SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PBGC insures defined benefit pension plans covered under title IV of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). A plan is covered if it is described in section 4021(a) of ERISA and does not meet one of the exemptions from coverage listed in section 4021(b)(1)–(13). If a question arises about whether a plan is covered under title IV, PBGC may make a coverage determination. The proposed form and instructions would be used by a plan sponsor or plan administrator to request a coverage determination and would be suitable for all types of requests. The proposed form would highlight the four plan types for which coverage determinations are most frequently requested: (1) Church plans as listed in section 4021(b)(3) of ERISA; (2) plans that are established and maintained exclusively for the benefit of plan sponsors’ substantial owners as listed in section 4021(b)(9); (3) plans covering, since September 2, 1974, no more than 25 active participants that are E:\FR\FM\08MYN1.SGM 08MYN1 khammond on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 89 / Wednesday, May 8, 2019 / Notices established and maintained by professional services employers as listed in section 4021(b)(13); and (4) Puerto Rico-based plans within the meaning of section 1022(i)(1) of ERISA. PBGC needs this information collection to determine whether a plan is covered or not covered under title IV. Information provided to PBGC would be confidential to the extent provided in the Freedom of Information Act and the Privacy Act. On December 4, 2018, PBGC published in the Federal Register (at 83 FR 62629) a notice informing the public of its intent to request an approval of this collection of information. PBGC received comments from three commenters about this collection of information. One commenter expressed approval for the creation of the form for its intended purpose. The other two commenters recommended some changes. After consideration of these recommendations, PBGC made some changes to the form and instructions. Among the changes, in response to a suggestion to allow a plan not yet in existence to request a coverage determination, PBGC modified the form and instructions to enable certain plans not yet established to use the form to request an opinion from PBGC. The instructions now explain that, under a pilot program, a plan that is proposed but not yet established may request an opinion from PBGC as to whether the sponsoring employer is a professional service employer under section 4021(b)(13) of ERISA or whether all participants are substantial owners under section 4021(b)(9). The comments and PBGC’s rationale for its decisions are discussed in the supporting statement submitted to OMB for this information collection. PBGC is requesting that OMB approve of the collection for three years. 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 425 forms would be submitted each year. PBGC estimates that each form would require approximately 20 hours to complete by a combination of plan office staff (50%) and outside professionals (attorneys and actuaries) (50%). PBGC estimates an annual hour burden of 4,250 hours (based on plan office time). The estimated dollar equivalent of this hour burden, based on an assumed hourly rate of $75 for administrative, clerical, and supervisory time is $318,750. PBGC estimates an annual cost burden of $1,487,500 (based on 4,250 professional VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:57 May 07, 2019 Jkt 247001 hours assuming an average hourly rate of $350).

(‘‘Exchange’’ or ‘‘BZX’’) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule change as described in Items I and II below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The Exchange filed the proposal as a ‘‘non-controversial’’ proposed rule change pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act 3 and Rule 19b–4(f)(6) thereunder.4 The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons. I.

Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change 1. Purpose The Exchange proposes to list and trade the Notes 6 on the Exchange. The Exchange is submitting this proposed rule change because the Index 7 does not currently meet all of the ‘‘generic’’ listing requirements of BZX 14.11(d)(2)(K)(i)(a)(2) 8 applicable to the listing of Equity Index-Linked Securities. The Index meets all requirements of Rule 14.11(d)(2)(K)(i) except for Rule 14.11(d)(2)(K)(i)(a)(2)(C) 9 and will 6 The Exchange notes that the Notes are currently listed on Arca pursuant to that exchange’s generic listing standards. 7 The index underlying the Notes is the S&P MLP Index (the ‘‘Index’’). The Index is designed to provide exposure to leading partnerships that trade on major U.S. exchanges and are classified in the GICS Energy Sector and GICS Gas Utilities Industry according to the Global Industry Classification Standard. It includes both master limited partnerships (‘‘MLPs’’) and publicly traded limited liability companies which have a similar legal structure to MLPs and share the same tax benefits as MLPs (the ‘‘Index Constituents’’). The Index is calculated, maintained and published by S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC (the ‘‘Index Provider’’). The composition of the Index is rebalanced annually after the market close of the third Friday of October. 8 The Commission approved BZX Rule 14.11(d) in Securities Exchange Act Release No. 65225 (August 30, 2011), 76 FR 55148 (September 6, 2011) (SR– BATS–2011–018). 9 BZX Rule 14.11(d)(2)(K)(i)(a)(2)(C) provides that no underlying component security (excluding Derivative Securities Products and Linked Securities) will represent more than 25% of the weight of the index, and, to the extent applicable, the five highest weighted component securities in the index (excluding Derivative Securities Products and Linked Securities) do not in the aggregate account for more than 50% of the weight of the index (60% for an index consisting of fewer than 25 component securities). Specifically, the five highest weighted component securities in the Index, as defined below, represent 52% of the weight of the Index. E:\FR\FM\08MYN1.SGM 08MYN1
