SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3507(a)(1)(D). 

The Patient Protection and Affordable 

Care Act provides rules regarding 

rescissions of health coverage for group 

health plans and health insurance 

issuers offering group or individual 

health insurance coverage. Under the 

statute and interim final regulations 

issued by the EBSA, a group health plan 

or a health insurance issuer offering 

group or individual health insurance 

coverage generally must not rescind 

coverage except in the case of fraud or 

an intentional misrepresentation of a 

material fact. Furthermore, coverage 

may not be cancelled unless prior notice 

is provided. Specifically, interim final 

regulations that the EBSA has 

promulgated provide that a group health 

plan or a health insurance issuer 

offering group health insurance 

coverage must provide at least 30 days 

advance notice to an individual before 

coverage may be rescinded. The notice 

must be provided regardless of whether 

the rescission is of group or individual 

coverage; or whether, in the case of 

group coverage, the coverage is insured 

or self-insured, or the rescission applies 

to an entire group or only to an 

individual within the group. 

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 1210–0141. 

OMB authorization for an ICR cannot 

be for more than three (3) years without 

renewal, and the current approval for 

this collection is scheduled to expire on 

February 28, 2014. 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 

November 29, 2013 (78 FR 71669). 

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– 

0141. 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.

Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3507(a)(1)(D). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR 

seeks to extend PRA authorization for 

the information collection requirements 

needed for the OLMS to administer 

Federal Transit Act section 5333(b) 

Urban Program worker protections. See 

49 U.S.C. 5333(b). Section 5333(b) 

provides that the DOL must ensure that 

a recipient of Federal funds used to 

acquire, improve, or operate a transit 

system establishes arrangements to 

protect the rights of affected transit 

employees. Federal law requires such an 

arrangement to be fair and equitable, 

and the DOL must certify the 

arrangement before the U.S. Department 

of Transportation, Federal Transit 

Administration (FTA) can award certain 

funds to grantees. An employee 

protective arrangement must include 

provisions that may be necessary for the 

preservation of rights, privileges, and 

benefits under existing collective 

bargaining agreements or otherwise; the 

continuation of collective bargaining 

rights; the protection of individual 

employees against a worsening of their 

positions related to employment; 

assurances of employment to employees 

of acquired transportation systems; 

assurances of priority of reemployment 

of employees whose employment is 

ended or who are laid off; and paid 

training or retraining programs. See 49 

U.S.C. 5333(b)(2). 

Pursuant to regulations 29 CFR part 

215, upon receipt of copies of 

applications for Federal assistance 

subject to 49 U.S.C. 5333(b) from the 

FTA, together with a request for DOL 

certification of employee protective 

arrangements, the DOL will process 

those applications, which must be in 

final form. The FTA will provide the 

DOL with information necessary to 

enable the DOL to process employee 

protections for certification of the 

project. 

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 1245–0006. 

OMB authorization for an ICR cannot 

be for more than three (3) years without 

renewal, and the current approval for 

this collection is scheduled to expire on 

March 31, 2014. 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
