Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3507(a)(1)(D).
This ICR
seeks to extend PRA authority for the
Construction Standards on Posting
Emergency Telephone Numbers and
Floor Load Limits information
collection. Regulations 29 CFR
1926.50(f) requires an Occupational
Safety and Health Act (OSH Act)
covered employers engaged in
construction to post emergency
telephone numbers at the worksite. If
the 911 emergency telephone service is
not available; 29 CFR 250(a)(2) requires
a subject employer to post the maximum
safe load limit of a floor located in a
storage area inside a building or other
structure, unless the floor is on grade.
Occupational Safety and Health Act of
1970, section 2(b)(9) and 6(b)(7)
authorizes this information collection.
See 29 U.S.C. 651(b)(9), 655(b)(7).
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

existing information collection
requirements submitted to the OMB
receive a month-to-month extension
while they undergo review. For

This ICR
seeks to extend PRA authority for the
Alternative Reporting Methods for
Apprenticeship and Training Plans and
Top Hat Plans information collection.
Section 2520.104–22 provides an
exemption to the reporting and
provision of Part 1 of Title I of ERISA
for employee welfare benefit plans that
provide exclusively apprenticeship and
training benefits if the plan
administrator meets the following
requirements: (1) Files a notice with the
Secretary that provides the name of the
plan, the plan sponsor’s Employer
Identification Number, the plan
administrator’s name, and the name and
location of an office or person from
whom interested individuals can obtain
certain info about courses offered by the
plan; and (2) take steps reasonably
designed to ensure that the information
required to be contained in the notice is
disclosed to employees of employers
contribution to the plan who may be
eligible to enroll in any course of study
sponsored or establish by the plan; (3)
and make the notice available to
employees upon request. Under
2520.104–23, the Department provides
an alternative method of compliance
with the reporting and disclosure of
Title I of ERISA for unfunded or insured
plan established for a select group of
management of highly compensated
employees (i.e., top hat plans). In order
to satisfy the alternative method of
compliance, the plan administrator
must file a statement with the Secretary
of Labor that includes the name and
address of the employer, the employer
EIN, a declaration that the employer
maintains a plan or plans primarily for
the purpose of providing deferred
compensation for a select group of
management or highly compensated
employees, and a statement of the
number of such plans and the
employees covered by each. Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
authorizes this information collection.
See 29 U.S.C. 1023.
