(For TTY and TDD, call 800–877–8339 and ask to be connected to 202–326– 4024.) Sections 4041 and 4042 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA), 29 U.S.C 1301– 1461, govern the termination of singleemployer defined benefit pension plans that are subject to Title IV of ERISA. A plan administrator may initiate a distress termination under section 4041(c), and PBGC may itself initiate proceedings to terminate a pension plan under section 4042 if PBGC determines that certain conditions are present. Sections 4041 and 4042 of ERISA were amended by Section 506 of the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (Pub. L. 109–280) to require that, upon a request by an affected party— • A plan administrator must disclose information it has submitted to PBGC in connection with a distress termination filing, and • A plan administrator or plan sponsor must disclose information it has submitted to PBGC in connection with a PBGC-initiated termination. PBGC is also required to disclose the administrative record relating to a PBGC-initiated termination upon request by an affected party. The above provisions are applicable to terminations initiated on or after August 17, 2006. The applicable regulatory provisions can be found at 29 CFR 4041.51 and 4042.5. This collection of information has been approved by OMB under control number 1212–0065 (expires September 30, 2014). PBGC is requesting that OMB extend its approval for three years, without change. 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. Based on its experience and information from practitioners, PBGC estimates that two participants or other affected parties will annually make requests for termination information.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Sections 4041 and 4042 of the Employee 
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA), 29 U.S.C 
1301-1461, govern the termination of single-employer defined benefit 
pension plans that are subject to Title IV of ERISA. A plan 
administrator may initiate a distress termination under section 
4041(c), and PBGC may itself initiate proceedings to terminate a 
pension plan under section 4042 if PBGC determines that certain 
conditions are present. Sections 4041 and 4042 of ERISA were amended by 
Section 506 of the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (Pub. L. 109-280) to 
require that, upon a request by an affected party--
     A plan administrator must disclose information it has 
submitted to PBGC in connection with a distress termination filing, and
     A plan administrator or plan sponsor must disclose 
information it has submitted to PBGC in connection with a PBGC-
initiated termination.
    PBGC is also required to disclose the administrative record 
relating to a PBGC-initiated termination upon request by an affected 
party. The above provisions are applicable to terminations initiated on 
or after August 17, 2006. The applicable regulatory provisions can be 
found at 29 CFR 4041.51 and 4042.5.
    This collection of information has been approved by OMB under 
control number 1212-0065 (expires September 30, 2014). PBGC is 
requesting that OMB extend its approval for three years, without 
change. 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.
    Based on its experience and information from practitioners, PBGC 
estimates that two participants or other affected parties will annually 
make requests for termination information. PBGC estimates that the 
total annual burden for the collection of information will be about 30 
hours and $600 (15 hours and $300 per request).

    Issued in Washington, DC, this 21st day of August 2014.
Philip R. Hertz,
Deputy General Counsel, Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation.
