National Endowment for the Arts; 

Proposed Collection: Comment 

Request 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The National Endowment for 

the Arts, as part of its continuing effort 

to reduce paperwork and respondent 

burden, conducts a preclearance 

consultation program to provide the 

general public and Federal agencies 

with an opportunity to comment on 

proposed and/or continuing collections 

of information in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA95) [44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(A)]. This 

program helps ensure that requested 

data can be provided in the desired 

format, reporting burden (time and 

financial resources) is minimized, 

collection instruments are clearly 

understood, and the impact of collection 

requirements on respondents can be 

properly assessed. Currently, the 

National Endowment for the Arts, on 

behalf of the Federal Council on the 

Arts and the Humanities, is soliciting 

comments concerning renewal of the 

Application for Indemnification. A copy 

of this collection request can be 

obtained by contacting the office listed 

below in the address section of this 

notice. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

submitted to the office listed in the 

address section below on or before 

September 17, 2007. The National 

Endowment for the Arts 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 the use of 

appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms 

of information technology, e.g., 

permitting the electronic submissions 

of responses.

Act of 1974, as amended by the Pension

purposes under ERISA and the Internal 

Revenue Code of 1986.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

The Pension Protection Act of 2006 

The Pension Protection Act of 2006 

(‘‘PPA 2006’’), Public Law 109–280, 120 

Stat. 780, became law on August 17, 

2006, and amended the Employee 

Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 

(‘‘ERISA’’) and the Internal Revenue 

Code of 1986 (the ‘‘Code’’). ERISA and 

the Code, as amended by section 1106 

of PPA 2006, was further amended by 

section 6611(a) of the fiscal year 2007 

supplemental appropriations legislation, 

Public Law 110–28, 121 Stat. 112, 

which became law on May 25, 2007. 

Reference in this document to any 

ERISA provision should be construed to 

include reference to any parallel 

provision in section 414(f) of the Code. 

Election of Multiemployer Plan Status 

Generally 

Section 1106 of PPA amended the 

definition of a ‘‘multiemployer plan’’

under ERISA and the Code to allow 

certain plans to elect to be 

multiemployer plans, pursuant to 

procedures prescribed by PBGC. An 

eligible plan may elect to be a 

multiemployer plan for all purposes 

under ERISA and the Code, provided 

that PBGC procedures are followed and 

the election is made on or before August 

17, 2007. Under Public Law 110–28, an 

election is effective starting with any 

plan year beginning on or after January 

1, 1999, and ending before January 1, 

2008, as designated by the plan in its 

election. No later than 30 days before an 

election is made, the plan administrator 

must give notice of the pending election 

to each plan participant and beneficiary, 

each labor organization representing 

such participants or beneficiaries, and 

each employer that has an obligation to 

contribute to the plan. (See Model 

Notice of Pending Election Regarding 

Plan’s Status issued by the Department 

of Labor, http://www.dol.gov/ebsa/regs/ 

fedreg/notices/2006009491.htm.) In 

order to be eligible for the election, a 

plan must satisfy the requirements of 

section 3(37)(G)(i)(I) or section 

3(37)(G)(i)(II) of ERISA. 

Election To Revoke Single-Employer 

Plan Status 

Under section 3(37)(G)(i)(I) of ERISA, 

a plan may revoke an existing election 

under section 3(37)(E) to be treated as a 

single-employer plan. An election made 

under section 3(37)(G)(i)(I) is 

irrevocable. 

Section 3(37)(E) of ERISA, as 

amended by the Multiemployer Pension 

Plan Amendments Act of 1980, 

permitted a plan that was excluded from 

multiemployer status under the prior 

contributions test,1 and that would 

otherwise be a multiemployer plan, to 

continue its single-employer status. To 

do so, a plan was required to follow
