This ICR
seeks to extend PRA authority for the
Multiple Employer Welfare
Arrangement (MEWA) Administrative
Law Judge (ALJ) Administrative Hearing
Procedures information collection
requirements codified in regulations 29
CFR 2571.3. Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA)
section 521 provides that the Secretary
of Labor may issue ex parte cease and
desist orders when it appears to the
Secretary that the alleged conduct of a
MEWA under ERISA section 3(40) is
fraudulent or creates an immediate
danger to the public safety or welfare or
is causing or can be reasonably expected
to cause significant, imminent, and
irreparable public injury. See 29 U.S.C.
1151, 2002(40). ERISA section 521(b)
provides that a person who is adversely
affected by the issuance of a cease and
desist order may request an
administrative hearing regarding the
order. See 29 U.S.C. 1151(b). The
regulatory provision that is the subject
of this ICR describes the procedures
before an ALJ when a person seeks an
administrative hearing for review of
such an order.
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 1210–0148.
OMB authorization for an ICR cannot
be for more than three (3) years without
renewal, and 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
November 23, 2015 (80 FR 72991).
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 thirty (30) days of
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register. In order to help ensure
appropriate consideration, comments
should mention OMB Control Number
1210–0148. 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.
