Submission of Information Collection for OMB Review; Comment Request; Notice of Failure To Make Required Contributions, 4785-4786 [E9-1783]

Download as PDF mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES6 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 16 / Tuesday, January 27, 2009 / Notices Corps’ 2009 to 2014 strategic plan, is to ‘‘Foster outreach to Americans through agency programs that assist Volunteers and Returned Peace Corps Volunteers to help promote a better understanding of other peoples on the part of Americans.’’ The Agency meets this goal through programs that encourage outreach to the American public through a variety of means such as personal interaction, electronic communication, and cross-cultural education curricula. The challenge for the Peace Corps in advancing such outreach is to ensure that the programs are publicized and on target in matching Volunteers and RPCVs with appropriate audiences, and that the agency uses technology effectively. The agency administers a Volunteer survey and project specific surveys to gather information about how active Volunteers support this goal. But, there is no similar mechanism for gathering such information from Returned Volunteers. These focus groups will be conducted to test the assumption that promoting a better understanding of the cultures in which they served is a lifelong commitment that becomes integrated into their lives but that RPCVs do not necessarily report such interactions to the agency. These focus groups will provide an opportunity for in-depth discussion with RPCVs about the long-term outcomes of their Service on their promotion of a better understanding of other peoples on the part of Americans. The information gathered will be used by the Office of Strategic Information, Research and Planning to identify the breadth and scope of third core goal activities by Returned Volunteers. Respondents: 96. Respondents’ Obligation To Reply: Voluntary. Burden on the Public: a. Annual reporting burden: 144 hours. b. Annual recordkeeping burden: 0 hours. c. Estimated average burden per response: 90 minutes. d. Frequency of response: One-time. e. Estimated number of respondents: 96. f. Estimated cost to respondents: $0.00/$0.00.

Notice and request for OMB review and comment. AGENCY: ACTION: Title: Survey of Returned Peace Corps Volunteers. SUMMARY: The Peace Corps has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for clearance, a proposal for collection of information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The proposed collection will survey a sample of Returned Peace Corps Volunteers about their thoughts about their in-country experience, post-service transition, postservice education and career, and their third core goal activities of promoting a better understanding of other peoples on the part of Americans. The data collected will inform agency programming and help the Agency to assess, through updated and objective data, the extent of RPCVs’ cross-cultural activities with their family, friends, and communities throughout the United States with whom RPCVs come in contact. The data will be used specifically by the Office of Domestic Programs to review the range and type of services and support available to RPCVs and by the Office of Strategic Information, Research, and Planning to support Agency level reporting. The initial Federal Register notice was published on December 2, 2008, Volume 73, No. 232, pgs. 73356–73357 for 60 days. Also available at GPO Access: https://wais.access.gpo.gov.

This iteration will be a voluntary, Web-based survey to gather information about Volunteers’ in-country experience, postservice transition, post-service education and career, and their third goal activities of promoting a better understanding of other peoples on the part of Americans. The data will be used to assess the range and type of services available to RPCVs, improve Peace Corps operations (e.g., recruitment for PC Response), and support Agency level performance reporting. Where possible, data will be compared across surveys to look for trends over time. Data will be collected from a simple random sample of Returned Peace Corps Volunteers sufficient to gather data with a 99 percent confidence level and a confidence interval of plus or minus 5.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 303(k) of the Employee Retirement 
Income Security Act of 1974 (``ERISA'') and section 430(k) of the 
Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (``Code'') impose a lien in favor of an 
underfunded single-employer plan that is covered by the termination 
insurance program if (1) any person fails to make a contribution 
payment when due, and (2) the unpaid balance of that payment (including 
interest), when added to the aggregate unpaid balance of all preceding 
payments for which payment was not made when due (including interest), 
exceeds $1 million. (For this purpose, a plan is underfunded if its 
funding target attainment percentage is less than 100 percent.) The 
lien is upon all property and rights to property belonging to the 
person or persons who are liable for required contributions (i.e., a 
contributing sponsor and each member of the controlled group of which 
that contributing sponsor is a member).
    Only PBGC (or, at its direction, the plan's contributing sponsor or 
a member of the same controlled group) may perfect and enforce this 
lien. ERISA and the Code require persons committing payment failures to 
notify PBGC within 10 days of the due date whenever there is a failure 
to make a required payment and the total of the unpaid balances 
(including interest) exceeds $1 million.
    These statutory requirements are implemented by subparts A and D of 
PBGC's regulation on Reportable Events and Certain Other Notification 
Requirements (29 CFR part 4043). Section 4043.81 of the regulation 
provides that required reports must be made using PBGC Form 200, Notice 
of Failure to Make Required Contributions, in accordance with the 
related filing instructions. The form and instructions have been 
revised to remove information that is no longer applicable in light of 
changes made by the Pension Protection Act of 2006.
    The collection of information under the regulation has been 
approved through February 28, 2009, by OMB under control number 1212-
0041. PBGC is requesting that OMB extend approval of the collection 
(with modifications) for another 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 185 Form 200 filings per year 
under this collection of information. PBGC further estimates that the 
average annual burden of this collection of information is 873 hours 
and $305,550.

    Issued in Washington, DC, this 21st day of January, 2009.
