SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

collection of information is contained in

the Pension Benefit Guaranty

Corporation’s (‘‘PBGC’s’’) regulation on

Extension of Special Withdrawal

Liability Rules, 29 CFR part 2645.

Sections 4203(f) and 4208(e)(3) of the

Employee Retirement Income Security

Act of 1974 (‘‘ERISA’’) provide for the

PBGC’s issuance of regulations under

which the PBGC may approve a

multiemployer pension plan’s adoption

of special rules for determining whether

a complete or partial withdrawal from

the plan has occurred. Section 4203(f)

also sets standards for the approval of

such special rules. The PBGC’s

regulation on Extension of Special

Withdrawal Liability Rules requires the

plan sponsor of a plan that adopts

special rules to submit information

about the rules, the plan, and the

industry in which the plan operates

with its request for PBGC approval of

the rules. The PBGC uses that

information in determining whether the

plan’s special withdrawal liability rules

meet the requirements of ERISA.

The PBGC estimates that it receives

three requests per year under the

regulation and that each request takes

sixteen hours to prepare. Thus, the total

estimated burden is 48 hours per year.

February 1995.

contained in its regulation on Mergers

and Transfers Between Multiemployer

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Deborah C. Murphy, Attorney, office of

the General Counsel, Suite 340, Pension

Benefit Guaranty Corporation, 1200 K

Street NW., Washington, DC 20005–

4026, 202–326–4024 (202–326–4179 for

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

collection of information is contained in

the Pension Benefit Guaranty

Corporation’s (‘‘PBGC’s’’) regulation on

Mergers and Transfers Between

Multiemployer Plans, 29 CFR Part 2672.

Section 4231 of the Employee

Retirement Income Security Act of 1974

(ERISA) imposes requirements on

multiemployer plan mergers and

transfers and provides that a merger or

transfer will be deemed not to be in

violation of ERISA section 406 (a) or

(b)(2) (dealing with prohibited

transactions) if the PBGC determines

that those requirements are satisfied.

Pursuant to section 4231, the PBGC has

promulgated its regulation on Mergers

and Transfers Between Multiemployer

Plans (29 CFR part 2672), which sets

forth (in §§ 2672.2, 2672.7, and 2672.8)

the procedures a plan sponsor must

follow to give the PBGC notice of a

merger or transfer under section 4231 or

to request a PBGC determination that a

merger or transfer complies with the

requirements of section 4231. The PBGC

uses information submitted by

multiemployer plan sponsors under the

regulation to determine whether

mergers and transfers conform to the

requirements of ERISA section 4231 and

the regulation.

The PBGC estimates that it takes a

respondent an average of 5 hours to

prepare a submission under the

regulation and, based on its experience,

that about 20 submissions are made

each year.

Accordingly, the estimated burden of

the collection of information is 100

hours.

Issued at Washington, DC, this 7th day of

February 1995.

Executive Director, Pension Benefit Guaranty

Corporation.

COMMISSION

Request Under Review by Office of

Management and Budget

Acting Agency Clearance Officer: David

Upon written request copies available

Commission, Office of Filings and

Proposed Amendment Form BD File No.

270–19

Notice is hereby given that pursuant

to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980

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

and Exchange Commission has

submitted for the Office of Management

and Budget approval on the proposed

amendments to Form BD [17 CFR

249.501] under the Securities Exchange

Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.).

Form BD is used to apply for

registration as a broker-dealer and for

firms other than banks and registered

broker-dealers to apply for registration

as a municipal securities dealer or a

government securities broker-dealer.

Form BD also is used to amend such

applications when any information

previously filed on Form BD becomes

inaccurate. It is estimated that 1,200

broker-dealers annually will incur an

average burden of 2.75 hours to file

initial or successor applications for

registration on Form BD for an annual

burden of 3,300 hours. It also is

estimated that broker-dealers will file

12,000 amendments annually, and will

incur an average burden of 20 minutes

to file amendments on Form BD for an

annual burden of 3,960 hours. The total

annual burden for Form BD and Form

BD amendments is 7,260 hours.
