SUPPLEMENTARY 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 through reconsideration or appeal. Subpart A of
the regulation specifies which initial determinations are subject to
reconsideration. Subpart C prescribes rules on who may request
reconsideration, when to make such a request, where to submit it, form
and content of reconsideration requests, and other matters relating to
reconsiderations.
Any person aggrieved by an initial determination of PBGC under
Sec. 4003.1(b)(1) (determinations that a plan is covered by section
4021 of ERISA), Sec. 4003.1(b)(2) (determinations concerning premiums,
interest, and late payment penalties under section 4007 of ERISA),
Sec. 4003.1(b)(3) (determinations concerning voluntary terminations),
or Sec. 4003.1(b)(4) (determinations concerning allocation of assets
under section 4044 of ERISA) may request reconsideration of the initial
determination. Requests for reconsideration must be in writing, be
clearly designated as requests for reconsideration, contain a statement
of the grounds for reconsideration and the relief sought, and contain
or reference all pertinent information.
OMB has approved the administrative appeals collection of
information under control number 1212-0063 through September 30, 2010.
PBGC is requesting that OMB extend its approval of this collection of
information for three 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 an average of 796 filers per year will respond
to this collection of information. PBGC further estimates that the
annual burden of this collection of information per filer is 0.29 hours
and $646, with a total annual burden of 234.5 hours and $514,150.
Issued in Washington, DC, this 30th day of June 2010.
John H. Hanley,
Director, Legislative and Regulatory Department, Pension Benefit
Guaranty Corporation.
