SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Employee Benefits Security
Administration (EBSA) has promulgated
three regulations and a prohibited
transaction class exemption (PTE) that
address the problem of abandoned
individual account pension plans. The
abandoned plan initiative includes the
following actions, which impose the
following information collections:
1. Qualified Termination
Administrator (QTA) Regulation: The
QTA regulation creates an orderly and
efficient process by which a financial
institution that holds the assets of a plan
that is deemed to have been abandoned
may undertake to terminate the plan
and distribute its assets to participants
and beneficiaries holding accounts
under the plan, with protections and
approval of the Department under the
standards of the regulation. The
regulation requires the QTA to provide
certain notices to the Department, to
participants and beneficiaries, and to
the plan sponsor (or service providers to
the plan, if necessary), and to keep
certain records pertaining to the
termination.
2. Abandoned Plan Terminal Report
Regulation: The terminal report
regulation provides an alternative,
simplified method for a QTA to satisfy
the annual report requirement otherwise
applicable to a terminating plan by
filing a special simplified terminal
report with the Department after
terminating an abandoned plan and
distributing its accounts to participants
and beneficiaries.
3. Terminated Plan Distribution
Regulation: The terminated plan
distribution regulation establishes a safe
harbor method by which fiduciaries
who are terminating individual account
pension plans (whether abandoned or
not) may select an investment vehicle to
receive account balances distributed
from the terminated plan when the
participant has failed to provide
investment instructions. The regulation
requires the fiduciaries to provide
advance notice to participants and
beneficiaries of how such distributions
will be invested, if no other investment
instructions are provided.
4. Abandoned Plan Class Exemption:
The exemption permits a QTA that
terminates an abandoned plan under the
QTA regulation to receive payment for
its services from the abandoned plan
and to distribute the account balance of
a participant who has failed to provide
VerDate Nov<24>2008
17:13 Mar 26, 2009
Jkt 217001
investment direction into an individual
retirement account (IRA) maintained by
the QTA or an affiliate. Without the
exemption, financial institutions could
be unable to receive payment for
services rendered out of plan assets
without violating ERISA’s prohibited
transaction provisions and would
therefore be highly unlikely to
undertake the termination of abandoned
plans. The exemption includes the
condition that the QTA keep records of
the distributions for a period of six years
and make such records available on
request to interested persons (including
the Department and participants and
beneficiaries). If a QTA wishes to be
paid out of plan assets for services
provided prior to becoming a QTA, the
exemption requires that the QTA enter
into a written agreement with a plan
fiduciary or the plan sponsor prior to
receiving payment and that a copy of
the agreement be provided to the
Department.
5. PTE 2004–16 (Automatic Rollover
Exemption): Also included in this ICR
are the notice and recordkeeping
requirements contained in PTE 2004–
16, which permits a pension plan
fiduciary that is a financial institution
and is also the employer maintaining an
individual account pension plan for its
employees to establish, on behalf of its
separated employees, an IRA at a
financial institution that is either the
employer or an affiliate, which IRA
would receive mandatory distributions
that the fiduciary ‘‘rolls over’’ from the
plan when an employee terminates
employment.
Because all of these regulations and
exemptions relate to terminating or
abandoned plans and/or to distribution
and rollover of distributed benefits for
which no participant investment
election has been made, the Department
has combined the paperwork burden for
all of these actions into one ICR. In the
Department’s view, this combination
allows the public to have a better
understanding of the aggregate burden
imposed on the public for these related
regulatory actions. OMB approved the
ICR under OMB control number 1210–
0127, which is scheduled to expire on
June 30, 2009.
II. Desired Focus of Comments
The Department is particularly
interested in comments that:
• Evaluate whether the collections of
information are 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
collections of information, including the
PO 00000
Frm 00085
Fmt 4703

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
The Department is requesting an
extension of the currently approved ICR
titled Termination of Abandoned
Individual Account Plans. The
Department is not proposing or
implementing changes to the regulation
or to the existing ICR. A summary of the
ICR and the current burden estimates
follows:
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection of
information.
Agency: Employee Benefits Security
Administration, Department of Labor.
Title: Termination of Abandoned
Individual Account Plans.
OMB Number: 1210–0127.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households; Business or other for-profit;
Not-for-profit institutions.
Respondents: 164,240.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Responses: 164,240.
Estimated Total Burden Hours: 7,313.
Total Annual Cost (Operating and
Maintenance): $997,000.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized and/or
included in the request for OMB
approval of the information collection
request; they will also become a matter
of public record.
