SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Generic Clearance for the 

Collection of Qualitative Feedback on 

Agency Service Delivery. 

Abstract: The information collection 

activity will garner qualitative customer 

and stakeholder feedback in an efficient, 

timely manner, in accordance with the 

Administration’s commitment to 

improving service delivery. By 

qualitative feedback we mean 

information that provides useful 

insights on perceptions and opinions, 

but are not statistical surveys that yield 

quantitative results that can be 

generalized to the population of study. 

This feedback will provide insights into 

customer or stakeholder perceptions, 

experiences and expectations, provide 

an early warning of issues with service, 

or focus attention on areas where 

communication, training or changes in 

operations might improve delivery of 

products or services. These collections 

will allow for ongoing, collaborative and 

actionable communications between the 

Agency and its customers and 

stakeholders. It will also allow feedback 

to contribute directly to the 

improvement of program management. 

Feedback collected under this generic 

clearance will provide useful 

information, but it will not yield data 

that can be generalized to the overall 

population. This type of generic 

clearance for qualitative information 

will not be used for quantitative 

information collections that are 

designed to yield reliably actionable 

results, such as monitoring trends over 

time or documenting program 

performance. Such data uses require 

more rigorous designs that address: the 

target population to which 

generalizations will be made, the 

sampling frame, the sample design 

(including stratification and clustering), 

the precision requirements or power 

calculations that justify the proposed 

sample size, the expected response rate, 

methods for assessing potential nonresponse bias, the protocols for data 

collection, and any testing procedures 

that were or will be undertaken prior 

fielding the study. Depending on the 

degree of influence the results are likely 

to have, such collections may still be 

eligible for submission for other generic 

mechanisms that are designed to yield 

quantitative results. 

The Agency received no comments in 

response to the 60-day notice published 

in the Federal Register of Volume 79, 

Number 214, page 65701–65702, on 

November 5, 2014, allowing for a 60 day 

comment period.

Investigation’s projected average

Current Actions: New collection of 

information. 

Type of Review: New Collection.

Respondents: 2,000. 

Annual Responses: 4,000. 

Frequency of Response: Once per

Burden Hours: 667.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

4007 of Title IV of the Employee 

Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 

(ERISA) requires pension plans covered 

under Title IV pension insurance 

programs to pay premiums to PBGC. All 

plans covered by Title IV pay a flat-rate 

per-participant premium. An 

underfunded single-employer plan also 

pays a variable-rate premium based on 

the value of the plan’s unfunded vested 

benefits. 

Pursuant to section 4007, PBGC has 

issued its regulation on Payment of 

Premiums (29 CFR part 4007). Under 

§ 4007.3 of the premium payment 

regulation, the plan administrator of 

each pension plan covered by Title IV 

of ERISA is required to file a premium 

payment and information prescribed by 

PBGC for each premium payment year. 

Premium information must be filed 

electronically using ‘‘My Plan 

Administration Account’’ (‘‘My PAA’’) 

through PBGC’s Web site except to the 

extent PBGC grants an exemption for 

good cause in appropriate 

circumstances, in which case the 

information must be filed using an 

approved PBGC form. Under § 4007.10 

of the premium payment regulation, 

plan administrators are required to 

retain records about premiums and 

information submitted in premium 

filings. 

Premium filings report (i) the flat-rate 

premium and related data (all plans), (ii) 

the variable-rate premium and related 

data (single-employer plans), and (iii) 

additional data such as identifying 

information and miscellaneous planrelated or filing-related data (all plans). 

PBGC needs this information to identify 

the plans for which premiums are paid, 

to verify whether the amounts paid are 

correct, to help PBGC determine the 

magnitude of its exposure in the event 

of plan termination, to help track the 

creation of new plans and transfer of 

participants and plan assets and 

liabilities among plans, and to keep 

PBGC’s insured-plan inventory up to 

date. That information and the retained 

records are also needed for audit 

purposes. 

PBGC is revising the 2015 filing 

procedures and instructions to require 

after-the-fact reporting of certain risk 

transfers through lump sum windows 

and annuity purchases. Risk transfers 

can substantially reduce the premiums 

that plans otherwise would pay to 

PBGC. Because PBGC premiums and the 

investment income earned on them are 

a major source of income for PBGC, 

information about risk transfers is 

critical to PBGC’s ability to assess its 

future financial condition. There is 

currently no available comprehensive, 

detailed, and reliable source for 

information on risk transfers. 

PBGC is also changing certain 

premium declaration certification 

procedures, offering the option for a 

plan to provide a telephone number 

specifically for inclusion in PBGC’s 

Search Plan List on PBGC’s Web site, 

updating the premium rates (including 

to reflect the Consolidated and Further 

Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015, 

Pub. L. 113–235), and making 

conforming, clarifying, and editorial 

changes. 

On September 23, 2014 (at 79 FR 

56831), PBGC gave public notice that it 

intended to submit the revised 

procedures and instructions to OMB for 

review. PBGC received nine comment 

letters from representatives of 

employers, pension practitioners, 

annuity providers, and participants.1

The comments focused almost 

exclusively on the new risk transfer 

items. PBGC has made changes to the 

new items (both the questions 

themselves and the instructions) in 

response to some of the comments. The 

changes and other responses to the 

comments are discussed in detail in the 

supporting statement to the OMB 

submission. 

The collection of information under 

the regulation has been approved 

through April 30, 2017, by OMB under 

control number 1212–0009. PBGC 

intends to request that OMB approve the 

revised collection of information for 

three 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 it will receive 

25,700 premium filings per year from 

25,700 plan administrators under this 

collection of information. PBGC further 

estimates that the average annual 

burden of this collection of information 

is approximately 8,000 hours and 

$53,200,000. 

Issued in Washington, DC, this 7th day of 

January, 2015.
