This ICR
seeks approval under the PRA for
revisions to the Prohibited Transaction
Exemption 1986–128 For Securities
Transactions Involving Employee
Benefit Plans and Broker-Dealers. PTE
1986–128, as amended, permits persons
who serve as fiduciaries for employee
benefit plans and IRAs to effect or
execute securities transactions on behalf
of the plans and IRAs. The exemption
also allows a fiduciary to act as an agent
in an agency cross transaction for an
employee benefit plan or IRA and one
or more other parties to the transaction
and receive reasonable compensation
from the other party. The PTE requires
the fiduciary relying on the exemption
to obtain written authorization executed
in advance by an independent fiduciary
of the employee benefit plan whose
assets are involved in the transaction.
This information collection is a revision
because the Department is renewing the
information collections contained in
PTE 75–1 that had been in place prior
to 2016. Section 408 of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
(‘‘ERISA’’) authorizes this information
collection. See U.S. Code 29 U.S.C.
1108.
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 the OMB
under the PRA approves it 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–
0059.
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
June 30, 2019. 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

This ICR
seeks approval under the PRA for
revisions to the Unemployment
Compensation for Ex-Servicemembers
Handbook. The UCX law (5 U.S.C.
8521–8523) requires state workforce
agencies (SWAs) to administer the UCX
program in accordance with the same
terms and conditions of the paying
state’s unemployment insurance law,
which apply to unemployed claimants
who worked in the private sector. Each
state agency needs to obtain certain
military service information on
claimants filing for UCX benefits to
enable them to determine his/her
eligibility for benefits. This information
collection is a revision, because the ETA
841 report is no longer in use and was
removed from the collection request.
UCX law (5 U.S.C. 8521–8523) and
Social Security Act section 303(a)(6)
authorize this information collection.
See 5 U.S.C. 8523; 42 U.S.C. 503(a)(6)
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 the OMB
under the PRA approves it 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 1205–
0176. The current approval is scheduled
to expire on June 30, 2019; however, the
DOL notes that existing information
collection requirements submitted to the
OMB will receive a month-to-month
extension while they undergo review.
New requirements would only take
effect upon OMB approval. For
additional substantive information
about this ICR, see the related notice
published in the Federal Register on
December 28, 2018 (83 FR 67355).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks approval under the PRA for
revisions to the Prohibited Transaction Exemption 1986-128 For
Securities Transactions Involving Employee Benefit Plans and Broker-
Dealers. PTE 1986-128, as amended, permits persons who serve as
fiduciaries for employee benefit plans and IRAs to effect or execute
securities transactions on behalf of the plans and IRAs. The exemption
also allows a fiduciary to act as an agent in an agency cross
transaction for an employee benefit plan or IRA and one or more other
parties to the transaction and receive reasonable compensation from the
other party. The PTE requires the fiduciary relying on the exemption to
obtain written authorization executed in advance by an independent
fiduciary of the employee benefit plan whose assets are involved in the
transaction. This information collection is a revision because the
Department is renewing the information collections contained in PTE 75-
1 that had been in place prior to 2016. Section 408 of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (``ERISA'') authorizes this
information collection. See U.S. Code 29 U.S.C. 1108.
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 the OMB under the PRA approves it 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 1210-0059.
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 June 30, 2019. 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
