SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Annual reporting to the Internal Revenue
Service (IRS), the Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA),
and the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) is required by law
for most employee benefit plans. For example, section 4065 of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) requires annual
reporting to PBGC for pension plans covered by title IV of ERISA. To
accommodate these filing requirements, IRS, EBSA, and PBGC have jointly
promulgated the Form 5500 Series, which includes the Form 5500 Annual
Return/Report of Employee Benefit Plan and the Form 5500-SF Short Form
Annual Return/Report of Small Employee Benefit Plan.
The collection of information has been approved by OMB under
control number 1212-0057 through March 31, 2026. PBGC intends to
request that OMB extend its approval, without modifications, 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 it will receive approximately 25,000 Form 5500
and Form 5500-SF filings per year under this collection of information
for the 2025 Form 5500 Series. PBGC further estimates that the total
annual burden of this collection of information for the Form 5500
Series, attributable to PBGC, will be 15,089,hours and that there will
be no cost burden.
PBGC is soliciting public comments to--
<bullet> evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility;
<bullet> evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of information, including the
validity of the methodologies and assumptions used;
[[Page 36456]]
<bullet> enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
<bullet> minimize the burden of the collection of information on
those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate
automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information technology (e.g. permitting
electronic submission of responses).
