General Information
Sunshine Act; Notice of Agency
Meeting
tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
The attention of interested persons is
directed to the following:
(1) The fact that a transaction is the
subject of an exemption under section
408(a) of the Act and/or section
4975(c)(2) of the Code does not relieve
a fiduciary or other party in interest or
disqualified person from certain other
provisions of the Act and/or the Code,
including any prohibited transaction
provisions to which the exemption does
not apply and the general fiduciary
responsibility provisions of section 404
of the Act, which, among other things,
require a fiduciary to discharge his
duties respecting the plan solely in the
interest of the participants and
beneficiaries of the plan and in a
prudent fashion in accordance with
section 404(a)(1)(b) of the Act; nor does
it affect the requirement of section
401(a) of the Code that the plan must
operate for the exclusive benefit of the
employees of the employer maintaining
the plan and their beneficiaries;
(2) Before an exemption may be
granted under section 408(a) of the Act
and/or section 4975(c)(2) of the Code,
the Department must find that the
exemption is administratively feasible,
in the interests of the plan and of its
participants and beneficiaries, and
protective of the rights of participants
and beneficiaries of the plan;
(3) The proposed exemptions, if
granted, will be supplemental to, and
not in derogation of, any other
provisions of the Act and/or the Code,
including statutory or administrative
exemptions and transitional rules.
Furthermore, the fact that a transaction
is subject to an administrative or
statutory exemption is not dispositive of
whether the transaction is in fact a
prohibited transaction; and
(4) The proposed exemptions, if
granted, will be subject to the express
condition that the material facts and
representations contained in each
application are true and complete, and
that each application accurately
describes all material terms of the
transaction which is the subject of the
exemption.
Signed at Washington, DC, this 12th day of
July 2013.
Lyssa E. Hall,
Director, Office of Exemption Determinations,
Employee Benefits Security Administration,

NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION
Agency Information Collection
Activities: Comment Request
National Science Foundation.
Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The National Science
Foundation (NSF) has submitted the
following information collection
requirement to OMB for review and
clearance under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104–
13. This is the second notice for public
comment; the first was published in the
Federal Register at 78 FR 23598, and no
comments were received. NSF is
forwarding the proposed renewal
submission to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for clearance
simultaneously with the publication of
this second notice. The full submission
may be found at: https://
www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain.
Comments regarding (a) whether the
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the

functions f the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of burden including
the validity of the methodology and
assumptions used; (c) ways to enhance
the quality, utility and clarity of the
information to be collected; (d) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection 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 should be
addressed to: Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs of OMB, Attention:
Desk Officer for National Science
Foundation, 725—17th Street NW.
Room 10235, Washington, DC 20503,
and to Suzanne H. Plimpton, Reports
Clearance Officer, National Science
Foundation, 4201 Wilson Boulevard,
Suite 1265, Arlington, Virginia 22230 or
send email to splimpto@nsf.gov.
Comments regarding these information
collections are best assured of having
their full effect if received within 30
days of this notification. Copies of the
submission(s) may be obtained by
calling 703–292–7556.
NSF may not conduct or sponsor a
collection of information unless the
collection of information displays a
currently valid OMB control number
and the agency informs potential
persons who are to respond to the
collection of information that such
persons are not required to respond to
the collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title of
Collection: International Cover Page
Addendum
OMB Control No.: 3145–0205.
Abstract: The Office of International
Science and Engineering within the
Office of the NSF Director will use the
International Cover Page Addendum.
Principal Investigators submitting
proposals to this Office will be asked to
complete an electronic version of the
International Cover Page Addendum.
The Addendum requests foreign
counterpart investigator/host
information and participant
demographics not requested elsewhere
in NSF proposal documents.
The information gathered with the
International Cover Page Addendum
serves four purposes. The first is to
enable proposal assignment to the
program officer responsible for activity
with the primary countries involved. No
current component of a standard NSF
proposal requests this information. (The
international cooperative activities box
E:\FR\FM\22JYN1.SGM

43942
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 140 / Monday, July 22, 2013 / Notices
on the standard NSF Cover Page applies
only to one specific type of activity, not
the wide range of activities supported
by OISE.) NSF proposal assignment
applications are program element-based
and therefore can not be used to
determine assignment by country. The
second use of the information is
program management. OISE is
committed to investing in activities in
all regions of the world. With data from
this form, the Office can determine
submissions by geographic region.
Thirdly, funding decisions can not be
made without details for the
international partner not included in
any other part of the submission
process. The fourth section, counts of
scientists and students to be supported
by the project, are also not available
elsewhere in the proposal since OISE
budgets do not include participant
support costs. These factors are all
important for OISE program
management.
Estimated Number of Annual
Respondents: 600.
Burden on the Public: 150 hours (15
minutes per respondent).
Dated: July 16, 2013.

and TDD, call 800–877–8339 and
request connection to 202–326–4000,
ext. 6779.)
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Pension Protection Act of 2006 (Pub. L.
109–280) (PPA) requires the actuary of
a multiemployer plan in effect on July
16, 2006 to certify the plan’s status
within certain zones established under
PPA to the plan’s trustees and the
Secretary of the Treasury within 90 days
after the beginning of each plan year.
The certification must state whether or
not the plan meets any of the tests to be
in critical status or endangered status
and for a plan already in critical or
endangered status, whether the plan is
progressing as scheduled toward the
applicable statutory target for improved
funding. Plans in endangered and
critical status are restricted with respect
to the types of actions they may take
and the types of amendments they may
adopt, as well as required to follow
special rules during the adoption period
of collective bargaining agreements.
PBGC is researching the effects of
potential changes to its multiemployer
program. PBGC’s objective is to quantify
the effect of potential policy proposals
on multiemployer plans that are or
could enter critical status with respect
to projected dates of insolvency, amount
of financial assistance that PBGC would
be required to provide, and the benefit
PO 00000
Frm 00095
Fmt 4703

changes plan participants would
experience. To assist in this research,
PBGC is requesting that OMB approve
an information collection request of
multiemployer pension plans, their
actuarial service providers, and their
stakeholders, including unions and
relevant professional and trade
organizations.
PBGC would request the following
types of information (which are
routinely provided to plan actuaries):
• The most recent actuarial valuation
report.
• The most recent cash flow
projections that the plan actuary
developed in connection with the plan’s
rehabilitation plan annual update and a
summary of the actuarial assumptions
utilized in the projections.
• Participant census data, including
accrued benefit, date of birth, date
credited service began (for both active
and inactive participants, if available),
gender, form of payment and other data
for participants in pay status, and any
plan specific data needed to replicate
actuarial valuation results.
PBGC believes the data requested
would be readily available and there
would be no need to assemble new
information. PBGC would not ask for
any personally identifiable information
(such as name, address, social security
number, etc.) in the participant census
data.
This information collection would be
voluntary on the part of respondents
and any information provided in
response to this request would not be
used for any PBGC enforcement
activities. Instead, such information will
be used only for research into policy
alternatives and would be subject to
PBGC’s standard confidentiality
agreement. The names of the plans
submitting data in support of PBGC’s
research would not appear in any report
distributed outside of PBGC.
PBGC is requesting that OMB approve
this collection of information for three
years. 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 between 40 to 50
plans would respond to this collection
of information. PBGC further estimates
that the average burden of this
collection of information would be four
hours and $1,280 per plan, with an
average total burden of 180 hours and
$57,600.
