ACTION: Request for comments. 

SUMMARY: The Pension Benefit Guaranty

regulations in response to the 

President’s Executive Order 13563 on 

Improving Regulation and Regulatory 

Review. The purpose of this review is to

for possible modification, streamlining, 

or repeal, which will be incorporated 

into a preliminary regulatory review 

plan. For now, we are asking the public 

for ideas and information—to suggest 

candidate regulations for review, 

alternative approaches, etc.—to help 

prepare the preliminary plan. There will 

be additional opportunities for public 

comment after the preliminary plan is 

developed and approved. 

DATES: PBGC requests that written 

comments and information on 

developing the preliminary plan be 

submitted by April 20, 2011. PBGC will 

take into consideration comments 

received after that date to the extent 

feasible.
