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 defined benefit
plans that have 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 an effort to
identify 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 is proposing to add a new form
to the information collection: Form
XXX, Benefit Inquiry Questionnaire.
PBGC will send this form to individuals
who contact PBGC to inquire whether

PO 00000

Frm 00070

Sfmt 4703

PBGC is holding any benefits to which
they are entitled. The questionnaire will
request information that PBGC needs to
determine whether the individual is
owed benefits and, if so, the benefit
amount.
In addition, PBGC is making
clarifying, simplifying, editorial, and
other changes to other forms in the
information collection.
The existing collection of information
under the regulation was approved
under OMB control number 1212–0055
(expires December 31, 2015). PBGC
intends to request that OMB extend its
approval (with modifications) for three
years. 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 will be 73,000 hours and
$1,900.
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.

III. Ordering Paragraphs

I. Introduction
In accordance with 39 U.S.C. 3642
and 39 CFR 3020.30 et seq., the Postal
Service filed a formal request and
associated supporting information to
remove Global Direct Contracts from the
competitive product list.1
To support its Request, the Postal
Service filed four attachments as
follows:
• Attachment A—a redacted copy of
the Governors’ Decision No. 11–6
authorizing the removal of the product
from the competitive product list,
including a redacted management
analysis;
• Attachment B—an application for
nonpublic treatment of Governors’
Decision No. 11–6;
• Attachment C—a Statement of
Supporting Justification as required by
39 CFR 3020.32; and
• Attachment D—proposed changes
to the Mail Classification Schedule
(MCS) competitive product list.
The Postal Service seeks to remove
Global Direct Contracts from the
competitive product list due to the
absence of customer demand for this
service. Request at 1. The Postal Service
asserts that removal of Global Direct
Contracts is an attempt to align its
service offerings with current customer
needs and preferences. Id. at 2.
In addition, in the Statement of
Supporting Justification, Giselle E.
Valera, Vice President and Managing
Director of Global Business, asserts that
because the Postal Service is requesting
product removal, the product’s ability to
cover its own costs has no impact on the
instant Request. Id. Attachment C at 2.
Ms. Valera maintains that removal of the
product from the competitive product
list attempts to ensure that there will be
no issue of market dominant products
subsidizing competitive products. Id.
1 Request of the United States Postal Service to
Remove Global Direct Contracts from the
Competitive Product List, October 16, 2015
(Request).
