The Paul
Wellstone and Pete Domenici Mental
Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act
of 2008 (MHPAEA), Public Law 110–
343 Division C, amends the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
(ERISA), the Public Health Service Act
(PHS Act), and the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986 (Code). In 1996, Congress
enacted the Mental Health Parity Act of
1996, which required parity in aggregate
lifetime and annual dollar limits for
mental health benefits and medical and
surgical benefits. Those mental health
parity provisions and the changes the
MHPAEA made are codified in ERISA
section 712, PHS Act section 2705, and
Code section 9812. The MHPAEA and
regulations 29 CFR 2590.712(d) require
a covered plan administrator to disclose
the criteria for medical necessity
determinations with respect to mental
health and substance use disorder
benefits. These third-party disclosures
are information collections 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 1210–0138. The current
approval is scheduled to expire on
January 31, 2013; 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
related notice published in the Federal
Register on November 27, 2013 (77 FR
70828).
Interested parties are encouraged to
send comments to the OMB, Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs at
the address shown in the ADDRESSES
section by March 4, 2013. In order to
help ensure appropriate consideration,
comments should mention OMB Control
Number 1210–0138. The OMB is
particularly interested in comments
that:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary

technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
