Type of Information Collection: New collection (Request for a new OMB Control Number)	Common Form ICR:  No
Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved without change	Conclusion Date: 07/13/1998
	Date Received in OIRA: 05/18/1998
Terms of Clearance: Approved as amended by DOL's revisions of 6/10/98, 6/23/98, and 7/13/98. In addition, DOL agrees to the following terms: 1) Because DOL has removed the reallocation language from this guidance in favor of addressing the issue in a future TEGL, DOL will submit the TEGL to OMB in draft form prior to officially releasing the TEGL; 2) DOL agrees to continue its work towards increasing the electronic response rate for this collection. This involves expanding electronic options beyond fax to email and internet based transmission. As DOL develops these electronic transmission alternatives, DOL will minimize burden by allowing respondents to submit the plan electronically (i.e. by either email or internet-based transmission) and follow-up with hard-copy of the appropriate signature pages only. DOL's will continue to work towards the ultimate goal of a paperless process - electronic submission with the use of electronic signatures.
