SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Employee 

Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 

(ERISA) section 105(a) requires an 

ERISA-covered individual account plan 

administrator to furnish periodic benefit 

statements to participants and 

beneficiaries. This new ICR seeks OMB 

approval to conduct a survey and an 

experiment on participants in an 

existing household American Life Panel 

(ALP) via the Internet and to conduct 

four focus groups of non-panel 

members. The survey and focus groups 

would explore whether information 

contained in sample benefit statements 

can be presented in a way that improves 

recipients’ understanding of the 

statements and helps them better plan 

for retirement. Specifically, the EBSA 

would collect data through four focus 

groups that will pretest the model 

benefits statements, each containing 

slightly different information, and a 

survey of 2,900 ALP respondents. For 

additional substantive information 

about this ICR, see the related notice 

published in the Federal Register on 

January 22, 2013 (78 FR 4458). 

This proposed 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. 

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 ICR Reference Number 

201305–1210–006. 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.

records lacking administrative, legal, 

research, or other value. Notice is 

published for records schedules in
