SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR 

seeks to extend PRA authority for the 

Employee Retirement Income Security 

Act of 1974 (ERISA) Technical Release 

1991–1 information collection. The 

subject information collection 

requirements arise from ERISA section 

101(e), which establishes notice 

requirements that must be satisfied 

before an employer may transfer excess 

assets from a defined benefit pension 

plan to a retiree health benefit account, 

as permitted under conditions set forth 

in Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as 

amended section 420. See 29 U.S.C. 

1021(e); 26 U.S.C. 420. ERISA section 

101(e) notice requirements are two-fold. 

First, subsection (e)(1) requires a plan 

administrator to provide advance 

written notification of any such transfer 

to participants and beneficiaries. 

Second, subsection (e)(2)(A) requires an 

employer to provide advance written 

notification of any such transfer to the 

Secretaries of Labor and the Treasury, 

the plan administrator, and each 

employee organization representing 

participants in the plan. Both notices 

must be given at least sixty (60) days 

before the transfer date. The two 

subsections prescribe the information to 


sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES
44906 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 171 / Tuesday, September 4, 2018 / Notices 

be included in each type of notice and 

further authorize the Secretary of Labor 

to prescribe (1) how notice to 

participants and beneficiaries must be 

given and (2) any additional reporting 

requirements deemed necessary. 

ERISA Technical Release 91–1 

provides guidance on how to satisfy the 

subject ERISA notice requirements. The 

Release made two changes in the 

statutory requirements for the second 

type of notice. First, it required the 

notice to include a filing date and the 

intended asset transfer date. The Release 

also simplified the statutory filing 

requirements by providing that filing 

with the DOL would be deemed 

sufficient notice to both the DOL and 

the Department of the Treasury. ERISA 

section 101(e) authorizes this 

information collection. See 29 U.S.C. 

1021(e). 

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 1210–0084. 

OMB authorization for an ICR cannot 

be for more than three (3) years without 

renewal, and 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 

April 11, 2018 (83 FR 15635). 

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 

1210–0084. 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.
