Download as PDF srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 59682 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 189 / Friday, September 28, 2012 / Notices identification (ID) certificate, which allows the participant (or its counsel or representative) to digitally sign documents and access the E-Submittal server for any proceeding in which it is participating; and (2) advise the Secretary that the participant will be submitting a request or petition for hearing (even in instances in which the participant, or its counsel or representative, already holds an NRCissued digital ID certificate). Based upon this information, the Secretary will establish an electronic docket for the hearing in this proceeding if the Secretary has not already established an electronic docket. Information about applying for a digital ID certificate is available on the NRC’s public Web site at https:// www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals/ apply-certificates.html. System requirements for accessing the ESubmittal server are detailed in the NRC’s ‘‘Guidance for Electronic Submission,’’ which is available on the agency’s public Web site at https:// www.nrc.gov/site-help/esubmittals.html. Participants may attempt to use other software not listed on the Web site, but should note that the NRC’s E-Filing system does not support unlisted software, and the NRC Meta System Help Desk will not be able to offer assistance in using unlisted software. If a participant is electronically submitting a document to the NRC in accordance with the E-Filing rule, the participant must file the document using the NRC’s online, Web-based submission form. In order to serve documents through the Electronic Information Exchange System, users will be required to install a Web browser plug-in from the NRC’s Web site. Further information on the Webbased submission form, including the installation of the Web browser plug-in, is available on the NRC’s public Web site at https://www.nrc.gov/site-help/esubmittals.html. Once a participant has obtained a digital ID certificate and a docket has been created, the participant can then submit a request for hearing or petition for leave to intervene. Submissions should be in Portable Document Format (PDF) in accordance with the NRC guidance available on the NRC’s public Web site at https://www.nrc.gov/sitehelp/e-submittals.html. A filing is considered complete at the time the documents are submitted through the NRC’s E-Filing system. To be timely, an electronic filing must be submitted to the E-Filing system no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. Upon receipt of a transmission, the E- VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:28 Sep 27, 2012 Jkt 226001 Filing system time-stamps the document and sends the submitter an email notice confirming receipt of the document. The E-Filing system also distributes an email notice that provides access to the document to the NRC’s Office of the General Counsel and any others who have advised the Office of the Secretary that they wish to participate in the proceeding, so that the filer need not serve the documents on those participants separately. Therefore, applicants and other participants (or their counsel or representative) must apply for and receive a digital ID certificate before a hearing request/ petition to intervene is filed so that they can obtain access to the document via the E-Filing system. A person filing electronically using the agency’s adjudicatory E-Filing system may seek assistance by contacting the NRC Meta System Help Desk through the ‘‘Contact Us’’ link located on the NRC’s Web site at https://www.nrc.gov/site-help/esubmittals.html, by email at MSHD.Resource@nrc.gov, or by a tollfree call at 1–866–672–7640. The NRC Meta System Help Desk is available between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., Eastern Time, Monday through Friday, excluding government holidays. Participants who believe that they have a good cause for not submitting documents electronically must file an exemption request, in accordance with 10 CFR 2.302(g), with their initial paper filing requesting authorization to continue to submit documents in paper format. Such filings must be submitted by: (1) First class mail addressed to the Office of the Secretary of the Commission, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555– 0001, Attention: Rulemaking and Adjudications Staff; or (2) courier, express mail, or expedited delivery service to the Office of the Secretary, Sixteenth Floor, One White Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland 20852, Attention: Rulemaking and Adjudications Staff. Participants filing a document in this manner are responsible for serving the document on all other participants. Filing is considered complete by first-class mail as of the time of deposit in the mail, or by courier, express mail, or expedited delivery service upon depositing the document with the provider of the service. A presiding officer, having granted an exemption request from using E-Filing, may require a participant or party to use E-Filing if the presiding officer subsequently determines that the reason for granting the exemption from use of E-Filing no longer exists. PO 00000 Frm 00093 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Documents submitted in adjudicatory proceedings will appear in the NRC’s electronic hearing docket which is available to the public at https:// ehd1.nrc.gov/ehd/, unless excluded pursuant to an order of the Commission, or the presiding officer. Participants are requested not to include personal privacy information, such as social security numbers, home addresses, or home phone numbers in their filings, unless an NRC regulation or other law requires submission of such information. With respect to copyrighted works, except for limited excerpts that serve the purpose of the adjudicatory filings and would constitute a Fair Use application, participants are requested not to include copyrighted materials in their submission.

All requested information is needed to enable PBGC to determine benefit entitlements and to make appropriate payments, or to provide respondents with specific information about their pension plan so they may obtain rough estimates of their benefits.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PBGC is requesting that OMB approve 
modifications to an information collection needed to locate and pay 
participants and beneficiaries who may be entitled to pension benefits 
under a defined benefit plan that has terminated. The collection 
consists of information that participants and beneficiaries are asked 
to provide when applying for benefits. In addition, in some instances, 
as part of a search for participants and beneficiaries who may be 
entitled to benefits, PBGC requests individuals to provide identifying 
information that the individual would provide as part of an initial 
contact with PBGC. The information collection also includes My Pension 
Benefit Account (My PBA), an application on PBGC's Web site, https://www.pbgc.gov, through which plan participants and beneficiaries may 
conduct electronic transactions with PBGC, including applying for 
pension benefits, designating a beneficiary, changing contact 
information, and applying for electronic direct deposit. All requested 
information is needed to enable PBGC to determine benefit entitlements 
and to make appropriate payments, or to provide respondents with 
specific information about their pension plan so they may obtain rough 
estimates of their benefits.
    PBGC will add one new form to the information collection and modify 
several existing forms to conform to recent changes in PBGC and 
Treasury regulations.
    PBGC is adding Form 721T to collect tax withholding information for 
one-time payments that are not eligible for rollover. Currently, Form 
721 is used for that purpose, as well as for payments that are eligible 
for rollover. However, because of tax withholding changes for rollover-
eligible payments for non-spouse beneficiaries, it is necessary to have 
a separate form to collect information on payments not eligible for 
rollover.
    PBGC is modifying--
     Form 718 (installment payment agreement) to conform to 
changes in PBGC's regulation on debt collection, 29 CFR part 4903;
     Forms 700, 705, and 706 (benefit application forms for 
participants and beneficiaries) and Form 710 (application for 
electronic direct deposit) to conform to the Department of Treasury's 
regulation on electronic funds transfer, 31 CFR part 208;
     Form 721 (application for payment eligible for rollover--
non-spouse beneficiary) to conform to IRS changes to withholding for 
payments eligible for rollover that are made directly to non-spouse 
beneficiaries;
     Forms containing sections on spousal consent to 
participants' waivers to explicitly state that spouses have the right 
not to consent;
     Forms referring to domestic relations orders or qualified 
domestic relations orders to clarify the information that must be 
provided with regard to each; and
     Forms referring to various retirement vehicles (e.g., 
traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs, qualified retirement plans) to conform to 
terms used in the Special Tax Notice, which is attached to several 
forms.
    In addition, PBGC is making clarifying, simplifying, editorial, and 
other changes to almost all forms in the information collection.
    The collection of information has been approved by OMB under 
control number 1212-0055 (expires December 31, 2013). PBGC is 
requesting that OMB extend its approval (with modifications) for three 
years from its approval date. 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 the average annual burden associated with this 
collection of information will be 87,491 hours and $2,270 for the next 
three years. The burden estimate includes 84,101 hours and $2,220 for 
participants in plans covered by the PBGC insurance program. The 
remaining burden is attributable to participants expected to be covered 
by the expanded Missing Participants program under Pension Protection 
Act of 2006 amendments to ERISA, once final regulations are issued to 
implement the program.

    Issued in Washington, DC, this 24th day of September 2012.
