DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Office of the Secretary
Submission for OMB Emergency
Review: Comment Request
March 20, 2009.
The Department of Labor has
submitted the following information
collection request (ICR), utilizing
emergency review procedures, to the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for review and clearance in
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–13,
44 U.S.C. Chapter 35) and 5 CFR
1320.13. OMB approval has been
requested by April 6, 2009. A copy of
this ICR, with applicable supporting
documentation; including among other
things a description of the likely
respondents, proposed frequency of
response, and estimated total burden
may be obtained from the RegInfo.gov
Web site at https://www.reginfo.gov/

parties are encouraged to send
comments to the Office of Information
and Regulatory Affairs, Attn: OMB Desk
Officer for the Department of Labor—

Telephone: 202–395–7316/Fax: 202–

numbers), E-mail:
OIRA_submission@omb.eop.gov.
Comments and questions about the ICR
listed below should be received 5 days
prior to the requested OMB approval
date.
The OMB is particularly interested in
comments which:
• 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., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
Agency: Employment and Training
Administration.
Title of Collection: Planning Guidance
for Indian and Native American
Program (INAP) and Senior Community
Service Employment Program (SCSEP)
Recovery Act Grants.
OMB Control Number: Pending.
Frequency of Collection: One time
collection.
Affected Public: INAP and SCSEP
Grantees.
Estimated Time per Respondent: 16
hours.
Total Estimated Number of
Respondents: 219.
Total Estimated Annual Burden
Hours: 3,504.
Description: In February of 2009,
ETA’s Senior Community Service
Employment Program (SCSEP) and the
Indian and Native American Programs
(INAP), received additional funds
authorized by Title VIII of section A of
the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act (ARRA). ETA is
seeking emergency approval for
Training and Employment Guidance
Letters (TEGLs) issued by these
programs in order to obligate Recovery

Act Funds, as directed by the Congress
and the President.
Why are we requesting Emergency
Processing? If DOL were to comply with
standard PRA clearance procedures, it
would not be able to comply with the
ARRA-mandated payment schedule
because procedures for these payments
must be in place immediately. The
statute provides that INAP and SCSEP
grantees need the means to access the
funds as soon as possible. Otherwise,
harm to the nation’s economic recovery
could ensue. Finally, in preparing the
guidelines, the Department has taken all
necessary steps to consult with INAP
and SCSEP grantees in order to
minimize the burden of collecting the
information while adhering to ARRA
payment and monitoring provisions.

numbers.)
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
December 23, 2008, the Department
published a notice of proposed
exemption in the Federal Register at 73
FR 78846 from the prohibited
transaction restrictions of section 406(a)
of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974 (the Act) and from
the sanctions resulting from the
application of section 4975 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the
Code), as amended, by reason of section
4975(c)(1)(A) through (D) of the Code.
The proposed exemption has been
requested in an application filed on
behalf of CGMI pursuant to section
408(a) of the Act and section 4975(c)(2)
of the Code, and in accordance with the
procedures set forth in 29 CFR part
2570, subpart B (55 FR 32836, August
10, 1990). Effective December 31, 1978,
section 102 of Reorganization Plan No.
4 of 1978 (43 FR 47713, October 17,
1978) transferred the authority of the
Secretary of the Treasury to issue
exemptions of the type requested to the
Secretary of Labor. Accordingly, this
exemption is being issued solely by the
Department.
The Department invited all interested
persons to submit written comments
and/or requests for a public hearing
with respect to the notice of proposed
exemption on or before February 23,
2009.
During the comment period, the
Department received 29 telephone calls
from participants or beneficiaries in
plans with investments in the TRAK
Program. All of these comments
PO 00000
Frm 00059
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

concerned the commenters’ inability to
understand the notice of proposed
exemption or the effect of the exemption
on the commenters’ benefits.
The Department also received one
written comment with respect to the
proposed exemption. The comment,
which was submitted by Citigroup, is
intended to clarify and update certain
factual information discussed in the
proposed exemption, as follows:
1. TRAK Program Assets. On page
78847 of the notice of proposed
exemption, the first sentence of the first
paragraph states that the TRAK Program
held assets that were in excess of $9.4
billion. Citigroup states that the
sentence should be revised to read as
follows: ‘‘As of July 29, 2008, the TRAK
Program held assets of approximately
$8.8 billion.’’
Also, on page 78847 of the proposal,
the first sentence in the last paragraph
of the third column reads: ‘‘The assets
sold by Citigroup to Legg Mason
included Smith Barney Mutual Funds
Management Inc. (now Smith Barney
Fund Management LLC) but excluded
the Consulting Group and the TRAK
Program.’’ Citigroup explains that the
first sentence should be revised to read:
‘‘The assets sold by Citigroup to Legg
Mason included Smith Barney Fund
Management LLC, but excluded the
Consulting Group and the TRAK
Program.’’
2. Citigroup Loan to Legg Mason. On
page 78847 of the notice of proposed
exemption, the last sentence in the last
paragraph of the third column discusses
a loan provided by Legg Mason to
Citigroup. Citigroup explains that it
provided the loan to Legg Mason.
Therefore, this sentence should be
revised to read as follows: ‘‘Also,
Citigroup Corporate and Investment
Banking provided to Legg Mason
approximately $550 million in the form
of a five-year loan facility.’’
3. Merger Transaction. On page 78848
of the notice of proposed exemption,
Footnote 6 states that Citigroup Asset
Management or ‘‘CAM’’ was sold to
Legg Mason subsequent to the Merger
Transaction. Citigroup explains that
based on its knowledge, CAM was sold
to Legg Mason as part of the Merger
Transaction.
4. General Conditions. On pages
78850 and 78854 of the proposed
exemption, Section II(j) makes reference
to the ‘‘Government Money Investments
Portfolio’’ and the ‘‘GIC Fund Portfolio’’.
Citigroup wishes to clarify that these
funds have been re-named the ‘‘Money
Market Investments Portfolio’’ and the
‘‘Stable Value Investments Portfolio,’’
respectively.
