sources 

within or near a space that contains 

bulk quantities of a flammable or 

combustible liquid or gas 

(§ 1915.13(b)(10)); (9) to ensure a 

confined or enclosed space is tested 

before a worker performs hot work in 

the work area (§ 1915.14(a)); (10) to post 

warnings of testing conducted by a 

competent person and certificates of 

testing conducted by a Marine Chemist 

or Coast Guard authorized person in the 

immediate vicinity of the hot-work 

operation while the operation is in 

progress (§ 1915.14(a) and (b)); and (11) 

to retain the certificate of testing on file 

for at least three months after 

completing the operation

6, and 8 authorize this information 

collection. See 29 U.S.C. 651(b), 655, & 

657. 

This information collection is subject 

to the PRA. A Federal agency generally 

cannot conduct or sponsor a collection 

of information, and the public is 

generally not required to respond to an 

information collection, unless it is 

approved by the OMB under the PRA 

and displays a currently valid OMB 

Control Number. In addition, 

notwithstanding any other provisions of 

law, no person shall generally be subject

display a valid Control Number. See 5 

CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL 

obtains OMB approval for this
