We have approved this collection of information through 11/30/91, which is the same expiration date given to the IRS and PBGC portions of this form. The Department of Labor has agreed to meet with IRS and PBGC in September 1990 to discuss the coordination of paperwork submissions, and to reconcile the differences in the IRS method of calculating burden hours, and the DOL's method of calculating burden hours. In addition, DOL has agreed to provide both calculations for the record, and the reasons for preferring one method over the other.
