The Annual Return/Report of Employee Benefit Plan, Form 5500, is the primary source of information concerning the operation, funding, assets, and investments of pension and other employee benefit plans. In addition to being an important disclosure document for plan participants and beneficiaries, Form 5500 is a compliance and research tool for the EBSA, Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, and Internal Revenue Service. It is also a source of information for use by other Federal agencies, Congress, and the private sector in assessing employee benefit, tax, and economic trends and policies. Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 section 103 authorizes this information collection. See 29 U.S.C. 1023 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 1210–0110. 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 SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request; Annual Information Return/Report of Employee Benefit Plan ACTION: Office of Management and Budget, Room 10235, 725 17th Street NW., Washington, DC 20503; by Fax: 202– 395–5806 (this is not a toll-free number); or by email: OIRA_ submission@omb.eop.gov.
