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 2019 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 74 responses and the burden hours by 56 hours compared with the prior submission.
