SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974 (ERISA) section 104
requires administrators of employee
benefits plans (pension and welfare
plans) and employers sponsoring certain
fringe benefit plans and other plans of
deferred compensation to file returns/
reports annually with the Secretary of
Labor concerning the financial
condition and operation of plans.
Reporting requirements are satisfied by
filing the Form 5500 in accordance with
its instructions and the related
regulations. Form 5500 filings are
processed under the ERISA Filing
Acceptance System 2 (EFAST–2), which
is designed to simplify and expedite the
receipt and processing of the Form 5500
by relying on internet-based forms and
electronic filing technologies.
In order to file electronically,
employee benefit plan Filing authors,
Schedule authors, Filing signers, Form
5500 transmitters, and entities
developing software to complete and/or
transmit the Form 5500 are required to
register for EFAST–2 credentials

information requested for registration
includes: Applicant type (Filing Author,
Filing Signer, Schedule Author,
Transmitter, or software developer);
mailing address; fax number (optional);
email address; company name, contact
person; and daytime telephone number.
Registrants must also provide an answer
to a challenge question (‘‘What is your
date of birth?’’ or ‘‘Where is your place
of birth?’’), which enables users to
retrieve forgotten credentials. In
addition, registrants must accept a
Privacy Agreement; PIN Agreement;
and, under penalty of perjury, a
Signature Agreement. For additional
substantive information about this ICR,
see the related notice published in the
Federal Register on February 5, 2024

the collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of
