IV. Backfitting, Forward Fitting, and 

Issue Finality 

DG–1380, if finalized, would not 

constitute backfitting as defined in 

section 50.109 of title 10 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (10 CFR), 

‘‘Backfitting,’’ and as described in NRC 

Management Directive (MD) 8.4, 

‘‘Management of Backfitting, Forward 

Fitting, Issue Finality, and Information 

Requests’’ (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML18093B087); constitute forward 

fitting as that term is defined and 

described in MD 8.4; or affect the issue 

finality of any approval issued under 10 

CFR part 52, ‘‘Licenses, Certificates, and 

Approvals for Nuclear Power Plants.’’ 

The guidance would not apply to any 

current licensees or applicants or 

existing or requested approvals under 

10 CFR part 52, and 

therefore, its issuance cannot be a 

backfit or forward fit or affect issue 

finality. Further, as explained in DG– 

1380, applicants and licensees would 

not be required to comply with the 

positions set forth in DG–1380.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation 

(PBGC) intends to request that the Office 

of Management and Budget (OMB) 

extend approval, under the Paperwork 

Reduction Act, of a collection of 

information that filers use to request 

that PBGC determine whether a defined 

benefit pension plan is covered under 

title IV of the Employee Retirement 

Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). 

(OMB control number 1212–0072; 

expires June 30, 2022). This notice 

informs the public of PBGC’s intent and 

solicits public comment on the 

collection of information. 

A plan is covered under title IV, and 

thereby insured by PBGC, if it is 

described in section 4021(a) of ERISA 

and does not meet one of the 

exemptions from coverage listed in 

section 4021(b)(1)–(13). If a question 

arises about whether a plan is covered 

under title IV, a plan may submit the 

Request for Coverage Determination 

form to PBGC. 

The Request for Coverage 

Determination form and corresponding 

instructions are suitable for all types of 

requests, but they highlight the four 

plan types for which coverage 

determinations are most frequently 

requested: (1) Church plans as listed in 

section 4021(b)(3) of ERISA; (2) plans 

that are established and maintained 

exclusively for the benefit of plan 

sponsors’ substantial owners as listed in 

section 4021(b)(9); (3) plans covering, 

since September 2, 1974, no more than 

25 active participants that are 

established and maintained by 

professional services employers as listed 

in section 4021(b)(13); and (4) Puerto 

Rico-based plans within the meaning of 

section 1022(i)(1) of ERISA. PBGC needs 

the information requested to determine 

whether a plan is covered or not 

covered under title IV of ERISA. 

PBGC is proposing editorial and 

formatting changes to question 1 and 2 

of Part II of the form. These revisions are 

intended to provide greater clarity to 

filers. In addition, PBGC is proposing to 

add a new question to Part II inquiring 

about the number of eligible 

participants with no accrued benefit. 

This addition is intended to garner a 

more accurate count of a plan’s 

participants. Finally, PBGC is amending 

Question 4 of Part III applicable to a 

plan seeking a determination as a 

substantial owners plan. Under the 

amendment, a plan will need to provide 

the dates when participants separated 

from service, in addition to dates and 

amounts of payment to them. This 

addition is intended to allow PBGC to 

properly count payees who may still be 

participants in a plan even after 

distributions have occurred. 

The collection of information has 

been approved under OMB control 

number 1212–0072 (expires June 31, 

2022). PBGC intends to request that 

OMB extend its approval, with 

modifications, for another 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 each year there 

will be 310 Request for Coverage 

Determination forms submitted to 

PBGC. PBGC further estimates the 

average hour burden is 1.5 hours and 

average cost burden is $300. The total 

estimated annual burden of the 

collection of information is 465 hours 

and $93,000. 

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.
