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 1240-0006. The DOL notes that existing information 
collection requirements submitted to the OMB remain in effect while 
they undergo review. New requirements would only take effect upon OMB 
approval. For additional substantive information about this ICR, see
