Amato Burns, Attorney, or Catherine B.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under
section 4041 of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974,
as amended, a single-employer pension
plan may terminate voluntarily only if
it satisfies the requirements for either a
standard or a distress termination.
Pursuant to ERISA section 4041(b), for
standard terminations, and section
4041(c), for distress terminations, and
PBGC’s termination regulation (29 CFR
part 4041), a plan administrator wishing
to terminate a plan is required to submit
specified information to PBGC in
support of the proposed termination and
to provide specified information
regarding the proposed termination to
third parties (participants, beneficiaries,
alternate payees, and employee
organizations). In the case of a plan with
participants or beneficiaries who cannot
be located when their benefits are to be
distributed, the plan administrator is
subject to the requirements of ERISA
section 4050 and PBGC’s regulation on
missing participants (29 CFR part 4050).
When PBGC conducts posttermination audits, it sometimes finds
that some notices to participants or
beneficiaries are not provided, or that
the notices are inadequate. To address
this problem, PBGC is now proposing to
request that copies of Notice of Intent to
Terminate and sample Notices of Plan
Benefits be attached to the Form 500
that is submitted to PBGC. This should
impose no additional burden on plan
administrators since they would simply
be sending PBGC copies of notices that
they must provide to participants. In
addition, PBGC is making clarifying,
simplifying, editorial, and other changes
to the existing forms and instructions.
PBGC estimates that 1,430 plan
administrators will be subject to the
collection of information requirements
in PBGC’s regulations on termination
and missing participants and
implementing forms and instructions
each year, and that the total annual
burden of complying with these
requirements is 1,357 hours and
$3,000,895. (Much of the work
associated with terminating a plan is

performed for purposes other than
meeting these requirements.)
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.
