SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

4043 of the Employee Retirement 

Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) 

requires plan administrators and plan 

sponsors to report certain plan and 

employer events to PBGC. The reporting 

requirements give PBGC notice of events 

that indicate plan or employer financial 

problems. PBGC uses the information 

provided to determine what, if any, 

action it needs to take. For example, 

PBGC might need to institute 

proceedings to terminate a plan (placing 

it in a trusteeship) under section 4042 

of ERISA to ensure the continued 

payment of benefits to plan participants 

and their beneficiaries or to prevent 

unreasonable increases in PBGC’s 

losses. 

The provisions of section 4043 of 

ERISA have been implemented in 

PBGC’s regulation on Reportable Events 

and Certain Other Notification 

Requirements (29 CFR part 4043). 

Form 10 

Subparts B and C of the regulation 

deal with reportable events. PBGC has 

issued Forms 10 and 10-Advance and 

related instructions under subparts B 

and C (approved under OMB control 

number 1212–0013). The existing 

collection of information was approved 

through July 31, 2024, under OMB 

control number 1212–0013. PBGC 

intends to request that OMB extend its 

approval of this collection 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 estimates that it will receive 

438 reportable event notices per year 

under subparts B and C of the reportable 

events regulation using Forms 10 and 

10-Advance and that the average annual 

burden of this collection of information 

is 1,377 hours and $326,310. 

Form 200 

Section 303(k) of the Employee 

Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 

(ERISA) and section 430(k) of the 

Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (Code) 

impose a lien in favor of an 

underfunded single-employer plan that 

is covered by PBGC’s termination 

insurance program is (1) any person 

fails to make a required payment when 

due, and (2) the unpaid balance of that 

payment (including interest), when 

added to the aggregated unpaid balance 

of all proceedings for which payment 

was not made when due (including 

interest), exceeds $1 million. (For this 

purpose, a plan is underfunded if its 

funding target attainment percentage is 

less than 100 percent.) The lien is upon 

all property and rights to property 

belonging to the person or persons that 

are liable for required contributions (i.e., 

a contributing sponsor and each 

member of the controlled group of 

which that contributing sponsor is a 

member). 

Only PBGC (or, at its direction, the 

plan’s contributing sponsor or a member 

of the same controlled group) may 

perfect and enforce this lien. ERISA and 

the Code require persons that fail to 

make payments to notify PBGC within 

10 days of the due date whenever there 

is a failure to make a required payment 

and the total of the unpaid balances 

(including interest) exceeds $1 million. 

PBGC Form 200, Notice of Failure to 

Make Required Contributions, and 

related instructions implement the 

statutory notification requirement. 

Submission of Form 200 is required by 

29 CFR 4043.81 (Subpart D of PBGC’s 

regulation on Reportable Events and 

Other Notification Requirements, 29 

CFR part 4043). OMB has approved this 

collection of information under OMB 

control number 1212–0041, which 

expires July 31, 2024. PBGC intends to 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
6558 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 22 / Thursday, February 1, 2024 / Notices 

request that OMB extend its approval of 

this collection 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 estimates that it will receive 60 

Form 200 filings per year and that the 

average annual burden of this collection 

of information is 60 hours and $43,500. 

PBGC is soliciting public comments 

to— 

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

collections of information are 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 collections 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 

collections 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.

Notice is hereby given that, pursuant 

to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities 

and Exchange Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting comments 

on the existing collection of information 

summarized below. The Commission 

plans to submit this existing collection 

of information to the Office of 

Management and Budget (‘‘OMB’’) for 

approval. 

The Commission is required under 

Section 342 of the Dodd Frank Wall 

Street and Reform Act to develop 

standards and processes for ensuring the 

fair inclusion of minority-owned and 

women-owned businesses in all of the 

Commission’s business activities. To 

help implement this requirement, the 

Office of Minority and Women 

Inclusion (OMWI) developed and 

maintains an electronic Supplier 

Diversity Business Management System 

(SDBMS) to collect up-to-date business 

information and capabilities statements 

from diverse suppliers interested in 

doing business with the Commission. 

This information allows the 

Commission to update and more 

effectively manage its current internal 

repository. It also allows the 

Commission to measure the 

effectiveness of its technical assistance 

and outreach efforts, and target areas 

where additional program efforts are 

necessary. 

The Commission invites comment on 

SDBMS. Information is collected in 

SDBMS via web-based, e-filed, dynamic 

form-based technology. The company 

point of contact completes a profile 

consisting of basic contact data and 

information on the capabilities of the 

business. The profile includes a series of 

questions, some of which are based on 

the data that the individual enters. 

Drop-down lists are included where 

appropriate to increase ease of use. 

Title of Collection: Supplier Diversity 

Business Management System. 

Type of Review: Request for 

Extension. 

Estimated Number of Respondents 

Annually: 300. 

Estimated Burden Hours per 

Respondent: 30 minutes. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 150 hours. 

Request for Comments: The comments 

submitted in response to this notice will 

be summarized and included in the 

request for OMB approval. All 

comments will become a matter of 

public record. Written comments are 

invited on: (a) whether this collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate 

of the burden imposed by the collection 

of information; (c) ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information collected; and (d) ways to 

minimize the burden of the collection of 

information on respondents, including 

through the use of automated collection 

techniques or other forms of information 

technology. Consideration will be given 

to comments and suggestions submitted 

by April 1, 2024. 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information 

under the PRA unless it displays a 

currently valid OMB control number.
