WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with NOTICES
65168
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 235 / Wednesday, December 9, 2009 / Notices
covered in subpart D of the regulation.
Subpart D prescribes rules on who may
file appeals, when and where to file
appeals, contents of appeals, and other
matters relating to appeals.
Most appeals filed with PBGC are
filed by individuals (participants,
beneficiaries, and alternate payees) in
connection with benefit entitlement or
amounts. A small number of appeals are
filed by employers in connection with
other matters, such as plan coverage
under ERISA section 4021 or employer
liability under ERISA sections
4062(b)(1), 4063, or 4064. Appeals may
be filed by hand, mail, commercial
delivery service, fax or e-mail. For
appeals of benefit determinations, PBGC
has optional forms for filing appeals and
requests for extensions of time to
appeal.
OMB has approved the administrative
appeals collection of information under
control number 1212–0061 through
January 31, 2010. PBGC intends to
request that OMB extend approval of
this collection of information for 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 an average of 900
appellants per year will respond to this
collection of information. PBGC further
estimates that the average annual
burden of this collection of information
is 0.71 hours and $52 per appellant,
with an average total annual burden of
643 hours and $46,680.
PBGC is soliciting public comments
to—
• Evaluate whether the 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
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 submission of
responses.

Proposed Collection; Comment
Request for an Extension of a
Currently Approved Information
Collection:
AGENCY: Office of Personnel
Management.
ACTION: Notice.
SUMMARY: In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub.
L. 104–13, May 22, 1995), this notice
announces that the Office of Personnel
Management (OPM) intends to submit to
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) a request for review of an
existing information collection.
‘‘Annuity Supplement Earnings Report’’
(OMB Control No. 3206–0194; Form RI
92–22), is used each year to obtain the
earned income of each Federal
Employees Retirement System (FERS)
annuitant receiving an annuity
supplement. The annuity supplement is
paid to eligible FERS annuitants who
are not retired on disability and are not
yet age 62. The supplement
approximates the portion of a full career
Social Security benefit earned while
under FERS and ends at age 62. Like
Social Security benefits, the annuity
supplement is subject to an earnings
limitation.
Comments are particularly invited on:
Whether this collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of functions of the Office of Personnel
Management, and whether it will have
practical utility; whether our estimate of
the public burden of this collection of
information is accurate, and based on
valid assumptions and methodology;
and ways in which we can minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on those who are to respond, through
the use of appropriate technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
We estimate 700 RI 92–22 forms are
completed annually. Each form requires
approximately 15 minutes to complete.
The annual estimated burden is 175
hours.
