Download as PDF ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 243 / Wednesday, December 20, 2023 / Notices Under § 4262.10(g), a plan sponsor may, but is not required to, file a lockin application as a plan’s initial application. The lock-in application contains basic information about the plan and a statement of intent to lockin base data. PBGC needs the information in the lock-in application to ensure that a plan sponsor intends to lock-in the plan’s data. PBGC estimates that over the next 3 years an annual average of 6 plan sponsors will file lockin applications for SFA with an average annual hour burden of 6 (6 × 1) hours and an average annual cost burden of $4,800 (6 × $800). Under § 4262.16(i), a plan sponsor of a plan that has received SFA must file an Annual Statement of Compliance with the restrictions and conditions under section 4262 of ERISA and part 4262 once every year through 2051. PBGC needs the information in the Annual Statement of Compliance to ensure that a plan is compliant with the imposed restrictions and conditions. PBGC estimates that over the next 3 years an annual average of 150 plan sponsors will file Annual Statements of Compliance with an average annual hour burden of 300 (150 × 2) hours and an average annual cost burden of $360,000 (150 × $2,400). Under § 4262.15(c), a plan sponsor of a plan with benefits that were suspended under sections 305(e)(9) or 4245(a) of ERISA must issue notices of reinstatement to participants and beneficiaries whose benefits were suspended and are being reinstated. Participants and beneficiaries need the notice of reinstatement to better understand the calculation and timing of their reinstated benefits and, if applicable, make-up payments. PBGC estimates that over the next 3 years an average of 2 plans per year will be required to send notices to participants with suspended benefits. PBGC estimates that these notices will impose an average annual hour burden of 4 (2 × 2) hours and average annual cost burden of $4,000 (2 × $2,000). Finally, under § 4262.16(d), (f), (g) and (h) a plan sponsor must file a request for a determination from PBGC for approval for an exception under certain circumstances for SFA conditions under § 4262.16 relating to reductions in contributions, transfers or mergers, and withdrawal liability. PBGC needs the information required for a request for determination to determine whether to approve an exception from the specified condition of receiving SFA. PBGC estimates that over the next 3 years, PBGC will receive an average of 4.2 requests per year for determinations. PBGC estimates an average annual hour VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:02 Dec 19, 2023 Jkt 262001 burden of 13.6 hours and average annual cost burden of $33,000. The estimated aggregate average annual hour burden for the next 3 years for the information collection in part 4262 is 863.6 (540 + 6 + 300 + 4 + 13.6) hours for employer and fund office administrative, clerical, and supervisory time. The estimated aggregate average annual cost burden for the next 3 years for the information collection request in part 4262 is $1,931,800 ($1,530,000 + $4,800 + $360,000 + $4,000 + $33,000) for approximately 4,830 contract hours assuming an average hourly rate of $400 for work done by outside actuaries and attorneys. The actual hour burden and cost burden per plan will vary depending on plan size and other factors. The collection of information under the regulation has been approved by OMB under control number 1212–0074 (expires May 31, 2024). PBGC intends to request that OMB extend its approval of the collection of information without change for 3 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 is soliciting public comments to— • Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility; • Evaluate the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodologies and assumptions used; • Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and • Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g. permitting electronic submission of responses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act 
of 1995, as amended (44 U.S.C. chapter 35), OPM is soliciting comments

    In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this notice 
announces that OPM intends to submit to the Office of Management and 
Budget a request for review of a previously approved emergency
