20503 ({202} 395–7316), within 30 days

from the date of this publication in the

Federal Register.

The OMB 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 submission of

responses.

Type of Review: Extension of a

currently approved collection.

Agency: Pension and Welfare Benefits

Administration.

Title: Prohibited Transaction Class

Exemption 94–20, Purchases and Sales

of Foreign Currencies.

OMB Number: 1210–0085.

Recordkeeping: Six years.

Affected Public: Individuals or

households; business or other for-profit;

not-for-profit institutions.

Frequency: On occasion.

Number of Respondents: 35.

Total Annual Responses: 175.

Estimated Time Per respondent: 5

Minutes.

Total Annual Burden: 15 Hours.

Total annualized capital/startup

costs: $0.

Total annual costs (operating/

maintaining systems or purchasing

services): $0.

Description: Prohibited Transaction

Class Exemption 94–20 permits the

purchase and sale of foreign currencies

between an employee benefit plan and

a bank or a broker-dealer or an affiliate

thereof that is a party in interest with

respect to such plan. In the absence of

this exemption, certain aspects of these

transactions could be prohibited by

section 406(a) of the Employee

Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

This ICR covers the recordkeeping

requirements for a bank, broker-dealer,

or affiliate thereof.

Type of Review: Extension of a

currently approved collection.

Agency: Pension and Welfare Benefits

Administration.

Title: Prohibited Transaction

Exemption 90–1—Pooled Separate

Accounts.

OMB Number: 1210–0083.

Recordkeeping: Six years.

Affected Public: Individuals or

households; business or other for-profit;

not-for-profit institutions.

Frequency: On occasion.

Number of Respondents: 128.

Total Annual Responses: 128.

Estimated Time Per respondent: 5

Minutes.

Total Annual Burden: 11 Hours.

Total annualized capital/startup

costs: $0.

Total annual costs (operating/

Description: Prohibited Transaction

Class Exemption 90–1 provides an

exemption from certain provisions of

the Employee Retirement Income

Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) for certain

transactions involving insurance

company pooled separate accounts in

which employee benefit plans

participate and which are otherwise

prohibited by ERISA. Specifically, the

exemption allows persons who are

parties in interest of a plan that invests

in a pooled separate account to engage

in transactions with the separate

account if the plan’s participation in the

separate account does not exceed

specified limits. For example, the

general exemption allows a service

provider, which also is a party in

interest to an employee benefit plan,

and an insurance company pooled

separate account in which the plan has

an interest, to engage in transactions if

the plan’s participation in the separate

account does not exceed specified

limits. This ICR covers the

recordkeeping requirements for

insurance companies.

Type of Review: Extension of a

currently approved collection.

Agency: Pension and Welfare Benefits

Administration.

Title: Definition of Plan Assets—

Participant Contributions.

OMB Number: 1210–0100.

Affected Public: Individuals or

households; business or other for-profit;

not-for-profit institutions

Frequency: On occasion.

Number of Respondents: 1.

Total Annual Responses: 1.

25504 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 85 / Tuesday, May 2, 2000 / Notices

Total Annual Burden: 3 Hours.

Total annualized capital/startup

costs: $0.

Total annual costs (operating/

maintaining systems or purchasing

services): $0

Description: Generally, the regulation

provides guidance for fiduciaries,

participants, and beneficiaries of

employee benefit plans on the

requirements for transmission of

employee contributions withheld from

wages. Specifically, this regulation

describes when certain monies, which a

participant pays to or has withheld by

an employer for contribution to an

employee benefit plan, are ‘‘plan assets’’

for purposes of title I of the Employee

Retirement Income Security Act of 1974

(ERISA) and the related prohibited

transaction provisions of the Internal

Revenue Code. The Regulation also

establishes a procedure (for pension

plans only) whereby an employer may

obtain an additional 10 business days to

comply with the contribution time

limits. This ICR covers the notification,

bonding, and certification requirements

for obtaining an extension.

Type of Review: Revision of a

currently approved collection.

Agency: Pension and Welfare Benefits

Administration.

Title: Prohibited Transaction Class

Exemption 76–1 and Prohibited

Transaction Class Exemption 77–10.

OMB Number: 1210–0058.

Recordkeeping: Six years.

Affected Public: Individuals or

households; business or other for-profit;

not-for-profit institutions.

Frequency: On occasion.

Number of Respondents: 3,187.

Total Annual Responses: 3,187.

Total Annual Burden: 797 Hours.

Total annualized capital/startup

costs: $0.

Total annual costs (operating/

maintaining systems or purchasing

services): $0.

Description: Prohibited Transaction

Class Exemption (PTCE) 76–1 provides

an exemption, under specified

conditions, from certain of ERISA’s

prohibited transaction provisions under

section 406(a) for various transactions

involving multi-employer or multiple

employer plans. Prohibited Transaction

Class Exemption (PTCE) 77–10

complements Part C of PTCE 76–1 in

that it provides an exemption under

certain conditions from section

406(b)(2) of ERISA in connection with

such transactions. PTCE 76–1, Part C

permits plans to lease office space and

provide administrative services or sell

goods to a participating employer or

union or to another plan. Section

406(b)(2) prohibits plan fiduciaries,

such as plan trustees, from acting in an

individual or any other capacity in a

transaction involving the plan on behalf

of a party whose interests are adverse to

those of the plan or its participants or

beneficiaries.

The Department has proposed

combining the information collection

provisions of both exemptions under

one OMB control number (OMB

Number 1210–0058) by incorporating

the information collection provisions of

PTCE 77–10 (OMB Number 1210–0081)

into the revision information collection

under OMB Number 1210–0058 and

allowing the control number for PTCE

77–10 to expire. The Department

believes the public will benefit by

having the opportunity to comment on

both information collection provisions

at the same time because PTCE 77–10 is

not likely to be used without its

counterpart, PTCE 76–1.

Type of Review: Extension of a

currently approved collection.

Agency: Occupational Safety and

Health Administration (OSHA).

Title: 1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane

(DBCP) Standard.

OMB Number: 1281–0101.

Frequency: On occasion.

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit; Federal Government; State, Local

or Tribal Government.

Number of Respondents: 0.

Total Annual Burden: 1 Hour.

Total annualized capital/startup

costs: $0.

Total annual costs (operating/

maintaining systems or purchasing

services): $0.

Description: The information

collection requirements in the DBCP

Standard provide protection for

employees from the adverse health

effects associated with exposure to

DBCP. In this regard, the DBCP

Standard requires employers to monitor

employees’ exposure to DBCP, monitor

employee health, and provide

employees with information about their

exposures and the health effects of

exposure to DBCP.

Agency: Mine Safety and Health

Administration (MSHA).

Title: Main Fan Maintenance Record.

Type of Review: Extension.

OMB Number: 1219–0012.

Frequency: On occasion.

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit.

Number of Respondents: 21.

Total Annual Responses: 7.

Estimated Time Per Respondent: 1.57

Hours.

Total Annual Burden: 11 Hours.

Total Annualized capital/startup

costs: $0.

Total annual costs (operating/

maintaining systems or purchasing

services): $0.

Description: Mine Operators are

required to keep main fans maintained

according to either manufacturers,

recommendations or a written periodic

schedule adopted by the mine operator.

The main fans are the major life support

system to the entire underground

mining operation. The air flow provided

by the fans assures fresh air to the

miners at working faces, reduces the

chance of the air reaching threshold

limit values of airborne contaminants,

and dilutes accumulations of possible

explosive gases.
