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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Interview Survey Form, INV 10, is a 

questionnaire that OPM mails to a 

random sampling of record and personal 

sources contacted during background 

investigations when investigators have 

performed fieldwork. The INV 10 is 

used as a quality control instrument 

designed to ensure the accuracy and 

integrity of the investigative product, as 

it inquires of the sources about the 

investigative procedure employed by 

the investigator, the investigator’s 

professionalism, and the information 

discussed and reported. In addition to 

the preformatted response options, OPM 

invites the recipients to respond with 

any other relevant comments or 

suggestions. It is estimated that 63,869 

individuals will respond annually. The 

INV 10 takes approximately 6 minutes 

to complete. The annual estimated 

burden is 6,387 hours. 

The 60-day Federal Register Notice 

was published in the Federal Register 

on February 3, 2012 (Federal Register 

Notices/Vol. 77, Number 23, page 5581). 

One (1) recommendation was received 

from the Department of Interior, 

suggesting that OPM provide a survey 

link, via the internet, to provide the INV 

10 recipient an alternative, response 

option that would also support the 

Paperwork Reduction Act efforts. OPM 

did not accept the recommendation at 

this time but will consider the 

recommendation for future versions.
