Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 236 / Thursday, December 8, 2011 / Notices

implemented in PBGC’s regulation on
Reportable Events and Certain Other
Notification Requirements (29 CFR part
4043). Subparts B and C of the
regulation deal with reportable events,
and subpart D deals with failures to
make required contributions.
PBGC has issued Forms 10 and 10Advance and related instructions under
subparts B and C (approved under OMB
control number 1212–0013) and Form
200 and related instructions under
subpart D (approved under OMB control
number 1212–0041). OMB approval of
both of these collections of information
expires March 31, 2012. PBGC intends
to request that OMB extend its approval
for three years, with minor changes. 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 that it will receive
1,020 reportable event notices per year
under subparts B and C of the reportable
events regulation using Forms 10 and
10-Advance and that the average annual
burden of this collection of information
is 5,370 hours and $816,000. PBGC
estimates that it will receive 110 notices
of failure to make required contributions
per year under subpart D of the
reportable events regulation using Form
200 and that the average annual burden
of this collection of information is 660
hours and $101,000.
PBGC is soliciting public comments
to—
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collections of information are 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
proposed collections of information,
including the validity of the
methodologies and assumptions used;
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Minimize the burden of the
collections of information on those who
are to respond, including through 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.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Standard
Form 1153, Claim for Unpaid
Compensation of Deceased Civilian
Employee, is used to collect information
from individuals who have been
designated as beneficiaries of the
unpaid compensation of a deceased
Federal employee or who believe that
their relationship to the deceased
entitles them to receive the unpaid
compensation of the deceased Federal
employee. OPM needs this information
to adjudicate the claim and properly
assign a deceased Federal employee’s
unpaid compensation to the appropriate
individual(s). The proposed revision to
the expiring ICR responds to suggestions
received from users. Part B, 1. Is
changed to clarify that a beneficiary may
include a legal entity or estate as
provided for in 5 CFR 178.203© and to
provide instructions if more room is
needed to list designated beneficiaries.
