SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Each State Workforce Agency Office 

has been required to submit the VETS 

300 and Manager’s Reports on a 

quarterly basis, with one additional 

VETS 300, Final Fiscal Year Report. 

With the passage of Public Law 107–

288, the Jobs for Veterans Act of 2002, 

enacted November 7, 2002, the quarterly 

and final VETS–300 Cost Accounting 

Reports are no longer required to be 

submitted. The OMB approved SF 269A 

Quarterly Financial Report contains 

sufficient information to replace the 

VETS–300 Reports. The VETS–300 

reports will, therefore, be eliminated 

when the current form expires in 

December of 2004. 

Title 38 U.S.C. requires a report on 

employment and training services 

provided to veterans and eligible 

persons by the local employment 

service delivery system. This report is 

provided to the Director for Veterans’

Employment and Training (DVET) each 

fiscal quarter. It addresses the service 

delivery point’s performance and 

compliance with Federal law and 

regulations on the prioritization and 

provision of services to veterans and 

eligible persons. Section V. G. of the 

Special Grant Provisions and Veterans’

Program Letter 09–03, require this 

report to include, as a minimum, an 

analysis of compliance with applicable 

measures of service or standards of 

performance and the quantity, quality 

and character of services provided to 

veterans and eligible persons, to include 

Vocational Rehabilitation and 

Employment activity. 

II. Desired Focus of Comments 

Currently VETS is soliciting 

comments concerning the proposed 

three-year extension of the information 

collection request for the Manager’s 

Report. The Department of Labor is 

particularly interested in comments 

which: 

• 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 submissions 

of responses. 

III. Current Actions 

This notice requests extended 

approval from OMB for the quarterly 

collection of information, electronic or 

mechanical submission, and other 

paperwork requirements of the 

Manager’s Report on Services to 

Veterans. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection.

Training Service.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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. OMB has approved and issued 

control numbers for the collections of 

information, described below, in the 

PBGC’s regulations relating to 

multiemployer plans. The PBGC intends 

to request that OMB extend its approval 

of these collections of information for 

three years. 

The PBGC is soliciting public 

comments to—

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

collections of information are 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 collections of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodologies and assumptions used; 

• Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

• Minimize the burden of the 

collections 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. 

Comments should identify the 

specific part number(s) of the 

regulation(s) they relate to. 

The collections of information for 

which the PBGC intends to request 

extension of OMB approval are as 

follows: 

1. Termination of Multiemployer Plans 

(29 CFR Part 4041A) (OMB Control 

Number 1212–0020) 

Section 4041A(f)(2) of ERISA 

authorizes the PBGC to prescribe 

reporting requirements for and other 

‘‘rules and standards for the 

administration of’’ terminated 

multiemployer plans. Section 4041A(c) 

and (f)(1) of ERISA prohibit the payment 

by a mass-withdrawal-terminated plan 

of lump sums greater than $1,750 or of 

nonvested plan benefits unless 

authorized by the PBGC. 

The regulation requires the plan 

sponsor of a terminated plan to submit 

a notice of termination to the PBGC. It 

also requires the plan sponsor of a masswithdrawal-terminated plan that is
