SUMMARY:

Frm 00080
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
This ICR
seeks to extend PRA authority for the
Notice Requirements of the Health Care
Continuation Coverage Provisions
information collection. The
Consolidated Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1985 (COBRA)
provides that, under certain
circumstances, a group health plan
participant or beneficiary who meets the
COBRA qualified beneficiaries
definition may elect to continue group
health coverage temporarily following a
qualifying event that would otherwise
result in loss of coverage. This ICR
covers the information collection
requirements for plan administrators to
distribute notices as follows: A general
notice to be distributed to all
participants in group health plans
subject to the COBRA; an employer
notice that must be completed by the
employer upon the occurrence of a
qualifying event; a notice and election
form to be sent to a participant upon the
occurrence of a qualifying event that
might cause the participant to lose
group health coverage; an employee
notice that may be completed by a
qualified beneficiary upon the
occurrence of certain qualifying events
such as divorce or disability; and, two
other notices, one of early termination
and the other a notice of unavailability.
Also included in the ICR are two model
notices that the Department believes
will help reduce costs for service
providers in preparing and delivering
notices to comply with the regulations.
Employee Retirement Income Security
Act sections 606 and 608 authorize this
information collection. See 29 U.S.C.
1166 and 1168.
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 1210–0123.
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
October 31, 2016. The DOL seeks to
extend PRA authorization for this
information collection for three (3) more
years, without any change to existing

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
