Required Paperwork Reduction Act Notice


The PBGC needs this information so that it can determine your entitlement, if any, to a pension benefit under a private defined benefit pension plan that has terminated. A defined benefit plan is a traditional pension plan that promises a specified monthly benefit at retirement. The PBGC does not pay benefits under 401(k) or other defined contribution plans, ongoing defined benefit plans, government plans, and certain other plans.


Your response is voluntary. However, the information is required in order for you to receive such a pension benefit. The PBGC will use this information to determine the form and amount of any such pension benefit and to make appropriate payments. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act, 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. This collection of information has been approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under control number 1212-0055 (expires December XX, 20XX). The information provided to the PBGC may be disclosable under the Freedom of Information Act and the Privacy Act.


The PBGC estimates that the average burden of responding to a request for identifying information as part of an initial contact with the PBGC under the PBGC’s Pension Search program is about 15 minutes, and that the average burden of complying with the information collection request in the PBGC’s application package is about one hour. Comments concerning the accuracy of this estimate or suggestions for further reducing this burden may be sent to Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, Legislative and Regulatory Department, 1200 K Street, NW, Washington, DC 20005-4026.
