BILLING CODE 7590–01–P 

PENSION BENEFIT GUARANTY 

CORPORATION 

Proposed Submission of Information 

Collection for OMB Review; Comment 

Request; Locating and Paying 

Participants 

AGENCY: Pension Benefit Guaranty 

Corporation. 

ACTION: Notice of intent to request OMB 

approval of modifications to 

information collection. 

SUMMARY: The Pension Benefit Guaranty 

Corporation (‘‘PBGC’’) intends to 

request that the Office of Management 

and Budget (‘‘OMB’’) approve 

modifications to a collection of 

information under the Paperwork 

Reduction Act. The purpose of the 

information collection is to enable the 

PBGC to pay benefits to participants and 

beneficiaries. This notice informs the 

public of PBGC’s intent and solicits 

public comment on the collection of 

information, as modified. 

DATES: Comments should be submitted 

by June 29, 2012. 

ADDRESSES: Comments may be 

submitted by any of the following 

methods: 

Federal eRulemaking Portal: http:// 

www.regulations.gov. Follow the Web 

site instructions for submitting

paperwork.comments@pbgc.gov. 

Fax: 202–326–4224. 

Mail or Hand Delivery: Legislative and

Guaranty Corporation, 1200 K Street

to this collection of information are

www.pbgc.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jo 

Amato Burns, Attorney, or Catherine B. 

Klion, Manager, Regulatory and Policy 

Division, Legislative and Regulatory 

Department, Pension Benefit Guaranty 

Corporation, 1200 K Street NW.,

4024. (For TTY and TDD, call 800–877– 

8339 and ask to be connected to 202– 

326–4024.) 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PBGC 

intends to request that OMB approve 

modifications to a collection of 

information needed to pay participants 

and beneficiaries who may be entitled to 

pension benefits under defined benefit 

plans that have terminated. The 

collection consists of information 

participants and beneficiaries are asked 

to provide in connection with an 

application for benefits. In addition, in 

some instances, as part of an effort to 

identify participants and beneficiaries 

who may be entitled to benefits, PBGC 

requests individuals to provide 

identifying information that the 

individual would provide as part of an 

initial contact with PBGC. All requested 

information is needed to enable PBGC to 

determine benefit entitlements and to 

make appropriate payments. 

The information collection includes 

My Pension Benefit Account (My PBA), 

an application on PBGC’s Web site, 

http://www.pbgc.gov, through which 

plan participants and beneficiaries may 

conduct electronic transactions with 

PBGC, including applying for pension 

benefits, designating a beneficiary, 

granting a power of attorney, electing 

monthly payments, electing to withhold 

income tax from periodic payments, 

changing contact information, and 

applying for electronic direct deposit. 

PBGC intends to add two new forms 

to the information collection and 

modify several existing forms to 

conform to recent changes in PBGC and 

Treasury regulations. The new forms are 

Form 710C (application for payment by 

check) and Form 721T (tax election for 

non-rollover eligible payment to 

beneficiary or estate). 

PBGC intends to modify the following 

forms: 

• Form 718 (installment payment 

agreement). The modifications will 

conform to changes in PBGC’s 

regulation on debt collection, 29 CFR 

part 4903. 

• Forms 700, 705, and 706 (benefit 

application forms for participants and 

beneficiaries) and Form 710 (application 

for electronic direct deposit). The 

modifications will conform to the 

Department of Treasury’s regulation on 

electronic funds transfer, 31 CFR part 

208. 

• Form 721 (application for lumpsum payment for non-spouse 

beneficiary or estate). The modification 

results from the introduction of Form 

721T. 

In addition, PBGC is making 

clarifying, simplifying, editorial, and 

other changes to other forms in the 

information collection. 

The existing collection of information 

under the regulation was approved 

under OMB control number 1212–0055 

(expires September 30, 2013). The PBGC 

intends to request that OMB extend its 

approval (with modifications) for three 

years. An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information 

unless it displays a currently valid OMB 

control number. 

PBGC estimates the total annual 

burden associated with this collection of 

information is 87,491 hours and $2,303 

for the fiscal years 2013–2015. The 

burden estimate includes 84,101 hours 

for participants in plans covered by the 

PBGC insurance program. The 

remaining hourly burden is attributable 

to participants that will be covered by 

the expanded Missing Participants 

program under Pension Protection Act 

of 2006 amendments to ERISA, once 

final regulations are issued to 

implement the program. The cost 

burden for FY2013 when the expanded 

program is not in effect is estimated to 

be $2,222; for fiscal years 2014 and 2015 

when the expanded program is expected 

to be in effect, $2,319 and $2,368, 

respectively. 

PBGC is soliciting public comments 

to— 

• Evaluate whether the 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 

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 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.
