We have approved this collection of information for one year with the following changes. First, the PBGC shall require an enrolled actuary's certification on just the Schedule A, not on both the Schedule A and the Form 1 as originally submitted. Secondly, because the public comment said that the paperwork burden was significantly underestimated, the PBGC shall revise the burden hours associated with this collection of information (see burden hours assigned), and adjust the disclosure statement accordingly. Finally, the PBGC amend the current Payment of Premiums regulation as necessary to respond to the public comments submitted on the Schedule A form. The PBGC shall especially consider allowing small plans, whose variable rate premium will equal its maximum value (generally $34), to be exempt from the paperwork burden contained in lines 1-7 of Schedule A.
