SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Prior to the enactment of the Taxpayer 
Relief Act of 1997 (Pub. L. 105-34, August 5, 1997) (TRA '97), section 
104(a) of the Employee Retirement Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) required 
administrators of employee benefit plans automatically to file the 
plan's summary plan description (SPD) and any summaries of material 
modification (SMMs) with the Secretary of the Department of Labor (the 
Department). TRA '97 eliminated the requirement that these documents be 
filed automatically with the Department, but added ERISA section 
104(a)(6), requiring a plan administrator to furnish documents related 
to an employee benefit plan to the Department upon request. The 
requirement that administrators furnish the Department requested plan 
documents other than SPDs and SMMs was part of section 104(a) prior to 
enactment of TRA '97; that requirement was moved by TRA '97 to section 
104(a)(6) and consolidated with the new furnishing requirement 
pertaining to SPDs and SMMs.
    Pursuant to the regulation, the Department requests documents under 
section 104(a)(6) when a participant or beneficiary has previously 
requested the documents directly from the plan administrator and the 
administrator has failed or refused to provide them. The Department 
therefore uses the requested information to respond to participants' 
requests to the Department for documents that the participants were 
unable to obtain from their plan administrators. 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

collection requirements submitted to the OMB for existing ICRs receive 
a month-to-month extension while they undergo review.
