Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 243 / Wednesday, December 20, 2023 / Notices 88139 

Under § 4262.10(g), a plan sponsor 

may, but is not required to, file a lockin application as a plan’s initial 

application. The lock-in application 

contains basic information about the 

plan and a statement of intent to lockin base data. PBGC needs the 

information in the lock-in application to 

ensure that a plan sponsor intends to 

lock-in the plan’s data. PBGC estimates 

that over the next 3 years an annual 

average of 6 plan sponsors will file lockin applications for SFA with an average 

annual hour burden of 6 (6 × 1) hours 

and an average annual cost burden of 

$4,800 (6 × $800). 

Under § 4262.16(i), a plan sponsor of 

a plan that has received SFA must file 

an Annual Statement of Compliance 

with the restrictions and conditions 

under section 4262 of ERISA and part 

4262 once every year through 2051. 

PBGC needs the information in the 

Annual Statement of Compliance to 

ensure that a plan is compliant with the 

imposed restrictions and conditions. 

PBGC estimates that over the next 3 

years an annual average of 150 plan 

sponsors will file Annual Statements of 

Compliance with an average annual 

hour burden of 300 (150 × 2) hours and 

an average annual cost burden of 

$360,000 (150 × $2,400). 

Under § 4262.15(c), a plan sponsor of 

a plan with benefits that were 

suspended under sections 305(e)(9) or 

4245(a) of ERISA must issue notices of 

reinstatement to participants and 

beneficiaries whose benefits were 

suspended and are being reinstated. 

Participants and beneficiaries need the 

notice of reinstatement to better 

understand the calculation and timing 

of their reinstated benefits and, if 

applicable, make-up payments. PBGC 

estimates that over the next 3 years an 

average of 2 plans per year will be 

required to send notices to participants 

with suspended benefits. PBGC 

estimates that these notices will impose 

an average annual hour burden of 4 (2 

× 2) hours and average annual cost 

burden of $4,000 (2 × $2,000). 

Finally, under § 4262.16(d), (f), (g) 

and (h) a plan sponsor must file a 

request for a determination from PBGC 

for approval for an exception under 

certain circumstances for SFA 

conditions under § 4262.16 relating to 

reductions in contributions, transfers or 

mergers, and withdrawal liability. PBGC 

needs the information required for a 

request for determination to determine 

whether to approve an exception from 

the specified condition of receiving 

SFA. PBGC estimates that over the next 

3 years, PBGC will receive an average of 

4.2 requests per year for determinations. 

PBGC estimates an average annual hour 

burden of 13.6 hours and average 

annual cost burden of $33,000. 

The estimated aggregate average 

annual hour burden for the next 3 years 

for the information collection in part 

4262 is 863.6 (540 + 6 + 300 + 4 + 13.6) 

hours for employer and fund office 

administrative, clerical, and supervisory 

time. The estimated aggregate average 

annual cost burden for the next 3 years 

for the information collection request in 

part 4262 is $1,931,800 ($1,530,000 + 

$4,800 + $360,000 + $4,000 + $33,000) 

for approximately 4,830 contract hours 

assuming an average hourly rate of $400 

for work done by outside actuaries and 

attorneys. The actual hour burden and 

cost burden per plan will vary 

depending on plan size and other 

factors. 

The collection of information under 

the regulation has been approved by 

OMB under control number 1212–0074 

(expires May 31, 2024). PBGC intends to 

request that OMB extend its approval of 

the collection of information without 

change for 3 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 is soliciting public comments 

to— 

• 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 

methodologies 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As 

required by the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995, as amended (44 U.S.C. 

chapter 35), OPM is soliciting comments 

for this collection. This information 

collection was previously published in 

the Federal Register on March 21, 2023, 

at 88 FR 17042, allowing for a 60-day 

public comment period. No comments 

were received for this information 

collection. The purpose of this notice is 

to allow an additional 30 days for public 

comments. 

In accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, this notice 

announces that OPM intends to submit 

to the Office of Management and Budget 

a request for review of a previously 

approved emergency collection for USA 

Staffing’s Onboarding features. USA 

Staffing is OPM’s talent acquisition 

solution. Federal agencies use USA 

Staffing to onboard candidates for

Final Rules Relating to Non-Public Information, 

June 27, 2018, Attachment A at 19–22 (Order No. 

4679). 

Federal positions while complying with 

appropriate rules and procedures. 

Federal agencies purchase the services 

of USA Staffing through an Interagency 

Agreement (IAA) under the provisions 

of the Revolving Fund, 5 U.S.C. 

1304(e)(1), which permits OPM to 

perform human resources management 

services for Federal agencies on a costrecovery basis. 

USA Staffing’s public facing web page 

for new hires provides a single interface 

to submit data and forms required 

during the Federal onboarding process. 

New Hires are individuals selected for 

Federal employment but who have not 

yet entered on duty and who 

authenticate at USA Staffing using their 

USAJOBS.gov accounts. USA Staffing 

captures the essential information 

Federal agencies require to onboard 

applicants for Federal jobs under the 

authority of 5 U.S.C. 1104, 1302, 3301– 

3320, 3361, 3393, and 3394. 

This information collection was 

initially approved under an emergency 

authorization in pursuit of compliance 

with Executive Order (E.O.) 14043, 

titled ‘‘Requiring Coronavirus Disease 

2019 Vaccination for Federal 

Employees.’’ This action seeks to 

reinstate the information collection 

independent of that Executive Order 

and instead focus on the regular 

business of the USA Staffing 

Onboarding system—gathering new hire 

information in pursuit of timely and 

efficient entry-on-duty actions. 

Some New Hire information elements 

collected by USA Staffing are collected 

under different OMB control numbers. 

Information for these elements that have 

their own approvals (such as the OF 306 

and I–9 forms) are not included in this 

collection. The subject of this 

information collection includes 

questions about basic identity, 

employment and service background, 

benefits enrollments, and payroll. The 

initial emergency clearance did not 

distinguish between these two contexts. 

The Office of Management and Budget 

is particularly interested in comments 

that: 

1. 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; 

2. 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; 

3. Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

4. 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 submissions 

of responses.
