SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PBGC
intends to request that OMB approve
modifications to a collection of
information needed to pay participants
and beneficiaries who may be entitled to
pension benefits under a defined benefit
plan that has terminated. The collection
consists of information participants and
beneficiaries are asked to provide in
connection with an application for
benefits. In addition, in some instances,
as part of a search for participants and
beneficiaries who may be entitled to
benefits, PBGC requests individuals to
provide identifying information that the
individual would provide as part of an
initial contact with PBGC. All requested
information is needed to enable PBGC to
determine benefit entitlements and to
make appropriate payments. The
information collection includes My
Pension Benefit Account (My PBA), an
application on PBGC’s Web site,
http://www.pbgc.gov, through which
plan participants and beneficiaries may
conduct electronic transactions with
PBGC, including applying for pension
benefits, designating a beneficiary,
granting a power of attorney, electing
monthly payments, electing to withhold
income tax from periodic payments,
changing contact information, and
applying for electronic direct deposit.
PBGC intends to add three new forms
to the information collection. Two of the
new forms will be used to ascertain the
continuing eligibility of participants

who are receiving benefits based on
disability. The other new form will be
used to determine whether participants
are eligible for additional pension
service credit under the Uniformed
Services Employment and
Reemployment Rights Act, which
establishes specific rights for
reemployed service members in their
employee pension benefit plans. (See
PBGC’s final regulation on USERRA
Benefits under Title IV of ERISA, 74 FR
59093 (Nov. 17, 2009).)
PBGC also intends to modify PBGC
Form 704 (Request for Earnings
Information) to eliminate the need for
respondents to provide copies of IRS
Form W–2 (Wage and Tax Statement) to
confirm their earnings. PBGC expects
that the number of respondents that will
use the new or modified forms, and the
burden associated with those forms, will
be very small. Accordingly, PBGC is not
changing its burden estimates for this
information collection as a result of the
modifications.
The existing collection of information
under the regulation was approved
under OMB control number 1212–0055
(expires August 31, 2011). PBGC intends
to request that OMB approve the
modifications through the current
expiration date. An agency may not
conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, a collection of
information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
PBGC estimates the total annual
burden associated with this collection of
information is 73,300 hours and $3,100.
The burden estimate includes 67,050
hours for participants in plans covered
by the PBGC insurance program. The
remaining hourly burden is attributable
to participants that will be covered by
the expanded Missing Participants
program under Pension Protection Act
of 2006 amendments to ERISA, once
final regulations are issued to
implement the program. The cost
burden for both groups of participants is
estimated to be $3,100.
PBGC is soliciting public comments
to—
• Evaluate whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who

are to respond, including the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses.

information collection. This information
collection, ‘‘We Need Important
Information About Your Eligibility for
Social Security Disability Benefits’’
(OMB Control No. 3206–0216; Form RI
98–7), is used by OPM to verify receipt
of Social Security Administration (SSA)
disability benefits, to lessen or avoid
overpayment to Federal Employees

responsibility to notify OPM if SSA
benefits begin and the overpayment that
will occur with the receipt of both
benefits.

necessary for the proper performance of
functions of the Office of Personnel
Management, and whether it will have
practical utility; whether our estimate of
the public burden of this collection of
information is accurate, and based on
valid assumptions and methodology;
and ways in which we can minimize the
burden of the collection of information

the use of appropriate technological
collection or other forms of information
technology.
Approximately 4,300 RI 98–7 forms
will be completed annually. The form

3206–0XXX). Due to recent court orders,
the Office of Personnel Management
(OPM) must compute, or recomputed as
applicable, the disability annuities for
individuals who performed service as
law enforcement officers, firefighters,
nuclear materials carriers, Customs and
Border Patrol officers, members of the
Capitol and the Supreme Court police,
Congressional employees, members of
Congress, and air traffic controllers.
Because these court orders were handed
down long after some of the affected
individuals retired and/or died and they
are not identified in the OPM computer
systems, it is necessary for these
individuals to self-identify. Form RI 20–
123 is needed on the OPM website so
these individuals and their survivors
can make the request.
Comments are particularly invited on:
Whether this collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of functions of the Office of Personnel
Management, and whether it will have
practical utility; whether our estimate of
the public burden of this collection is
accurate, and based on valid
assumptions and methodology; and
ways in which we can minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on those who are to respond, through
use of the appropriate technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
We estimate that we will receive 720
responses a year and the time it takes to
respond is estimated to be 5 minutes.
The annual burden is estimated to be 60
hours.
