SUMMARY:
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:03 Dec 06, 2013
This ICR
seeks to maintain PRA authority for
information collection activities related
to Prohibited Transaction Class
Exemption (PTE) 1985–68, which
permits an employee benefit plan to
invest in an employer’s customer notes
under circumstances the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
and Internal Revenue Code of 1986
would otherwise prohibit. More
specifically, this PTE describes the
conditions under which a plan may
acquire customer notes accepted by an
employer of employees covered by the
plan in the ordinary course of the
employer’s business activity and, thus,
be exempt from the prohibited
transaction restrictions; provided, the
exemption conditions are met. The PTE
covers sales as well as contributions of
customer notes by an employer to its
plan. The customer notes must have
been accepted by the employer in its
primary business activity as the seller of
tangible personal property that is being
financed by the notes, so that the
exemption does not apply to notes of an
employer’s affiliate.
The PTE includes a recordkeeping
provision that requires a plan seeking to
use the exemption to maintain records
that enable an interested party to
determine whether the exemption
conditions have been met. These
records must be maintained for six (6)
years from the date of the transaction.
The PTE also requires those records be
made available to certain persons on
request. Without this recordkeeping
requirement, the DOL would be
hampered in enforcing the exemption
terms and ensure user compliance.
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

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 1210–0094.
OMB authorization for an ICR cannot
be for more than three (3) years without
renewal, and the current approval for
this collection is scheduled to expire on
December 31, 2013. The DOL seeks to
extend PRA authorization for this
information collection for three (3) more
years, without any change to existing
requirements. The DOL notes that
existing information collection
requirements submitted to the OMB
receive a month-to-month extension
while they undergo review. For
additional substantive information
about this ICR, see the related notice
published in the Federal Register on
May 22, 2013 (78 FR 30333).
Interested parties are encouraged to
send comments to the OMB, Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs at
the address shown in the ADDRESSES
section within 30 days of publication of
this notice in the Federal Register. In
order to help ensure appropriate
consideration, comments should
mention OMB Control Number 1210–
0094. 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
methodology and assumptions used;
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• 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,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses.
