collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including

proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;

ACTION:
Entities that Offer or Provide Medical
Care to the Employees of Two or More
Employers. A copy of the Department’s
information collection request (ICR)
may be obtained by contacting the office
listed in the addresses section of this
notice.
The Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA),
codified as Part 7 of Title I of the
Employee Retirement Security Act of
1974 (ERISA), was enacted to improve
the portability and continuity of health
care coverage for participants and
beneficiaries of group health plans. In
the interest of assuring compliance with
Part 7, section 101(g) of ERISA, added
by HIPAA, further permits the Secretary
of Labor (the Secretary) to require
multiple employer welfare arrangements
(MEWAs), as defined in section 3(40) of
ERISA, to report to the Secretary in such
form and manner as the Secretary might
determine. The Department published a
final rule providing for such reporting
on an annual basis, together with a form
(Form M–1) to be used by MEWAs for
the annual report. The reporting
requirement enables the Secretary to
determine whether the requirements of
Part 7 of ERISA are being carried out.
EBSA submitted an ICR for the
information collection in Form M–1 to
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for review and clearance in
connection with publication of the final
rule, and OMB approved the
information collection under OMB
control number 1210–0116. This
PO 00000

approval is scheduled to expire on
January 31, 2007. After considering any
comments received in response to this
notice, EBSA intends to submit an ICR
to OMB to request continuing approval.
The public is not required to respond to
an information collection unless it
displays a valid control number. No
change to the existing ICR is being
proposed or made at this time.
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; and
• 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., by permitting electronic submission
of responses.
III. Current Action
This notice requests comments on an
extension of OMB’s approval of the
information collection included in Form
M–1. The Department is not proposing
or implementing changes to the existing
ICR at this time. A summary of the ICR
and the current burden estimates
follows:
