dividing the number representing 

Bureau of Prisons facilities’ monetary 

obligation (excluding activation costs) 

by the number of inmate-days incurred 

for the preceding fiscal year, and then 

by multiplying the quotient by 365. In 

2012, however, there were 366 days, so 

we multiply the quotient by 366 for 

2012. 

Under § 505.2, the Director of the 

Bureau of Prisons determined that, 

based upon fiscal year 2012 data, the fee 

to cover the average cost of 

incarceration for Federal inmates in 

Fiscal Year 2012 was $29,027.46 ($79.31 

per day). (Please note: There were 366 

days in FY 2012.) The average annual 

cost to confine an inmate in a 

Community Corrections Center for 

Fiscal Year 2012 was $27,003 ($73.78 

per day).

Agency: Employee Benefits Security 

Administration, Department of Labor. 

Title: Notice to Employees of 

Coverage Options under Fair Labor 

Standards Act Section 18B. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection of 

information. 

OMB Control Number: 1210–0149. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households; Business or other for-profit; 

Not-for-profit institutions. 

Respondents: 6,160,461.

Description: Many provisions of the 

Patient Protection and Affordable Care 

Act (Affordable Care Act) that become 

effective beginning in 2014 are designed 

to expand access to affordable health 

coverage. These include provisions for 

coverage to be offered through a Health 

Insurance Marketplace (Marketplace), 

premium tax credits to assist 

individuals in purchasing such 

coverage, employer notice to employees 

of coverage options available through 

the Marketplace, and other related 

provisions. The Departments of Labor, 

Health and Human Services (HHS), and 

the Treasury are working together to 

develop coordinated regulations and 

other administrative guidance to assist 

stakeholders with implementation of the 

Affordable Care Act. 

Beginning January 1, 2014, 

individuals and employees of small 

businesses will have access to affordable 

coverage through a new competitive 

private health insurance market—the 

Health Insurance Marketplace. The 

Marketplace offers one-stop shopping to 

find and compare private health 

insurance options. Open enrollment for 

health insurance coverage through the 

Marketplace begins October 1, 2013. 

Section 1512 of the Affordable Care 

Act creates a new Fair Labor Standards 

Act (FLSA) section 18B requiring a 

notice to employees of coverage options 

available through the Marketplace. On 

May 8, 2013, the Department issued 

Technical Release 2013–2, which 

provides temporary guidance regarding 

the notice requirement under FLSA 

section 18B and announces the 

availability of the Model Notice to 

Employees of Coverage Options. 

On May 10, 2013, the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

approved the model notice under OMB 

Control Number 1210–0149 pursuant to 

the emergency procedures for review 

and clearance in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. 

L. 104–13, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35) and 5 

CFR 1320.13. OMB approval of the 

revision currently is scheduled to expire 

on November 30, 2013. 

Agency: Employee Benefits Security 

Administration, Department of Labor. 

Title: Annual Funding Notice for 

Defined Benefit Plans. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection of 

information. 

OMB Control Number: 1210–0126. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households; Business or other for-profit; 

Not-for-profit institutions. 

Respondents: 27,534. 

Responses: 77,989,123. 

Estimated Total Burden Hours:

Estimated Total Burden Cost 

(Operating and Maintenance): 

$26,845,755. 

Description: On July 6, 2012, 

President Barrack Obama signed the 

Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st 

Century Act (MAP–21). The new law 

provides funding interest-rate 

stabilization for single employer defined 

benefit (DB) plans, effective for plan 

years beginning on and after January 1, 

2012. To counter the current low 

interest rates that are triggering 

significantly larger pension 

contributions for many plan sponsors, 

the MAP–21 sets a floor (or ceiling) for 

the interest rates that single employer 


emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with NOTICES
49772 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 158 / Thursday, August 15, 2013 / Notices 

DB plan administrators generally are 

required to use to calculate 

contributions. Under the new rules, the 

generally required interest rates are 

limited to rates that are within a 

specified range, or corridor, above or 

below a 25-year average for the rates. 

Employee Retirement Income Security 

Act of 1974 (ERISA) section 101(f) sets 

forth the requirements for plan 

administrators of most single-employer 

DB plans to furnish annual funding 

notices to the PBGC, plan participants 

and beneficiaries, and each labor 

organization representing such 

participants or beneficiaries. MAP–21 

section 40211(b)(2)(A) has amended 

ERISA section 101(f)(2), by adding a 

new subparagraph (D), to require singleemployer DB plan administrators to 

disclose additional information in the 

annual funding notice for a plan year 

beginning after December 31, 2011, and 

before January 1, 2015, regarding the 

effect of the MAP–21 segment rate 

stabilization rules on plan liabilities and 

the plan sponsor’s minimum required 

contributions to the plan. MAP–21 

section 40211(b)(2)(B) requires the 

Department to modify the model annual 

funding notice required under Pension 

Protection Act of 2006 (PPA) section 

501(c) to include, prominently, the 

supplemental information required 

under new ERISA section 101(f)(2)(D). 

On March 8, 2013, the Department 

released EBSA Field Assistance Bulletin 

(FAB) 2013–01 concerning the new 

disclosure requirements mandated the 

MAP–21. The FAB addresses a need for 

interim guidance pending the adoption 

of regulations or other guidance under 

ERISA section 101(f), as amended by the 

MAP–21. The FAB sets forth technical 

questions and answers and provides a 

model supplement that plan 

administrators may use to discharge 

their MAP–21 disclosure obligations 

and provides that, pending further 

guidance and as a matter of enforcement 

policy, the Department will treat a 

single employer DB plan administrator 

as satisfying MAP–21 requirements if 

the plan administrator complies with 

the guidance in the memorandum and 

otherwise acts in accordance with a 

good faith and reasonable interpretation 

of those requirements. 

On April 19, 2013, the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

approved the model supplement as a 

revision to OMB Control Number 1210– 

0126 under the emergency procedures 

for review and clearance in accordance 

with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995 (Pub. L. 104–13, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 

35) and 5 CFR 1320.13. OMB approval 

of the revision currently is scheduled to 

expire on December 31, 2013. 

Desired Focus of Comments 

The Department 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., by permitting electronic 

submissions of responses. 

Comments submitted in response to 

this notice will be summarized and/or 

included in the ICR for OMB approval 

of the extension of the information 

collection; they will also become a 

matter of public record.
