Corporation.

ACTION: Notice of intention to request

OMB approval.

SUMMARY: The Pension Benefit Guaranty

Corporation intends to request that the

Office of Management and Budget

approve a collection of information

under the Paperwork Reduction Act.

The purpose of this information

collection, which will be conducted

through customer satisfaction surveys,

is to help the agency assess the

efficiency and effectiveness with which

it serves participants in pension plans it

becomes trustee of, and to design

actions to address identified problems.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to

the Office of General Counsel, Pension

Benefit Guaranty Corporation, Suite

340, 1200 K St. NW., Washington, DC

20005–4026, or delivered to that address

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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.

The PBGC intends to request OMB

approval of a collection of information

consisting of customer satisfaction

surveys. The collection is in furtherance

of the goals described in Executive

Order 12862, Setting Customer Service

Standards, which states that, in order to

carry out the principles of the National

Performance Review, the Federal

Government must be customer-driven.

The Executive Order directs all

executive departments and agencies that

provide significant services directly to

the public to provide those services in

a manner that seeks to meet the

customer service standards established

in the Executive Order.

The customer satisfaction survey

information collection will be

accomplished by mailing questionnaires

to a random sample of participants and

beneficiaries who have had recent

contact with the PBGC.

This voluntary collection of

information will put a slight burden on

a very small percentage of the public.

The PBGC will collect information

annually from 1,280 participants and

beneficiaries in pension plans trusteed

by the PBGC. The PBGC estimates that

the total annual burden will be 106.66

hours.

The PBGC solicits comments to:

(i) 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;

(ii) 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;

(iii) Enhance the quality, utility, and

clarity of the information to be

collected; and

(iv) 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.

Issued at Washington, DC, this 21st day of

July, 1998.
