26952 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 90 / Monday, May 11, 2015 / Notices 

Court for the Western District of 

Michigan in the lawsuit entitled United 

States v. Merit Energy Company, Civil 

Action No. 1:15–cv–00455. 

The Consent Decree addresses alleged 

violations of the Clean Air Act, 42 

U.S.C. 7401, et seq., and its 

implementing regulations at an onshore 

natural gas processing plant in 

Kalkaska, Michigan that is owned and 

operated by Merit Energy Company 

(‘‘Merit’’). The United States alleges that 

Merit failed to comply with certain 

requirements governing the control of 

hazardous air pollutant emissions under 

Section 111 of the Clean Air Act, 42 

U.S.C. 7411, and the implementing 

regulations at: (i) 40 CFR part 60, 

subpart KKK (Standards of Performance 

for Equipment Leaks of Volatile Organic 

Compounds From Onshore Natural Gas 

Processing Plants); (ii) 40 CFR part 60, 

subpart VV (Standards of Performance 

for Equipment Leaks of VOC in the 

Synthetic Organic Chemicals 

Manufacturing Industry); and (iii) 40 

CFR part 60, Appendix A (Method-21 

Determination of VOC Leaks) 

The proposed Consent Decree would 

resolve the claims alleged in the United 

States’ Complaint in exchange for the 

Defendant’s commitment to implement 

appropriate injunctive relief and pay a 

civil penalty of $850,000. Among other 

things, the injunctive relief provisions 

of the Consent Decree would require 

Merit to implement an enhanced leak 

detection and repair program at its 

Kalkaska, Michigan natural gas 

processing plant.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR 

seeks to extend PRA authority for the 

Annual Return/Report of Employee 

Benefit Plan information collection. The 

Annual Return/Report of Employee 

Benefit Plan, Form 5500, is the primary 

source of information concerning the 

operation, funding, assets, and 

investments of pension and other 

employee benefit plans. In addition to 

being an important disclosure document 

for plan participants and beneficiaries, 

Form 5500 is a compliance and research 

tool for the EBSA, Pension Benefit 

Guaranty Corporation, and Internal 

Revenue Service. It is also a source of 

information for use by other Federal 

agencies, Congress, and the private 

sector in assessing employee benefit, 

tax, and economic trends and policies. 

Employee Retirement Income Security 

Act of 1974 section 103 authorizes this 

information collection. See 29 U.S.C. 

1023 

This information collection is subject 

to the PRA. A Federal agency generally 

cannot conduct or sponsor a collection 

of information, and the public is 

generally not required to respond to an 

information collection, unless it is 

approved by the OMB under the PRA 

and displays a currently valid OMB 

Control Number. In addition, 

notwithstanding any other provisions of 

law, no person shall generally be subject 

to penalty for failing to comply with a 

collection of information that does not 

display a valid Control Number. See 5 

CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL 

obtains OMB approval for this 

information collection under Control 

Number 1210–0110. 

OMB authorization for an ICR cannot 

be for more than three (3) years without 

renewal, and the current approval for 

this collection is scheduled to expire on 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 90 / Monday, May 11, 2015 / Notices 26953 

May 31, 2015. The DOL seeks to extend 

PRA authorization for this information 

collection for three (3) more years, 

without any change to existing 

requirements. The DOL notes that 

existing information collection 

requirements submitted to the OMB 

receive a month-to-month extension 

while they undergo review. For 

additional substantive information 

about this ICR, see the related notice 

published in the Federal Register on 

November 10, 2014 (79 FR 66741). 

Interested parties are encouraged to 

send comments to the OMB, Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs at 

the address shown in the ADDRESSES

section within thirty (30) days of 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register. In order to help ensure 

appropriate consideration, comments 

should mention OMB Control Number 

1210–0110. The OMB 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., permitting electronic submission of 

responses.
