Service toll-free at 800–877–8339 and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A defined
benefit pension plan that does not have
enough money to pay benefits may be
terminated if the employer responsible
for the plan faces severe financial
difficulty, such as bankruptcy, and is
unable to maintain the plan. In such an
event, PBGC becomes trustee of the plan
and pays benefits, subject to legal limits,
to plan participants and beneficiaries.
The benefits of a pension plan
participant generally may not be
assigned or alienated. Title I of ERISA
provides an exception for domestic
relations orders that relate to child
support, alimony payments, or marital
property rights of an alternate payee (a
spouse, former spouse, child, or other
dependent of a plan participant). The
exception applies only if the domestic
relations order meets specific legal
PO 00000
Frm 00089
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
requirements that make it a qualified
domestic relations order (QDRO).
When PBGC is trustee of a plan, it
reviews submitted domestic relations
orders to determine whether the order is
qualified before paying benefits to an
alternate payee. The requirements for
submitting a domestic relations order
and the contents of such orders are
established by statute. The models and
the guidance provided by PBGC assist
parties by making it easier for them to
comply with ERISA’s QDRO
requirements in plans trusteed by PBGC;
they do not create any additional
requirements and result in a reduction
of the statutory burden.
The existing collection of information
was approved under OMB control
number 1212–0054 (expires December
31, 2018). On August 31, 2018, PBGC
published in the Federal Register (at 83
FR 44681), a notice informing the public
of its intent to request an extension of
this collection of information, as
modified. No comments were received.
PBGC is requesting that OMB extend
approval of the collection with
modifications for three years. The
modifications requested are not
material. An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.
PBGC estimates that it will receive
approximately 630 domestic relations
orders each year from prospective
alternate payees and participants. PBGC
further estimates that the total average
annual burden of this collection of
information will be approximately 473
hours and $945,000 based on revised
estimates since publication of the notice
on August 31.
Issued in Washington, DC.
