SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR 

is to maintain PRA authorization for 

regulations that provide guidance on the 

content, frequency, and manner of 

certain disclosures the Employee 

Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, 

as Amended requires employee benefit 

plans periodically to furnish to plan 

participants and certain specified plan 

beneficiaries. Benefit plans use 

Summary Plan Descriptions, Summaries 

of Material Modifications, and 

Summaries of Material Reductions to 

make the disclosures. 

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 1210–0039. The current 

approval is scheduled to expire on April 

30, 2013; however, it should be noted 

that existing information collection 

requirements submitted to the OMB 

receive a month-to-month extension 

while they undergo review. For 

additional information, see the related 

notice published in the Federal Register 

on November 27, 2012 (77 FR 70828). 

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 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– 

0039. 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.

NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS 

ADMINISTRATION 

Records Schedules; Availability and 

Request for Comments 

AGENCY: National Archives and Records 

Administration (NARA). 

ACTION: Notice of availability of 

proposed records schedules; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The National Archives and 

Records Administration (NARA) 

publishes notice at least once monthly 

of certain Federal agency requests for 

records disposition authority (records 

schedules). Once approved by NARA, 

records schedules provide mandatory 

instructions on what happens to records 

when no longer needed for current 

Government business. They authorize 

the preservation of records of 

continuing value in the National 

Archives of the United States and the 

destruction, after a specified period, of 

records lacking administrative, legal, 

research, or other value. Notice is 

published for records schedules in 

which agencies propose to destroy 

records not previously authorized for 

disposal or reduce the retention period 

of records already authorized for 

disposal. NARA invites public 

comments on such records schedules, as 

required by 44 U.S.C. 3303a(a). 

DATES: Requests for copies must be 

received in writing on or before June 3, 

2013. Once the appraisal of the records 

is completed, NARA will send a copy of 

the schedule. NARA staff usually 

prepare appraisal memorandums that 

contain additional information 

concerning the records covered by a 

proposed schedule. These, too, may be 

requested and will be provided once the 

appraisal is completed. Requesters will 

be given 30 days to submit comments. 

ADDRESSES: You may request a copy of 

any records schedule identified in this
