and disclosure requirements by
prescribing an alternative method of
compliance. These SEPs are, for
purposes of this information collection,
referred to as ‘‘non-model SEPs’’
because they exclude those SEPs which
are created through use of Internal
Revenue Service (IRS) Form 5305–SEP,
and those SEPs in which the employer
influences the employees as to their
choice of IRAs to which employer
contributions will be made, and that
also prohibit withdrawals by
participants.
This information collection
requirement generally requires timely
written disclosure to employees eligible
to participate in non-model SEPs,
including specific information
concerning: participation requirements;
allocation formulas for employer
contributions; designated contact
persons for further information; and, for
employer recommended IRAs, specific
terms of the IRAs such as rates of return
and any restrictions on withdrawals.
Moreover, general information is
required that provides a clear
explanation of: the operation of the nonmodel SEP; participation requirements
and any withdrawal restrictions; and the
tax treatment of the SEP-related IRA.
Furthermore, statements must be
provided that inform participants of:
any other IRAs under the non-model
SEP other than that to which employer
contributions are made; any options
regarding rollovers and contributions to
other IRAs; descriptions of IRS
disclosure requirements to participants
and information regarding social
security integration (if applicable); and
timely notification of any amendments
to the terms of the non-model SEP. For
additional substantive information
about this ICR, see the related notice
published in the Federal Register on
August 25, 2023 (88 FR 58312).
Comments are invited on: (1) whether
the collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the Department,
including whether the information will
have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of
the agency’s estimates of the burden and
cost of the collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3)
ways to enhance the quality, utility and
clarity of the information collection; and
(4) ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
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
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 OMB Control Number.
See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
DOL seeks PRA authorization for this
information collection for three (3)
years. OMB authorization for an ICR
cannot be for more than three (3) years
without renewal. The DOL notes that
information collection requirements
submitted to the OMB for existing ICRs
receive a month-to-month extension
while they undergo review.
