specified types of transactions that violate (or are suspected of 
violating) Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), 29 
U.S.C. 1001 et seq., prohibited transaction provisions and for securing 
DOL assurance that the agency will take no further action with respect 
to the corrected transaction. The exemption, under specified 
conditions, relieves an applicant making a correction under the VFCP of 
additional taxes due pursuant to Internal Revenue Code section 4975. 
See 26 U.S.C. 4975. ERISA section 502 authorizes this information 
collection. See 29 U.S.C. 1132.
    This information collection is subject to the PRA. A Federal agency

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

    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 August 31, 2015. 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 June 17, 2015 (80 FR
