SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Regulations 29 CFR 2550.401(c)–1 

imposes specific requirements on 

insurers that are parties to Transition 

Policies, in order to ensure fiduciaries 

acting on behalf of plans have adequate 

information and understanding of how 

the Transition Policies work. Certain of 

these requirements constitute 

information collections subject to the 

PRA. Specifically, to the extent a 

Transition Policy first issued prior to 

January 1, 1999, to or for the benefit of 

an employee benefit plan is not a 

guaranteed benefit policy, the insurer 

must annually disclose to the plan 

fiduciary: (1) The methods by which 

income and expenses of the insurer’s 

general account are allocated to the 

policy, the actual annual return to the 

plan, and other pertinent information; 

(2) the extent to which alternative 

arrangements supported by the assets of 

the insurer’s separate accounts are 

available; (3) any rights under the policy 

to transfer funds to a separate account 

and the terms governing such right; and 

(4) the extent to which support by assets 

of the insurer’s separate accounts might 

pose differing risks to the plan. 

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 if the 

collection of information does not 

display a valid OMB Control Number. 

See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The 

DOL obtains OMB approval for this 

information collection under OMB 

Control Number 1210–0114. The current 

OMB approval is scheduled to expire on 

March 31, 2012; 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 December 7, 2011 (76 FR 

76439). 

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 

reference OMB Control Number 1210– 

0114. 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.
