SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: An
employee group health benefit plan or
its issuer that imposes a preexisting
condition exclusion period must give, as
part of any enrollment application, an
employee eligible for coverage a general
notice that describes the plan’s
preexisting condition exclusion—
including that the plan will reduce the
maximum exclusion period by the
length of an employee’s prior creditable
coverage. If there are no such
enrollment materials, the notice must be
provided as soon after a request for
enrollment as is reasonably possible.
The EBSA has provided sample
language for the general notice. See 29
CFR 2590.701–3(c).
A plan that uses the alternative
method of crediting coverage provided
in the applicable regulations must
disclose the use of that method at the
time of enrollment and describe how the
method operates. The plan must also
explain that a participant has a right to
establish prior creditable coverage
through a certificate or other means and
to request a certificate of prior coverage
from a prior plan or issuer. Finally, a
plan or issuer must offer to assist the
participant in obtaining a certificate
from a prior plan or issuer, if necessary.
See 29 CFR 2590.701–4(c)(4).
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless it is
approved by the OMB under the PRA
and displays a currently valid OMB
Control Number. In addition,
notwithstanding any other provisions of
law, no person shall generally be subject
to penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information that does not
display a valid Control Number. See 5
CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL
obtains OMB approval for this
information collection under Control
Number 1210–0102. The current
approval is scheduled to expire on
December 31, 2012; however, it should
be noted that existing information
collection requirements submitted to the
OMB receive a month-to-month
extension while they undergo review.
For additional information, see the

mention OMB Control Number 1210–
0102. The OMB is particularly
interested in comments that:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
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
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the

• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
