ADDRESSES: A copy of this ICR with applicable supporting documentation; 
including a description of the likely respondents, proposed frequency 
of response, and estimated total burden may be obtained free of charge 
from the RegInfo.gov Web site at http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAViewICR?ref_nbr=201505-1210-001 (this link will only become active

    Authority:  44 U.S.C. 3507(a)(1)(D).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks to extend PRA authority for 
the Registration for EFAST-2 Credentials information collection. The 
Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) Filing Acceptance 
System 2 (EFAST-2) is an all-electronic system designed by the DOL, 
Internal Revenue Service, and Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation to 
simplify and expedite the submission, receipt, and processing of Forms 
5500 and 5500-SF. These forms must be electronically filed each year by 
employee benefit plans to satisfy ERISA and Internal Revenue Code 
annual reporting requirements. In order to file electronically, an 
employee benefit plan filing author, Schedule author, filing signer, 
Form 5500/5500-SF transmitter, or entity developing software to 
complete and/or to transmit Form 5500/

[[Page 31923]]

5500-SF is required to register for EFAST-2 credentials through the 
EFAST-2 Web site. ERISA section 104 authorizes this information 
collection. See 29 U.S.C. 1024.
    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 it is approved by the OMB under the PRA 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 display a valid Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 
1320.6. The DOL obtains OMB approval for this information collection 
under Control Number 1210-0117.
    OMB authorization for an ICR cannot be for more than three (3) 
years without renewal, and the current approval for this collection is 
scheduled to expire on June 30, 2015. The DOL seeks to extend PRA 
authorization for this information collection for three (3) more years, 
without any change to existing requirements. The DOL notes that 
existing information collection requirements submitted to the OMB 
receive a month-to-month extension while they undergo review. For 
additional substantive information about this ICR, see the related 
notice published in the Federal Register on October 15, 2014 (79 FR 
61903).
    Interested parties are encouraged to send comments to the OMB, 
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs at the address shown in 
the ADDRESSES section within thirty (30) days of publication of this 
notice in the Federal Register. In order to help ensure appropriate 
consideration, comments should mention OMB Control Number 1210-0117. 
The OMB is particularly interested in comments that:
     Evaluate whether the proposed 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 proposed 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 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.
    Agency: DOL-EBSA.
    Title of Collection: Registration for EFAST-2 Credentials.
    OMB Control Number: 1210-0117.
    Affected Public: Private Sector--businesses or other for-profits 
and not-for-profit institutions.
    Total Estimated Number of Respondents: 83,000.
    Total Estimated Number of Responses: 83,000.
    Total Estimated Annual Time Burden: 27,667 hours.
    Total Estimated Annual Other Costs Burden: $0.
