SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Occupational Employment Statistics 

(OES) program has been funded to 

collect and produce objective and 

reliable information on occupational 

employment and wages for green jobs at 

the establishment level. This is to be 

conducted through a special employer 

survey. This work is necessary to meet 

the publication objective outlined in the 

FY2010 Congressional Appropriation. 

The GTP Survey will collect 

information on jobs within firms that 

use green technologies and practices as 

a part of business operations, regardless 

of the products or services produced. 

OMB clearance is being sought for the 

‘‘BLS Green Technologies and Practices 

Survey.’’ The goal of the BLS and its 

OES program is to produce economic 

statistics on employment related to the 

use of environmentally friendly 

technologies and practices across the 

U.S. economy. Using its business 

establishment register, the OES program 

intends to survey establishments about 

these green activities and the associated 

employment. The survey will identify 

employers performing green activities, 

determine whether they have any 

employees performing tasks associated 

with these activities, gather information 

to classify those employees according to 

the Standard Occupational 

Classification (SOC) system, and collect 

wage rate information. 

This proposed information collection 

is subject to the PRA. A Federal agency 

generally cannot conduct or sponsor a 

collection of information, and the public 

is generally not required to respond to 

an information collection, unless it is 

approved by the OMB under the PRA 

and displays a currently valid OMB 

Control Number. In addition, 

notwithstanding any other provisions of 

law, no person shall generally be subject 

to penalty for failing to comply with a 

collection of information if the 

collection of information does not 

display a valid OMB control number. 

See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. For 

additional information, see the related 

notice published in the Federal Register 

on February 3, 2011 (76 FR 6161). 

Interested parties are encouraged to 

send comments to the OMB, Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs at 

the address shown in the ADDRESSES

section within 30 days of the 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register. In order to help ensure 

appropriate consideration, comments 

should reference ICR Reference Number 

121103–1220–003. The OMB 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,

AGENCY: Employee Benefits Security

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor (the 

Department), in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA 

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

the general public and Federal agencies 

with an opportunity to comment on 

proposed and continuing collections of 

information. This helps the Department 

assess the impact of its information 

collection requirements and minimize 

the public’s reporting burden. It also 

helps the public understand the 

Department’s information collection 

requirements and provide the requested 

data in the desired format. The 

Employee Benefits Security 

Administration (EBSA) is soliciting 

comments on the proposed extension of 

the information collection requests 

(ICRs) contained in the documents that 

are described below. The Department is 

not proposing to make any changes to 

the ICRs at this time. A copy of the ICRs 

may be obtained by contacting the office 

listed in the ADDRESSES section of this 

notice. ICRs also are available at 

reginfo.gov (http://www.reginfo.gov/ 

public/do/PRAMain). 

DATES: Written comments must be 

submitted to the office shown in the 

Addresses section on or before July 25, 

2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice requests public comment on the 

Department’s request for extension of 

the Office of Management and Budget’s 

(OMB) approval of ICRs contained in 

the rules described below. The 

Department is not proposing any 

changes to the existing ICRs at this time. 

An agency may not conduct or sponsor, 

and a person is not required to respond 

to, an information collection unless it 

displays a valid OMB control number. A 

summary of the ICRs and the current 

burden estimates follows: 

Agency: Employee Benefits Security 

Administration, Department of Labor. 

Title: Consent to Receive Employee 

Benefit Plan Disclosure Electronically. 

Type of Review: Extension without 

change of a currently approved 

collection of information. 

OMB Number: 1210–0121. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit; Not-for-profit institutions. 

Respondents: 50,000. 

Responses: 3,400,000. 

Estimated Total Burden Hours: 7,000. 

Estimated Total Burden Cost 

(Operating and Maintenance): $170,000. 

Description: The Department 

established a safe harbor pursuant to 

which all pension and welfare benefit 

plans covered by Title I of ERISA may 

use electronic media to satisfy 

disclosure obligations under Title I of 

ERISA (29 CFR 2520.104b-1). Employee 

benefit plan administrators will be 

deemed to satisfy their disclosure 

obligations when furnishing documents 

electronically only if a participant who 

does not have access to the employer’s 

electronic information system in the 

normal course of his duties, or a 

beneficiary or other person entitled to 

documents, has affirmatively consented 

to receive disclosure documents. Prior 

to consenting, the participant or 

beneficiary must also be provided with 

a clear and conspicuous statement 

indicating the types of documents to 

which the consent would apply, that 

consent may be withdrawn at any time, 

procedures for withdrawing consent and 

updating necessary information, the 

right to obtain a paper copy, and any 

hardware and software requirements. In 

the event of a hardware or software 

change that creates a material risk that 

the individual will be unable to access 

or retain documents that were the 

subject of the initial consent, the 

individual must be provided with 

information concerning the revised 

hardware or software, and an 

opportunity to withdraw a prior 

consent. The Department published a 

Request for Information regarding 

electronic disclosure in the Federal 

Register on April 7, 2011 (75 Fed. Reg. 

19285), which is unrelated to this 

notice. The ICR is scheduled to expire 

on August 31, 2011. 

Agency: Employee Benefits Security 

Administration, Department of Labor. 

Title: Prohibited Transaction Class 

Exemption 86–128. 

Type of Review: Extension without 

change of a currently approved 

collection of information. 

OMB Number: 1210–0059. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit; Not-for-profit institutions. 

Respondents: 4,200. 

Responses: 1,168,529. 

Estimated Total Burden Hours: 

59,072. 

Estimated Total Burden Cost 

(Operating and Maintenance): $711,630. 

Description: Prohibited Transaction 

Class Exemption 86–128 permits 

persons who serve as fiduciaries for 

employee benefit plans to effect or 

execute securities transactions on behalf 

of employee benefit plans. The 

exemption also allows sponsors of 

pooled separate accounts and other 

pooled investment funds to use their 

affiliates to effect or execute securities 

transactions for such accounts in order 

to recapture brokerage commissions for 

the benefit of employee benefit plans 

whose assets are maintained in pooled 

separate accounts managed by insurance 

companies. This exemption provides 

relief from certain prohibitions in 

section 406(b) of the Employee 

Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 

(ERISA) and from the taxes imposed by 

section 4975(a) and (b) of the Internal 

Revenue Code of 1986 (the Code) by 

reason of Code section 4975(c)(1)(E) or 

(F). 

In order to insure that the exemption 

is not abused, that the rights of 

participants and beneficiaries are
