The "Employee Benefit Plan Annual Report, FORM 5500 Series" is approve for use through September 1994, which is the same approval date given to the IRS portion of the 5500 (1545-0710). No changes are approved for these forms beyond what has been approved by OMB for 1545-0170 on December 24, 1992, and the subsequent revision made with OMB approval November 30, 1993. PBGC and DOL should continue to coordinate review of the 5500 series with IRS -- so that all packages are submitted to OMB simultaneously. OMB will encourage IRS to meet with appropriate DOL and PBGC officials to improve this coordination of OMB submissions
