SUMMARY: In accordance with the

Department of Labor (the Department)
conducts a preclearance consultation
program so that the general public and
other federal agencies can comment on
proposed and continuing collections of
information. This program helps to
ensure that the data the Department
gathers arrive in the desired format, that
the reporting burden on the public (time
and financial resources) is minimized,
that the public understands the
collection instruments, and that the
Department can accurately assess the
impact of collection requirements on
respondents.
By this notice, the Department is
soliciting comments on the information
collection provisions of regulations
pertaining to section 104(a)(6) of the
Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA). The
statute and the regulatory provisions
codified at 29 CFR 2520.104a–8 require
the administrator of an employee benefit
plan subject to Part 1 of Title I of ERISA
to furnish the Secretary of Labor with
certain documents relating to the plan
upon request. A copy of the information
collection request (ICR) can be obtained
by contacting the office shown in the
ADDRESSES section of this notice. ICRs
submitted to OMB also are available at
http://www.RegInfo.gov.
DATES: Written comments must be
submitted to the office shown in the
addresses section on or before October
14, 2008.

ADDRESSES:

I. Background
Pursuant to section 101(a)(6) of
ERISA, the administrator of any
employee benefit plan subject to Part 1
of Title I of ERISA is required to furnish
to the Secretary of Labor, on request,
any documents related to the employee
benefit plan including but not limited
to, the latest SPD (including any
summaries of plan changes not
contained in the SPD), and the
bargaining agreement, trust agreement,
contract, or other instrument under
which the plan is established or
operated. The Department issued a final
implementing regulation under this
provision on January 7, 2002 (67 FR
777), which is codified at 29 CFR
2520.104a–8. The ICR relating to the
regulation was approved following
publication of a notice of proposed
rulemaking on August 5, 1999 (64 FR
42797). The ICR is scheduled to expire
on December 31, 2008.
II. Desired Focus of Comments
The Department 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;
• 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.
