that the NitrexTM system SEP will
reduce discharges at Captree by
approximately 378 pounds per year,
which is 40 additional pounds of
nitrogen reduction compared with the
estimated reduction from the
constructed wetland SEP. The NitrexTM
system SEP also will disturb less of an
adjacent shoreline. Additionally, under
the Amendment, the SEP offers a public
educational component to demonstrate
the nitrogen cycle and environmental
benefits of nitrogen removal.

SUMMARY:

Frm 00066
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
This ICR
seeks to extend PRA authority for the
Annual Funding Notice for Defined
Benefit Pension Plans information
collection. Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) section
101(f) sets forth the requirements
applicable to furnishing defined benefit
plan annual funding notices to the
Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation,
each plan participant and beneficiary,
each labor organization representing
such participants or beneficiaries, and
each employer obligated to make
contributions to a multiemployer plan.
An annual funding notice must include,
among other things, the plan’s funding
percentage, a statement of the value of
the plan’s assets and liabilities and a
description of how the plan’s assets are
invested as of specific dates, and a
description of the benefits under the
plan that are eligible to be guaranteed by
the PBGC. ERISA sections 101(f) and
102 authorize this information
collection. See 29 U.S.C. 1021(f), 1022.
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 1210–0126.
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
April 30, 2018. 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
October 12, 2017 (82 FR 47581).
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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR
seeks approval under the PRA for
revisions to the Local Area
Unemployment Statistics (LAUS)
Program information collection. The
BLS has the statutory responsibility of
collecting and publishing monthly
information on employment, the average
wage received, and the hours worked by
area and industry. The LAUS program
develops residency-based employment
and unemployment statistics through a
cooperative Federal-State program that
uses employment and unemployment
inputs available in State agencies. State
agencies prepare monthly estimates and
transmit them to the BLS for validation
and publication. This information
collection has been classified as a
revision, because of changes to LAUS
Technical Memoranda. The BLS

defined benefit plan annual funding notices to the Pension Benefit

labor organization representing such participants or beneficiaries, and
each employer obligated to make contributions to a multiemployer plan.
An annual funding notice must include, among other things, the plan's
funding percentage, a statement of the value of the plan's assets and
liabilities and a description of how the plan's assets are invested as
of specific dates, and a description of the benefits under the plan

under Control Number 1210-0126.
OMB authorization for an ICR cannot be for more than three (3)
years without renewal, and the current approval for this collection is

authorization for this information collection for three (3) more years,
