Employee Benefits Security

Proposed Extension of Information 

Collection Request Submitted for 

Public Comment; Furnishing 

Documents to the Secretary of Labor 

on Request Under ERISA Section 

104(a)(6) 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA 

95) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)), the 

Department of Labor (the Department) 

conducts a preclearance consultation 

program so that the general public and 

other federal agencies can comment on 

proposed and continuing collections of 

information. This program helps to 

ensure that the data the Department 

gathers arrive in the desired format, that 

the reporting burden on the public (time 

and financial resources) is minimized, 

that the public understands the 

collection instruments, and that the 

Department can accurately assess the 

impact of collection requirements on 

respondents. 

By this notice, the Department is 

soliciting comments on the information 

collection provisions of regulations 

pertaining to section 104(a)(6) of the 

Employee Retirement Income Security 

Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA). The 

statute and the regulatory provisions 

codified at 29 CFR 2520.104a–8 require 

the administrator of an employee benefit 

plan subject to Part 1 of Title I of ERISA 

to furnish the Secretary of Labor with 

certain documents relating to the plan 

upon request. A copy of the information 

collection request (ICR) can be obtained 

by contacting the office shown in the 

ADDRESSES section of this notice. ICRs 

submitted to OMB also are available at 

http://www.RegInfo.gov. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

submitted to the office shown in the 

addresses section on or before October 

14, 2008. 

ADDRESSES: Interested parties are 

invited to submit written comments 

regarding the information collection 

request and burden estimates to: Gerald 

B. Lindrew, Office of Policy and 

Research, U.S. Department of Labor,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Pursuant to section 101(a)(6) of 

ERISA, the administrator of any 

employee benefit plan subject to Part 1 

of Title I of ERISA is required to furnish 

to the Secretary of Labor, on request, 

any documents related to the employee 

benefit plan including but not limited 

to, the latest SPD (including any 

summaries of plan changes not 

contained in the SPD), and the 

bargaining agreement, trust agreement, 

contract, or other instrument under 

which the plan is established or 

operated. The Department issued a final 

implementing regulation under this 

provision on January 7, 2002 (67 FR 

777), which is codified at 29 CFR 

2520.104a–8. The ICR relating to the 

regulation was approved following 

publication of a notice of proposed 

rulemaking on August 5, 1999 (64 FR 

42797). The ICR is scheduled to expire 

on December 31, 2008. 

II. Desired Focus of Comments 

The Department is particularly 

interested in comments that: 

• 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 

methodology and assumptions used; 

• Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; 

• 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. 

III. Current Actions

Administration is requesting an 

extension of the currently approved ICR 

for the Furnishing Documents to the 

Secretary of Labor under ERISA section

Department is not proposing or 

implementing changes to the regulation 

or to the existing ICR. A summary of the
