SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation
(PBGC) intends to request that the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) extend approval, under the Paperwork Reduction Act, of a
collection of information contained in its regulation on Rules for
Administrative Review of Agency Decisions (29 CFR part 4003) (OMB
control number 1212-0061; expires July 31, 2025). This notice informs
the public of PBGC's intent and solicits public comment on the
collection of information.
PBGC's regulation on Rules for Administrative Review of Agency
Decisions (29 CFR part 4003) prescribes rules governing the issuance of
initial determinations by PBGC and the procedures for requesting and
obtaining administrative review of initial determinations. Certain
types of initial determinations are subject to administrative appeals,
which are covered in subpart D of the regulation. Subpart D prescribes
rules on who may file appeals, when and where to file appeals, contents
of appeals, and other matters relating to appeals. Most appeals filed
with PBGC are filed by
[[Page 25090]]
individuals (participants, beneficiaries, and alternate payees) in
connection with benefit entitlement or amounts. A small number of
appeals are filed by companies in connection with other matters, such
as plan coverage under section 4021 of ERISA or liability under
sections 4062(b)(1), 4063, or 4064. For appeals of benefit
determinations, PBGC has optional forms for filing appeals (Form 724)
and requests for extensions of time to appeal (Form 723). PBGC needs
the required information to resolve matters raised in appeals of PBGC's
initial determinations.
PBGC is proposing some minor editorial and formatting changes to
Forms 723 and 724. In addition, in the Privacy Act Notice section of
both forms, it is fixing an erroneous citation and replacing ``Social
Security Number'' with ``Customer Identification Number.''
The existing collection of information under the regulation has
been approved through July 31, 2025, under OMB control number 1212-
0061. On April 8, 2025, PBGC published in the Federal Register (at 90
FR 15163) a notice informing the public of its intent to request an
extension of this collection of information. No comments were received.
PBGC is requesting that OMB extend approval of the 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 each year there will be 103 appeals and 29
requests for extensions filed annually under this regulation. The total
estimated annual burden of the collection of information is 105 hours
and $9,000.
Issued in Washington, DC, by
Hilary Duke,
Assistant General Counsel for Regulatory Affairs, Pension Benefit
Guaranty Corporation.
