SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 4043 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) requires plan administrators and plan sponsors to report certain plan and employer events to PBGC. The reporting requirements give PBGC notice of events that indicate plan or employer financial problems. PBGC uses the information provided to determine what, if any, action it needs to take. For example, PBGC might need to institute proceedings to terminate a plan (placing it in a trusteeship) under section 4042 of ERISA to ensure the continued payment of benefits to plan participants and their beneficiaries or to prevent unreasonable increases in PBGC’s losses. The provisions of section 4043 of ERISA have been implemented in PBGC’s regulation on Reportable Events and Certain Other Notification Requirements (29 CFR part 4043). Form 10 Subparts B and C of the regulation deal with reportable events. PBGC has issued Forms 10 and 10-Advance and PO 00000 Frm 00059 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 6557 related instructions under subparts B and C (approved under OMB control number 1212–0013). The existing collection of information was approved through July 31, 2024, under OMB control number 1212–0013. PBGC intends to request that OMB extend its approval of this collection 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 estimates that it will receive 438 reportable event notices per year under subparts B and C of the reportable events regulation using Forms 10 and 10-Advance and that the average annual burden of this collection of information is 1,377 hours and $326,310. Form 200 Section 303(k) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) and section 430(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (Code) impose a lien in favor of an underfunded single-employer plan that is covered by PBGC’s termination insurance program is (1) any person fails to make a required payment when due, and (2) the unpaid balance of that payment (including interest), when added to the aggregated unpaid balance of all proceedings for which payment was not made when due (including interest), exceeds $1 million. (For this purpose, a plan is underfunded if its funding target attainment percentage is less than 100 percent.) The lien is upon all property and rights to property belonging to the person or persons that are liable for required contributions (i.e., a contributing sponsor and each member of the controlled group of which that contributing sponsor is a member). Only PBGC (or, at its direction, the plan’s contributing sponsor or a member of the same controlled group) may perfect and enforce this lien. ERISA and the Code require persons that fail to make payments to notify PBGC within 10 days of the due date whenever there is a failure to make a required payment and the total of the unpaid balances (including interest) exceeds $1 million. PBGC Form 200, Notice of Failure to Make Required Contributions, and related instructions implement the statutory notification requirement. Submission of Form 200 is required by 29 CFR 4043.81 (Subpart D of PBGC’s regulation on Reportable Events and Other Notification Requirements, 29 CFR part 4043). OMB has approved this collection of information under OMB control number 1212–0041, which expires July 31, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 4043 of the Employee Retirement 
Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) requires plan administrators and 
plan sponsors to report certain plan and employer events to PBGC. The 
reporting requirements give PBGC notice of events that indicate plan or 
employer financial problems. PBGC uses the information provided to 
determine what, if any, action it needs to take. For example, PBGC 
might need to institute proceedings to terminate a plan (placing it in 
a trusteeship) under section 4042 of ERISA to ensure the continued 
payment of benefits to plan participants and their beneficiaries or to 
prevent unreasonable increases in PBGC's losses.
    The provisions of section 4043 of ERISA have been implemented in 
PBGC's regulation on Reportable Events and Certain Other Notification 
Requirements (29 CFR part 4043).

Form 10

    Subparts B and C of the regulation deal with reportable events. 
PBGC has issued Forms 10 and 10-Advance and related instructions under 
subparts B and C (approved under OMB control number 1212-0013). The 
existing collection of information was approved through July 31, 2024, 
under OMB control number 1212-0013. PBGC intends to request that OMB 
extend its approval of this collection 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 estimates that it will receive 438 reportable event notices 
per year under subparts B and C of the reportable events regulation 
using Forms 10 and 10-Advance and that the average annual burden of 
this collection of information is 1,377 hours and $326,310.

Form 200

    Section 303(k) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 
1974 (ERISA) and section 430(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 
(Code) impose a lien in favor of an underfunded single-employer plan 
that is covered by PBGC's termination insurance program is (1) any 
person fails to make a required payment when due, and (2) the unpaid 
balance of that payment (including interest), when added to the 
aggregated unpaid balance of all proceedings for which payment was not 
made when due (including interest), exceeds $1 million. (For this 
purpose, a plan is underfunded if its funding target attainment 
percentage is less than 100 percent.) The lien is upon all property and 
rights to property belonging to the person or persons that are liable 
for required contributions (i.e., a contributing sponsor and each 
member of the controlled group of which that contributing sponsor is a 
member).
    Only PBGC (or, at its direction, the plan's contributing sponsor or 
a member of the same controlled group) may perfect and enforce this 
lien. ERISA and the Code require persons that fail to make payments to 
notify PBGC within 10 days of the due date whenever there is a failure 
to make a required payment and the total of the unpaid balances 
(including interest) exceeds $1 million.
    PBGC Form 200, Notice of Failure to Make Required Contributions, 
and related instructions implement the statutory notification 
requirement. Submission of Form 200 is required by 29 CFR 4043.81 
(Subpart D of PBGC's regulation on Reportable Events and Other 
Notification Requirements, 29 CFR part 4043). OMB has approved this 
collection of information under OMB control number 1212-0041, which 
expires July 31, 2024. PBGC intends to

request that OMB extend its approval of this collection 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 estimates that it will receive 60 Form 200 filings per year 
and that the average annual burden of this collection of information is 
60 hours and $43,500.
    PBGC is soliciting public comments to--
     Evaluate whether the proposed collections of information 
are 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 collections 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 collections 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.
