Section
110 of ERISA (29 U.S.C. 1030)
authorizes the Secretary of Labor to
prescribe alternative methods of
compliance with the reporting and
disclosure requirements of Title I of the
Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974 (ERISA) for pension plans.
Simplified Employee Pensions (SEPs)
are established by section 408(k) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the
Code). Although SEPs are primarily a
development of the Code subject to its
requirements, SEPs are also pension
plans subject to the reporting and
disclosure requirements of Title I of
ERISA. The disclosure requirements set
forth in the regulation ensure that
administrators of non-model SEPs
provide participants with specific
written information concerning SEPs.
This ICR generally requires timely
written disclosure to employees eligible
to participate in non-model SEPs,
including specific information
concerning: Participation requirements;
allocation formulas for employer
contributions; designated contact
persons for further information; and, for
employer recommended IRAs, specific
terms of the IRAs such as rates of return
and any restrictions on withdrawals. For
additional substantive information
about this ICR, see the related notice
published in the Federal Register on
October 20, 2020 (85 FR 66580).
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless the OMB
approves it and displays a currently
valid OMB Control Number. In addition,
notwithstanding any other provisions of
law, no person shall generally be subject
to penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information that does not

model’s compliance with certain
standards (e.g., applies generally
accepted investment theories, unbiased
operation, objective criteria) set forth in
