SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This information collection contains a
third-party disclosure. The consent serves to demonstrate to the plan
administrator that an individual has the ability to access information
in the electronic form that will be used for disclosure purposes. Such
confirmation will ensure the compatibility of the hardware and software
between the individual and the plan and will also serve to demonstrate
that the administrator has taken appropriate and necessary measures
reasonably calculated to ensure that the system for furnishing
documents results in actual receipt, as required under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act. For additional substantive information
about this ICR, see the related notice published in the Federal
Register on February 8, 2023 (88 FR 8317).
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.
