helps the public understand the
Department’s information collection
requirements and provide the requested
data in the desired format. The
Employee Benefits Security
Administration (EBSA) is soliciting
comments on the proposed extension of
the information collection requests
(ICRs) contained in the documents
described below. A copy of the ICRs
may be obtained by contacting the office
listed in the ADDRESSES section of this

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice requests public comment on the
Department’s request for extension of
the Office of Management and Budget’s
(OMB) approval of ICRs contained in
the rules and prohibited transaction
exemptions described below. The
Department is not proposing any
changes to the existing ICRs at this time.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor,
and a person is not required to respond
to, an information collection unless it
displays a valid OMB control number. A
summary of the ICRs and the current
burden estimates follows:
Agency: Employee Benefits Security
Administration, Department of Labor.
Title: Delinquent Filer Voluntary
Compliance Program.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection of
information.
OMB Number: 1210–0089.
Affected Public: Private Sector.
Respondents: 11,554.
Responses: 11,554.
Estimated Total Burden Cost
(Operating and Maintenance): 898,265.
Description: On April 27, 1995, the
Department implemented the
Delinquent Filer Voluntary Compliance
Program (the DFVC Program). Under the
DFVC Program, administrators
otherwise subject to the assessment of
higher civil penalties are permitted to
pay reduced civil penalties for
voluntarily complying with the annual
reporting requirements under Title I of
ERISA. The program also helps plan
officials understand the law and gives
immediate relief from payment of excise
taxes under a class exemption.
This information collection requires
providing data necessary to identify the
plan along with the penalty payment.
With respect to most pension plans and
welfare plans, the requirement is
satisfied by sending, along with the
penalty payment, a copy of the
delinquent annual report (without
attachments or schedules) which is filed
with the Department at a different
address under the EFAST system. In the
event that the plan administrator files
the delinquent annual report using a
1998 or prior plan year form, a paper
copy of only the first page of the Form
5500 or Form 5500–C, as applicable,
should be submitted along with the
penalty payment. With respect to ‘‘top
hat’’ plans and apprenticeship plans,
the requirement is satisfied by sending
a completed first page of an annual
report form along with the penalty
payment.
