SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR
seeks to extend PRA authority for the
Suspension of Pension Benefits
Pursuant to Regulations 29 CFR
2530.203–3 information collection.
Employee Retirement Income Security
Act (ERISA) section 203(a)(3)(B), 29
U.S.C. 1103(a)(3)(B), and its
implementing regulations govern the
circumstances under which a pension
plan may suspend pension benefit
payments to a retiree who returns to
work or of a participant who continues
to work beyond normal retirement age.
In order for a plan to suspend benefits,
it must notify the affected retiree or
participant during the first calendar
month or payroll period in which the
plan withholds payment that benefits
are suspended. The notice must include
the specific reasons for such
suspension, a general description of the
plan provisions authorizing the
suspension, a copy of the relevant plan
provisions, and a statement indicating
where the applicable regulations may be

found, i.e., 29 CFR 2530.203–3. The
suspension notification must also
inform the retiree or participant of the
plan’s procedure for affording a review
of the suspension of benefits. ERISA
section 203 authorizes this information
collection. See 29 U.S.C. 1103.
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 1210–0048.
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
May 22, 2017 (82 FR 23303).
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
1210–0048. 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR
seeks to extend PRA authority for the
Powered Platforms for Building
Maintenance Standard information
collection. Requirements codified in
regulations 29 CFR 1910.66 provide that
an Occupational Safety and Health Act
(OSH Act) covered employer subject to
the Standard develop and implement a
written emergency action plan for each
type of powered platform operation. The
plan must explain the emergency
procedures to follow upon encountering
a disruption of the power supply,
equipment failure, or other emergency.
More specifically, the Standard requires
the employer to develop and maintain a
written emergency action plan and work
plan for training; affix a load rating plate
to each suspended unit; label each
emergency electric operating device
with instructions for use; attach a tag to
one of the fastenings holding a
suspension wire rope; and prepare and
maintain a written certification record
of the inspection and testing of each
building-support structure component
of a powered platform, powered
platform facility, and suspension wire
rope. OSH Act sections 2 and 8
authorize this information collection.
See 29 U.S.C. 651, 657.
