The ICR
seeks to maintain PRA authority to
conduct information collections
contained in the regulation related to
plan participants and beneficiaries who
are parties in interest with respect to the
plan, 29 CFR 2550.408b–1. The
Employee Retirement Income Security
Act (ERISA) prohibits a plan fiduciary
from causing the plan to engage in a
transaction, if the fiduciary knows or
should know the transaction constitutes
a direct or indirect loan or extension of
credit between the plan and a party in
interest. ERISA section 408(b)(1)
exempts from this prohibition a loan
from a plan to a party in interest who
is also a plan participant or beneficiary,
provided satisfaction of certain
requirements. DOL regulations
implementing the statutory provision
provide additional guidance.
Specifically, regulations 29 CFR
2550.408b–1(d) prescribes eight specific
provisions that must be included in the
plan documents, including: (1) An
explicit authorization for the plan
fiduciary responsible for investing plan
assets to establish such a loan program,
(2) the identity of the person or position
authorized to administer the program,
(3) a procedure for applying for loans,
(4) the basis on which loans will be
approved or denied, (5) limitations, if
any, on the types and amounts of loans
offered, (6) the procedure for
determining a reasonable interest rate,
(7) types of collateral that may secure a
participant loan, and (8) the events
constituting default and the steps that
will be taken to preserve plan assets in
the event of such default.
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 1210–0076.
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

Brazing Standard, regulations 29 CFR
part 1910, subpart Q. More specifically,
regulations 29 CFR 1910.255(e) requires
that a periodic inspection of resistance
welding equipment be made by
qualified maintenance personnel and a

include the date of the inspection, the

the inspection and the serial number, or
other identifier, for the equipment

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The ICR seeks to maintain PRA authority to
conduct information collections contained in the regulation related to
plan participants and beneficiaries who are parties in interest with
respect to the plan, 29 CFR 2550.408b-1. The Employee Retirement Income
Security Act (ERISA) prohibits a plan fiduciary from causing the plan
to engage in a transaction, if the fiduciary knows or should know the
transaction constitutes a direct or indirect loan or extension of
credit between the plan and a party in interest. ERISA section
408(b)(1) exempts from this prohibition a loan from a plan to a party
in interest who is also a plan participant or beneficiary, provided
satisfaction of certain requirements. DOL regulations implementing the
statutory provision provide additional guidance. Specifically,
regulations 29 CFR 2550.408b-1(d) prescribes eight specific provisions
that must be included in the plan documents, including: (1) An explicit
authorization for the plan fiduciary responsible for investing plan
assets to establish such a loan program, (2) the identity of the person
or position authorized to administer the program, (3) a procedure for
applying for loans, (4) the basis on which loans will be approved or
denied, (5) limitations, if any, on the types and amounts of loans
offered, (6) the procedure for determining a reasonable interest rate,
(7) types of collateral that may secure a participant loan, and (8) the
events constituting default and the steps that will be taken to
preserve plan assets in the event of such default.
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 1210-0076.
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
[[Page 75947]]
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.
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 1210-0076.
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
