Comments and questions about the ICR
listed below should be received 5 days
prior to the requested OMB approval

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
VerDate Nov<24>2008
15:26 May 01, 2009
Jkt 217001
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

e.g., permitting electronic submissions

Agency: Employee Benefits Security
Administration.
Title of Collection: Application to the
Department of Labor for Expedited
Review of Denial of COBRA Premium
Assistance.
OMB Control Number: New.
Frequency of Collection: On occasion.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households; Business or other for-profit;
Not-for-profit institutions.
Total Estimated Number of
Respondents: 95,000.
Total Estimated Annual Burden
Hours: 95,000.
Total Net Estimated Annual Costs
Burden (other than hourly costs):
$52,000.
Description: Section 3001 of the
American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act of 2009 (ARRA) provides
‘‘Assistance Eligible Individuals’’ with
the right to pay reduced COBRA
premiums for up to 9 months. To be
considered an ‘‘Assistance Eligible
Individual’’ and receive premium
reduction an individual must: (1) Be
eligible for, and elect, COBRA
continuation coverage, (2) have
experienced an involuntary termination
of employment which led to the COBRA
election opportunity, (3) have
experienced the involuntary termination
during the period beginning September
1, 2008, and ending December 31, 2009.
Individuals who experienced an
involuntary termination of employment
at any time between September 1, 2008,
and February 16, 2009, and were
offered, but did not elect, COBRA
coverage or who elected COBRA and
subsequently dropped it may have the
right to an additional 60-day election
period.
If individuals request treatment as an
assistance eligible individual and are
denied such treatment because of their
ineligibility for COBRA continuation
coverage, ARRA section 3001(a)(5)
requires the Secretary of Labor to
PO 00000
Frm 00054
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
20503
provide for expedited review of the
denial upon application to the Secretary
in the form and manner the Secretary
provides. The Secretary of Labor is
required to act in consultation with the
Secretary of the Treasury and must
make a determination within 15
business days after receipt of an
individual’s application for review.
The ‘‘Application to the Department
of Labor for Expedited Review of Denial
of COBRA Premium Reduction’’ (the
‘‘Application’’) is the form that will be
used by individuals to file their
expedited review appeals. Such
individuals must complete all
information requested on the
Application in order to file their review
requests with the Department’s
Employee Benefits Security
Administration (EBSA). An Application
may be denied if sufficient information
is not provided. The ICR relates to the
Application.
Why are we requesting Emergency
Processing? If the Department were to
comply with standard PRA clearance
procedures, it would not be able to
implement its expedited review
program on a timely basis as required by
ARRA section 3001(a)(5).

Departmental Clearance Officer.
