PENSION BENEFIT GUARANTY 

CORPORATION 

Submission of Information Collection 

for OMB Review; Comment Request; 

Locating and Paying Participants 

AGENCY: Pension Benefit Guaranty 

Corporation. 

ACTION: Notice of request for extension 

of OMB approval. 

SUMMARY: The Pension Benefit Guaranty 

Corporation (PBGC) is requesting that 

the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) extend approval, with 

modifications, to a collection of 

information under the Paperwork 

Reduction Act. The purpose of the 

information collection is to enable 

PBGC to pay benefits to participants and 

beneficiaries. This notice informs the 

public of PBGC’s request and solicits 

public comment on the collection. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted by 

September 10, 2018. 

ADDRESSES: Comments should be sent to 

the Office of Information and Regulatory 

Affairs, Office of Management and 

Budget, Attention: Desk Officer for 

Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, 

via electronic mail at OIRA_DOCKET@

omb.eop.gov or by fax to (202) 395– 

6974. 

A copy of the request will be posted 

on PBGC’s website at https://

www.pbgc.gov/prac/laws-andregulations/information-collectionsunder-omb-review. It may also be

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

information collection is needed to pay 

participants and beneficiaries who may 

be entitled to pension benefits from 

plans that have terminated. It consists of 

information participants and 

beneficiaries are asked to provide in 

connection with an application for 

benefits. In addition, in some instances, 

PBGC requests individuals to provide 

identifying information so that it may 

determine whether the individuals may 

be entitled to benefits. All requested 

information is needed so that PBGC may 

determine benefit entitlements and 

make appropriate payments. 

This information collection includes 

My Pension Benefit Account (MyPBA), 

an application on PBGC’s website, 

http://www.pbgc.gov, through which 

plan participants and beneficiaries may 

conduct electronic transactions with 

PBGC, including applying for pension 

benefits, designating a beneficiary, 

electing monthly payments, electing to 

withhold income tax from periodic 

payments, changing contact 

information, and applying for electronic 

direct deposit. 

PBGC is proposing to revise one form 

in this collection, the Power of Attorney 

Form (Form 715). The proposed revision 

would include: 

• Features previously unavailable— 

granting a durable power of attorney 

(DPOA) in addition to a nondurable 

power of attorney (NDPOA), and 

allowing a principal to name up to three 

agents to act on her behalf with PBGC 

(and to designate whether the agents 

have independent or joint authority), 

whereas the current form only has room 

for one agent to be named; 

• Features that would protect the 

principal—heightened requirements for 

granting authority and for executing the 

document (i.e., the principal’s signature 

must be witnessed and notarized, and 

witnesses must meet certain criteria); 

and 

• A ‘‘Notice to the Principal,’’ to alert 

the principal about what powers she is 

granting to a designated agent, and an 

‘‘Agent’s Acknowledgement’’ to inform 

the agent about her duties and liabilities 

with respect to handling the principal’s 

affairs. 

PBGC believes these revisions provide 

greater flexibility and greater 

protections against fraud for customers 

using the Form 715. Customers are not 

required to use this form and can use 

other DPOAs or NDPOAs that comply 

with applicable state laws. 

The existing collection of information 

was approved under OMB control 

number 1212–0055 (expires March 31, 

2019). On May 16, 2018, PBGC 

published in the Federal Register (at 83 

FR 22715) a notice informing the public 

of its intent to request an extension of 

this collection of information, as 

modified. No comments were received. 

PBGC is requesting that OMB extend 

approval of the collection (with 

modifications to the Form 715) for three 

years. An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information 

unless it displays a currently valid OMB 

control number. 

PBGC estimates that it will receive 

175,397 benefit applications and 

information forms annually. The total 

annual burden associated with this 

collection of information is estimated to 

be 108,440 hours (approximately one 

hour for benefit applications and 30 

minutes for information forms) and an 

estimated $56,711, which is the total 

average maximum cost of notary 

services for spousal consents on benefit 

applications and for the Form 715. 

PBGC estimates that 710 out of the 

175,397 applications and forms 

submitted annually are Form 715, and 

that the total annual burden to complete 

the Form 715 would be approximately 

355 hours and $2,485. 

Issued in Washington, DC.

Deputy Assistant General Counsel for 

Regulatory Affairs, Pension Benefit Guaranty 

Corporation.
