PTE 76-1 permits multi employer
employee benefit plans under specific conditions to negotiate with
contributing employer to accept delinquent contributions and settle
delinquencies; to make construction loans to contributing
employers; and to lease property and purchase services and goods
from parties in interest, including contributing employers and
employee associations. PTE 77-10 expands the scope of relief
provided under PTE 76-1 part C, for leasing property and purchasing
goods and services. PTE 78-6 provides an exemption to multi
employer apprenticeship plans for purchasing personal property or
leasing real property from a contributing employer. All three
exemptions impose recordkeeping requirements on plans as a
condition to availability of the relief.

There have been no program
changes to the exemptions since the last submission. The estimates
have been adjusted to reflect data from 2016 Form 5500 filings (the
most current year available), which reflect fewer plans using the
exemptions and therefore less associated burden. The burden
estimate equivalent costs have also been updated to reflect an
increase in labor costs. These updated data inputs decrease the
number of responses by 142 responses and the burden hours by 35
hours compared with the prior submission.
