(For TTY and TDD, call 800-877-8339 and request connection to 202-326-4024.) SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PBGC's regulation on Rules for Administrative Review of Agency Decisions (29 CFR part 4003) prescribes rules governing the issuance of initial determinations by PBGC and the procedures for requesting and obtaining administrative review of initial determinations through reconsideration or appeal. Subpart A of the regulation specifies which initial determinations are subject to reconsideration. Subpart C prescribes rules on who may request reconsideration, when to make such a request, where to submit it, form and content of reconsideration requests, and other matters relating to reconsiderations. Any person aggrieved by an initial determination of PBGC under Sec. 4003.1(b)(1) (determinations that a plan is covered by section 4021 of ERISA), Sec. 4003.1(b)(2) (determinations concerning premiums, interest, and late payment penalties under section 4007 of ERISA), Sec. 4003.1(b)(3) (determinations concerning voluntary terminations), Sec. 4003.1(b)(4) (determinations concerning allocation of assets under section 4044 of ERISA), or Sec. 4003.1(b)(5) (determinations with respect to penalties under section 4071 of ERISA) may request reconsideration of the initial determination. Requests for reconsideration must be in writing, be clearly designated as requests for reconsideration, contain a statement of the grounds for reconsideration and the relief sought, and contain or reference all pertinent information. OMB has approved the reconsiderations collection of information under control number 1212-0063 through July 31, 2016. PBGC intends to request that OMB extend approval without change of this collection of information 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 that an average of about 230 appellants per year will respond to this collection of information. PBGC further estimates [[Page 18657]] that the average annual burden of this collection of information is about one-half hour and about $665 per person, with an average total annual burden of about 109 hours and about $153,000. 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 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.
