Download as PDF mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 76772 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 236 / Thursday, December 8, 2011 / Notices implemented in PBGC’s regulation on Reportable Events and Certain Other Notification Requirements (29 CFR part 4043). Subparts B and C of the regulation deal with reportable events, and subpart D deals with failures to make required contributions. PBGC has issued Forms 10 and 10Advance and related instructions under subparts B and C (approved under OMB control number 1212–0013) and Form 200 and related instructions under subpart D (approved under OMB control number 1212–0041). OMB approval of both of these collections of information expires March 31, 2012. PBGC intends to request that OMB extend its approval for three years, with minor changes. 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 1,020 reportable event notices per year under subparts B and C of the reportable events regulation using Forms 10 and 10-Advance and that the average annual burden of this collection of information is 5,370 hours and $816,000. PBGC estimates that it will receive 110 notices of failure to make required contributions per year under subpart D of the reportable events regulation using Form 200 and that the average annual burden of this collection of information is 660 hours and $101,000. PBGC is soliciting public comments to— • Evaluate whether the proposed 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 proposed collections of information, including the validity of the methodologies and assumptions used; • Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and • Minimize the burden of the collections 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.
