DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Employee Benefits Security
Administration
Proposed Extension of Information
Collection Request Submitted for
Public Comment; Final Rule on Plan
Loans to Participants and
Beneficiaries
Employee Benefits Security
Administration, Department of Labor.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:

The Department of Labor (the
Department), in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA
95) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)), provides
the general public and Federal agencies
with an opportunity to comment on
proposed and continuing collections of
information. This helps the Department
assess the impact of its information
collection requirements and minimize
the public’s reporting burden. It also
helps the public understand the
Department’s information collection
requirements and provide the requested
data in the desired format. The
Employee Benefits Security
Administration is soliciting comments
on the proposed extension of the
information collection provisions of its
regulation relating to loans to plan
participants and beneficiaries who are
parties in interest with respect to the
plan (29 CFR 2550.408b-1). A copy of
the information collection request (ICR)
may be obtained by contacting the office
listed in the ADDRESSES section of this
notice. ICRs also are available at
reginfo.gov (http://www.reginfo.gov/
public/do/PRAMain).
DATES: Written comments must be
submitted to the office shown in the
ADDRESSES section on or before August
17, 2007.
ADDRESSES: Joseph S. Piacentini,
Department of Labor, Employee Benefits
Security Administration, 200

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:

I. Background
The Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) prohibits

PO 00000

Frm 00092

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

a plan fiduciary from causing the plan
to engage in a transaction if he knows
or should know that such transaction
constitutes direct or indirect loan or
extension of credit between the plan
and a party in interest. ERISA section
408(b)(1) exempts from this prohibition
loans from a plan to parties in interest
who are participants and beneficiaries
of the plan, provided that certain
requirements are satisfied. In final
regulations published in the Federal
Register on July 20, 1989 (54 FR 30520),
the Department provided additional
guidance on section 408(b)(1)(C), which
requires that loans be made in
accordance with specific provisions in
the plan. This ICR therefore relates to
the provisions plan documents must
include in order that a plan may make
loans to participants.
II. Current Actions
This notice requests public comment
on the Department’s request for
extension of OMB approval of the
information collection contained in its
final rule at 29 CFR 2550.408b–1. After
considering all the responses to this
notice, the Department intends to
submit an ICR to OMB for continuing
approval. The Department is not
proposing any changes to the existing
ICR at this time. An agency may not
conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, an information
collection unless it displays a valid
OMB control number. A summary of the
ICR and the current burden estimates
follows:
Agency: Employee Benefits Security
Administration, Department of Labor.
Title: Regulation Relating to Loans to
Plan Participants and Beneficiaries who
are Parties in Interest with Respect to
the Plan.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection of
information.
OMB Number: 1210–0076.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households; businesses or other forprofit entities; not-for-profit institutions.
Total Respondents: 1,700.
Frequency of Responses: On occasion.
Responses: 1,700.
Estimated Total Burden Hours: 0.
Estimated Total Burden Cost
(Operating and Maintenance): $428,000.
III. Desired Focus of Comments
The Department of Labor
(Department) is particularly interested
in comments that:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;

E:\FR\FM\18JNN1.SGM

18JNN1

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 116 / Monday, June 18, 2007 / Notices
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s burden estimate in 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 suggestions for
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., by
permitting responses to be submitted
electronically.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized and
possibly included in the ICR for OMB
approval of the extension of the
information collection; they will also
become a matter of public record.

compliance staff.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork

Frm 00093

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

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 (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 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).
The following section describes who
uses the information in the certification
record, as well as how they use it. The
purpose of the requirement is to reduce
employees’ risk of death or serious
injury by ensuring that portable fire
extinguishers are in safe operating
condition.
Test Records (§ 1910.157(f)(16))
Paragraph (f)(16) requires employers
to develop and maintain a certification
record of hydrostatic testing of portable
fire extinguishers. The certification
record must include the date of
inspection, the signature of the person
who performed the test, and the serial
number (or other identifier) of the fire
extinguisher that was tested.
Disclosure of Test Certification Records
The certification record must be made
available to the Assistant Secretary or
his/her representative upon request. The
certification record provides assurance
to employers, employees, and OSHA
compliance officers that the fire
extinguishers have been hydrostatically
tested in accordance with and at the
intervals specified in § 1910.157(f)(16),
thereby, ensuring that they will operate
properly in the event employees need to
use them. Additionally, these records
provide the most efficient means for the
compliance officers to determine that an
employer is complying with the
hydrostatic testing provision.
