This information
collection is given a limited term approval in light of the planned
implementation of the EFAST system. The EFAST system should make
the 5500 report more rapidly available. PBGC should consider
changing the requirement in its regulation regarding resubmission
of the 5500 forms for this specific purpose since the information
should aleady be available. Future submission for approval of this
information collection should reflect consideration of making this
change.
