Trust REIT or one of its employer
affiliates, and to authorized employees
and representatives of the Department
and the Internal Revenue Service. EBSA
submitted an ICR for the information
collections in PTE 2004–07 to the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and clearance in connection
with proposal of the class exemption,
which was published in the Federal
Register on June 3, 2003 (68 FR 33185).
The ICR was approved by OMB under
OMB Control Number 1210–0124 and is
scheduled to expire on December 31,
2018.
Agency: Employee Benefits Security
Administration, Department of Labor.
Title: Abandoned Individual Account
Plan Termination.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection of
information.
OMB Number: 1210–0127.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profits.
Respondents: 26,700.
Responses: 1,308,000.
Estimated Total Burden Hours:
47,700.
Estimated Total Burden Cost
(Operating and Maintenance): $689,000.
Description: The abandoned plan
initiative includes the following actions,
which impose the following information
collections:
1. Qualified Termination
Administrator (QTA) Regulation: The
QTA regulation creates an orderly and
efficient process by which a financial
institution that holds the assets of a plan
that is deemed to have been abandoned
may undertake to terminate the plan
and distribute its assets to participants
and beneficiaries holding accounts
under the plan, with protections and
approval of the Department under the
standards of the regulation. The
regulation requires the QTA to provide
certain notices to the Department, to
participants and beneficiaries, and to
the plan sponsor (or service providers to
the plan, if necessary), and to keep
certain records pertaining to the
termination.
2. Abandoned Plan Terminal Report
Regulation: The terminal report
regulation provides an alternative,
simplified method for a QTA to satisfy
the annual report requirement otherwise
applicable to a terminating plan by
filing a special simplified terminal
report with the Department after
terminating an abandoned plan and
distributing the remaining assets in the
individual account plans to participants
and beneficiaries.
3. Terminated Plan Distribution
Regulation: The terminated plan

Jkt 244001

distribution regulation establishes a safe
harbor method by which fiduciaries
who are terminating individual account
pension plans (whether abandoned or
not) may select an investment vehicle to
receive account balances distributed
from the terminated plan when the
participant has failed to provide
investment instructions. The regulation
requires the fiduciaries to provide
advance notice to participants and
beneficiaries of how such distributions
will be invested, if no other investment
instructions are provided.
4. Abandoned Plan Class Exemption:
The exemption permits a QTA that
terminates an abandoned plan under the
QTA regulation to receive payment for
its services from the abandoned plan
and to distribute the account balance of
a participant who has failed to provide
investment direction into an individual
retirement account (IRA) maintained by
the QTA or an affiliate. Without the
exemption, financial institutions would
be unable to receive payment for
services rendered out of plan assets
without violating ERISA’s prohibited
transaction provisions and would
therefore be highly unlikely to
undertake the termination of abandoned
plans. The exemption includes the
condition that the QTA keep records of
the distributions for a period of six years
and make such records available on
request to interested persons (including
the Department and participants and
beneficiaries). If a QTA wishes to be
paid out of plan assets for services
provided prior to becoming a QTA, the
exemption requires that the QTA enter
into a written agreement with a plan
fiduciary or the plan sponsor prior to
receiving payment and that a copy of
the agreement be provided to the
Department.
5. PTE 2004–16 (Automatic Rollover
Exemption): Also included in this ICR
are the notice and recordkeeping
requirements contained in PTE 2004–
16, which permits a pension plan
fiduciary that is a financial institution
and is also the employer maintaining an
individual account pension plan for its
employees to establish, on behalf of its
separated employees, an IRA at a
financial institution that is either the
employer or an affiliate, which IRA
would receive mandatory distributions
that the fiduciary ‘‘rolls over’’ from the
plan when an employee terminates
employment.
Because all of these regulations and
exemptions relate to terminating or
abandoned plans and/or to distribution
and rollover of distributed benefits for
which no participant investment
election has been made, the Department
has combined the paperwork burden for

PO 00000

Frm 00090

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

15639

all of these actions into one ICR. In the
Department’s view, this combination
allows the public to have a better
understanding of the aggregate burden
imposed on the public for these related
regulatory actions. The ICR was
approved by OMB under OMB Control
Number 1210–0127 and is scheduled to
expire on December 31, 2018.
I. Focus of Comments
The Department is particularly
interested in comments that:
• Evaluate whether the 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 collections 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 through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., by permitting electronic
submissions of responses.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized and/or
included in the ICRs for OMB approval
of the extension of the information
collection; they will also become a
matter of public record.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork
and respondent (i.e., employer) burden,
conducts a preclearance consultation
program to provide the public with an
opportunity to comment on proposed
and continuing information collection
requirements in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)).
This program ensures that
information is in the desired format,
reporting burden (time and costs) is
minimal, collection instruments are
clearly understood, and OSHA’s
estimate of the information collection
burden is accurate. The Occupational
Safety and Health Act of 1970 (the OSH
Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et seq.) authorizes
information collection by employers as
necessary or appropriate for
enforcement of the OSH Act or for
developing information regarding the
causes and prevention of occupational
injuries, illnesses, and accidents (29
U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act also requires
that OSHA obtain such information
with minimum burden upon employers,
especially those operating small
businesses, and to reduce to the
maximum extent feasible unnecessary
duplication of efforts in obtaining
information (29 U.S.C. 657).
Manila rope and manila-rope slings
(paragraph 1915.112(a)(1))—The
employer must ensure that manila rope
and manila-rope slings have
permanently affixed and legible
identification markings as prescribed by
the manufacturer that indicate the
recommended safe working load for the
type(s) of hitch(es) used, the angle upon
which it is based, and the number of
legs if more than one.
Wire rope and wire-rope slings
(paragraph 1915.112(b)(1)(i))—The
employer must ensure that wire rope
and wire-rope slings have permanently
affixed and legible identification
markings as prescribed by the
manufacturer that indicate the
recommended safe working load for the
type(s) of hitch(es) used, the angle upon
which it is based, and the number of
legs if more than one.
Chain and chain slings (paragraph
1915.112(c)(1)(i))—The employer must

Frm 00091

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

ensure that chain and chain slings have
permanently affixed and legible
identification markings as prescribed by
the manufacturer that indicate the
recommended safe working load for the
type(s) of hitch(es) used, the angle upon
which it is based, and the number of
legs if more than one.
Chain and chain slings (paragraph
1915.112(c)(2))—The employer shall
visually inspect all chain slings,
including end fastenings, before being
used on the job, as well as every three
months. The employer shall inspect for
wear, defective welds, deformation and
an increase in length or stretch. Each
chain shall bear an indication of the
month in which it was thoroughly
inspected.
Shackles (paragraph
1915.113(a)(1))—The employer must
ensure that shackles have permanently
affixed and legible identification
markings as prescribed by the
manufacturer that indicate the
recommended safe working load.
Test records for hooks (paragraph
1915.113(b)(1))—This paragraph
requires that the manufacturer’s
recommendations be followed in
determining the safe working loads of
the various sizes and types of hooks. If
the manufacturer’s recommendations
are not available, the hook must be
tested to twice the intended safe
working load before it is initially put
into use. The employer must maintain
and keep readily available a certification
record which includes the date of such
test, the signature of the person who
performed the test, and an identifier for
the hook which was tested.
The records are used to ensure that
equipment has been properly tested.
The records also provide the most
efficient means for the compliance
officers to determine that an employer is
complying with the Standard.
Chain falls and pull-lifts (paragraph
1915.114(a))—The employer must
ensure that all chain falls and pull-lifts
are clearly marked to show the capacity
and the capacity must not be exceeded.
Mobile crawler or truck cranes used
on a vessel (paragraph 1915.115(c))—
This paragraph requires that the
maximum manufacturer’s rated safe
working loads for the various working
radii of the boom and the maximum and
minimum radii at which the boom may
be safely used with and without
outriggers, shall be conspicuously
posted near the controls and shall be
visible to the operator.
General precautions (paragraph
1915.131(g))—The employer must
ensure that all headers, manifolds and
widely spaced hose connections on
compressed air lines bear the word ‘‘air’’

E:\FR\FM\11APN1.SGM

11APN1

Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 70 / Wednesday, April 11, 2018 / Notices
in letters at least 1-inch high, which
must be painted either on the manifolds
or separate hose connections, or on
signs permanently attached to the
manifolds or connections. Grouped air
connections may be marked in one
location.
Examination and test records for
unfired pressure vessels (paragraphs
1915.172(b) and (d))—Paragraph (b)
requires that portable, unfired pressure
vessels not built to the requirements of
the American Society of Mechanical
Engineers Boiler and Pressure Vessel
Code, Section VIII, Rules for
Construction of Unfired Pressure
Vessels, 1963 be examined quarterly by
a competent person, and subjected to a
yearly hydrostatic pressure test as
defined by paragraph (b). A certification
record of such examinations and tests
shall be maintained as specified in
paragraph (d).

II. Special Issues for Comment
OSHA has a particular interest in
comments on the following issues:
• Whether the proposed information
collection requirements are necessary
for the proper performance of the
Agency’s functions, including whether
the information is useful;
• The accuracy of OSHA’s estimate of
the burden (time and costs) of the
information collection requirements,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• The quality, utility, and clarity of
the information collected; and
• Ways to minimize the burden on
employers who must comply; for
example, by using automated or other
technological information collection
and transmission techniques.
III. Proposed Actions
OSHA is requesting an adjustment
increase in the existing burden hour
estimate for the collection of
information requirements specified by
the Standards from 9,773 hours to
11,813 hours, a total increase of 2,040
hours. This increase is due to an
increase in the number of
establishments using this equipment. In
this ICR, the scope of the maritime
standards in 29 CFR part 1915 for slings,
shackles, and hooks are based on the
Final Economic Analysis for the Final
Rule revising 29 CFR part 1915, subpart
F prepared by OSHA’s Office of
Regulatory Analysis. As a result of the
Final Rule, the revision of the standard
applies to all shipyard employment
which is defined in § 1915.4(i) as ship
repairing, shipbuilding, shipbreaking,
and related employment. Also, upon
further analysis, the Agency identified
two new collections of information
