National Science Board; Sunshine Act Meetings, 76769-76771 [2011-31660]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 236 / Thursday, December 8, 2011 / Notices workers assigned to enter regulated areas; informing workers of their medical examination results; and providing workers with access to their medical records. Further, employers must retain worker medical records for specified time periods and make them available upon request to OSHA and NIOSH. II. Special Issues for Comment OSHA has a particular interest in comments on the following issues: • Whether the proposed information collection requirements are necessary for the proper performance of the Agency’s functions, including whether the information is useful; • The accuracy of OSHA’s estimate of the burden (time and costs) of the information collection requirements, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; • The quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; and • Ways to minimize the burden on employers who must comply; for example, by using automated or other technological information collection and transmission techniques. mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES III. Proposed Actions OSHA is requesting an adjustment decrease in burden hours from 1,598 to 1,472 (a total decrease of 126 hours). The decrease is due to a correction made to the burden hour time estimates associated with reviewing and updating existing decontamination procedures (from one hour to 15 minutes) and with reviewing, updating and posting existing instructions for the entry and exit procedures for regulated areas, and of existing emergency procedures (from one and a quarter hours (1.25 hours) to 15 minutes). The agency estimates an increase in both the number of establishments (from 93 to 95 establishments) and the number of exposed workers (from 643 to 657). Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection. Title: 13 Carcinogens Standard (29 CFR 1910.1003). OMB Number: 1218–0085. Affected Public: Business or other forprofits; Federal Government; State, Local or Tribal Government. Number of Respondents: 95. Frequency: On occasion; Annually. Total Responses: 2,162. Average Time per Response: Time per response ranges from approximately 5 minutes (for employers to maintain records) to 2 hours (for worker medical surveillance). Estimated Total Burden Hours: 1,472. Estimated Cost (Operation and Maintenance): $99,207. VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:59 Dec 07, 2011 Jkt 226001 IV.

ACTION: Notice of intention to request extension of OMB approval. AGENCY: The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) intends to request that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) extend approval, under the Paperwork Reduction Act, of two collections of information under PBGC’s regulation on Reportable Events and Certain Other Notification Requirements (OMB control numbers 1212–0013 and mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:59 Dec 07, 2011 Jkt 226001 1212–0041, expiring March 31, 2012). This notice informs the public of PBGC’s intent and solicits public comment on the collections of information. DATES: Comments must be submitted by February 6, 2012. ADDRESSES: Comments may be submitted by any of the following methods: • Federal eRulemaking Portal: https:// www.regulations.gov. Follow the Web site instructions for submitting comments. • Email: paperwork.comments@pbgc.gov. • Fax: (202) 326–4224. • Mail or Hand Delivery: Legislative and Regulatory Department, Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, 1200 K Street NW., Washington, DC 20005– 4026. Comments received, including personal information provided, will be posted to www.pbgc.gov. Copies of the collections of information and comments may be obtained without charge by writing to Disclosure Division, Office of the General Counsel, Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, 1200 K Street NW., Washington, DC 20005–4026; visiting the Disclosure Division; faxing a request to (202) 326–4042; or calling (202) 326–4040 during normal business hours. (TTY/TDD users may call the Federal relay service toll-free at 1–(800) 877–8339 and ask to be connected to (202) 326–4040.) The reportable events regulation, forms, and instructions are available at www.pbgc.gov. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: James Bloch, Program Analyst, Legislative and Policy Division, or Catherine B. Klion, Manager, Regulatory and Policy Division, Legislative and Regulatory Department, Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, 1200 K Street NW., Washington, DC 20005–4026; (202) 326–4024. (TTY/TDD users may call the Federal relay service toll-free at 1–(800) 877–8339 and ask to be connected to (202) 326–4024.) SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 23, 2009, PBGC published (at 74 FR 61248) a proposed rule to amend the reportable events regulation to accommodate changes to the variablerate premium (VRP) rules made pursuant to the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (PPA 2006). The rule also proposed to eliminate most automatic waivers and filing extensions, create two new reportable events based on provisions in PPA 2006, and make other changes to the reportable events regulation as well as conforming changes. Public comment on the PO 00000 Frm 00083 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 76771 proposed rule was directed primarily at the proposed elimination of the waivers and extensions and was generally negative. In response to the comments and in the spirit of Executive Order 13563 on Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review, PBGC plans to issue a new proposal that will more effectively target troubled plans and sponsors while reducing burden for those that are financially sound. PBGC is requesting OMB to extend approval of the existing information collections since current approval will expire in March 2012. Section 4043 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) requires plan administrators and plan sponsors to report certain plan and employer events to PBGC. The reporting requirements give PBGC notice of events that indicate plan or employer financial problems. PBGC uses the information provided in determining what, if any, action it needs to take. For example, PBGC might need to institute proceedings to terminate a plan (placing it in trusteeship) under section 4042 of ERISA to ensure the continued payment of benefits to plan participants and their beneficiaries or to prevent unreasonable increases in PBGC’s losses. Section 303(k) of ERISA and section 430(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (Code) impose a lien in favor of an underfunded single-employer plan that is covered by the termination insurance program under title IV of ERISA if (1) Any person fails to make a contribution payment when due, and (2) the unpaid balance of that payment (including interest), when added to the aggregate unpaid balance of all preceding payments for which payment was not made when due (including interest), exceeds $1 million. (For this purpose, a plan is underfunded if its funding target attainment percentage is less than 100 percent.) The lien is upon all property and rights to property belonging to the person or persons that are liable for required contributions (i.e., a contributing sponsor and each member of the controlled group of which that contributing sponsor is a member). Only PBGC (or, at its direction, the plan’s contributing sponsor or a member of the same controlled group) may perfect and enforce this lien. ERISA and the Code require persons committing payment failures to notify PBGC within 10 days of the due date whenever there is a failure to make a required payment and the total of the unpaid balances (including interest) exceeds $1 million. The provisions of section 4043 of ERISA and of sections 303(k) of ERISA and 430(k) of the Code have been E:\FR\FM\08DEN1.SGM 08DEN1
