SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PBGC 

intends to request that OMB approve 

modifications to a collection of 

information needed to pay participants 

and beneficiaries who may be entitled to 

pension benefits under a defined benefit 

plan that has terminated. The collection 

consists of information participants and 

beneficiaries are asked to provide in 

connection with an application for 

benefits. In addition, in some instances, 

as part of a search for participants and 

beneficiaries who may be entitled to 

benefits, PBGC requests individuals to 

provide identifying information that the 

individual would provide as part of an 

initial contact with PBGC. All requested 

information is needed to enable PBGC to 

determine benefit entitlements and to 

make appropriate payments. The 

information collection includes My 

Pension Benefit Account (My PBA), an 

application on PBGC’s Web site, 

http://www.pbgc.gov, through which 

plan participants and beneficiaries may 

conduct electronic transactions with 

PBGC, including applying for pension 

benefits, designating a beneficiary, 

granting a power of attorney, electing 

monthly payments, electing to withhold 

income tax from periodic payments, 

changing contact information, and 

applying for electronic direct deposit. 

PBGC intends to add three new forms 

to the information collection. Two of the 

new forms will be used to ascertain the 

continuing eligibility of participants 

who are receiving benefits based on 

disability. The other new form will be 

used to determine whether participants 

are eligible for additional pension 

service credit under the Uniformed 

Services Employment and 

Reemployment Rights Act, which 

establishes specific rights for 

reemployed service members in their 

employee pension benefit plans. (See 

PBGC’s final regulation on USERRA 

Benefits under Title IV of ERISA, 74 FR 

59093 (Nov. 17, 2009).) 

PBGC also intends to modify PBGC 

Form 704 (Request for Earnings 

Information) to eliminate the need for 

respondents to provide copies of IRS 

Form W–2 (Wage and Tax Statement) to 

confirm their earnings. PBGC expects 

that the number of respondents that will 

use the new or modified forms, and the 

burden associated with those forms, will 

be very small. Accordingly, PBGC is not 

changing its burden estimates for this 

information collection as a result of the 

modifications. 

The existing collection of information 

under the regulation was approved 

under OMB control number 1212–0055 

(expires August 31, 2011). PBGC intends 

to request that OMB approve the 

modifications through the current 

expiration date. 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 the total annual 

burden associated with this collection of 

information is 73,300 hours and $3,100. 

The burden estimate includes 67,050 

hours for participants in plans covered 

by the PBGC insurance program. The 

remaining hourly burden is attributable 

to participants that will be covered by 

the expanded Missing Participants 

program under Pension Protection Act 

of 2006 amendments to ERISA, once 

final regulations are issued to 

implement the program. The cost 

burden for both groups of participants is 

estimated to be $3,100. 

PBGC is soliciting public comments 

to— 

• Evaluate whether the 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 

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 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.

May, 2010.

collection, ‘‘We Need Important 

Information About Your Eligibility for

(OMB Control No. 3206–0216; Form RI

of Social Security Administration (SSA) 

disability benefits, to lessen or avoid 

overpayment to Federal Employees

responsibility to notify OPM if SSA 

benefits begin and the overpayment that 

will occur with the receipt of both 

benefits. 

Comments are particularly invited on: 

whether this collection of information is 

necessary for the proper performance of 

functions of the Office of Personnel 

Management, and whether it will have 

practical utility; whether our estimate of 

the public burden of this collection of 

information is accurate, and based on 

valid assumptions and methodology; 

and ways in which we can minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on those who are to respond, through 

the use of appropriate technological 

collection or other forms of information 

technology. 

Approximately 4,300 RI 98–7 forms 

will be completed annually. The form 

takes approximately 5 minutes to

Proposed Information Collection; 

Request for Comment on a New 

Information Collection 

AGENCY: Office of Personnel 

Management. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. 

L. 10413, May 22, 1995), this notice 

announces that the Office of Personnel 

Management (OPM) intends to submit to 

the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) a request for review of a new 

information collection. ‘‘Request for 

Case Review for Enhanced Disability 

Annuity Benefit’’ (OMB Control No. 

3206–0XXX). Due to recent court orders, 

the Office of Personnel Management 

(OPM) must compute, or recomputed as 

applicable, the disability annuities for 

individuals who performed service as 

law enforcement officers, firefighters, 

nuclear materials carriers, Customs and 

Border Patrol officers, members of the 

Capitol and the Supreme Court police, 

Congressional employees, members of 

Congress, and air traffic controllers. 

Because these court orders were handed 

down long after some of the affected 

individuals retired and/or died and they 

are not identified in the OPM computer 

systems, it is necessary for these 

individuals to self-identify. Form RI 20– 

123 is needed on the OPM website so 

these individuals and their survivors 

can make the request. 

Comments are particularly invited on: 

Whether this collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of functions of the Office of Personnel 

Management, and whether it will have 

practical utility; whether our estimate of 

the public burden of this collection is 

accurate, and based on valid 

assumptions and methodology; and 

ways in which we can minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on those who are to respond, through 

use of the appropriate technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology. 

We estimate that we will receive 720 

responses a year and the time it takes to 

respond is estimated to be 5 minutes. 

The annual burden is estimated to be 60 

hours.
