Disclosures for Participant Directed Individual Account Plans

Key Information

Abstract

The Department published a final regulation under ERISA section 404(a), with conforming amendments to the regulations under ERISA section 404(c), that requires plan fiduciaries to disclose plan- and investment-related fee and expense information to participants and beneficiaries in all participant directed individual account plans (e.g., 401(k)-type plans) for plan years that began on or after November 1, 2011, and at least annually thereafter (defined by regulation as at least once in any 14-month period, without regard to whether the plan operates on a calendar or fiscal year basis). The final rule, 29 CFR 2550.404a-5(c), requires three sub-categories of plan-related information to be provided to participants and beneficiaries. The first sub-category is general plan information, which includes how participants may give investment instructions or exercise proxy voting or tendering rights, restrictions on transferring account assets among investment alternatives, and identification of the plan's designated investment alternatives and designated investment managers (29 CFR 2550.404a-5(c)(1)). The second sub-category of plan-related information is administrative expense information, which refers to explanations of any fees and expenses for general plan administrative services (e.g., legal, accounting, recordkeeping) charged to individual accounts and the basis for allocating such charges among the accounts (e.g., pro-rata, per capita). (29 CFR 2550.404a-5(c)(2)). The third sub-category of plan-related information is individual expense information, which describes expenses assessed against accounts based on the actions taken by individual participants or beneficiaries. This would include charges for processing participant loans and qualified domestic relations orders. (29 CFR 2550.404a-5(c)(3)). Changes to this information must be disclosed at least 30 days but no more than 90 days before the effective date of the change except for unforeseen events or circumstances beyond the plan administrator's control. The rule also requires plan administrators to disclose three sub-categories of investment-related information to participants and beneficiaries on or before their date of eligibility, which relates to the plans designated investment alternatives. The first sub-category of information is information required to be provided automatically (29 CFR 2550.404a-5(d)(1)). For each designated investment alternative, the plan must disclose specified identifying information, past performance data, comparable benchmark returns, fee and expense information, and an internet website address that is sufficiently specific to lead participants and beneficiaries to specified supplemental information for each investment alternative. Investment-related information must be furnished in a chart or similar format designed to help participants compare the plan's investment alternatives across each category of information. (29 CFR 2550.404a-5(d)(2)). To facilitate compliance, the rule includes a model chart that may be used by plan fiduciaries to satisfy this requirement. The second sub-category of investment-related information is post-investment information. Following a participant's investment in an alternative, the plan administrator must provide any materials it receives regarding voting, tender or similar rights in the alternative (“pass-through materials”) to the extent such rights are passed through to the participant or beneficiary (29 CFR 2550.404a-5(d)(3)). The third sub-category of investment-related information is information to be provided upon request (29 CFR 2550.404a-5(d)(4)). Participants may request the plan to provide prospectuses, financial reports, as well as statements of valuation and a list of assets held by an investment alternative.

Application for Use of Public Space by Non-DOL Agencies in the Frances Perkins Building

Key Information

Abstract

Consistent with 40 U.S.C. § 581(h)(2), Federal Management Regulation (FMR) Part 102, and the GSA Delegation under which the Department of Labor (DOL) operates the Frances Perkins Building (FPB), DOL allows the use of public space within the FPB for non-commercial purposes. As provided by FMR 102-74, Subpart D, (41 CFR 102-74-460, et seq.) any person or entity that wishes to use public space in a Federal building is required to submit an application for a permit. In order to capture the nature of the request, information such as the requester, description of event, date, time, and approvals are collected in order to review the appropriateness of the request and make a determination of the availability of the requested public space. DOL experience shows that the agency actually receives fewer than 10 non-DOL Agency requests to use FPB public space in any given year; however, as the information is contained in a rule of general applicability, the information collection is deemed to involve 10 or more persons. See 5 CFR 1320.3(c)(4)(ii). DOL, consequently, must maintain PRA authority to conduct this information collection.

NSPS for Greenhouse Gas Emissions for New Electric Utility Generating Units (40 CFR part 60, supbart TTTT) (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions for New Electric Utility Generating Units (EGUs) (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart TTTT) were proposed on June 2, 2014, and promulgated on October 23, 2015. Amendments to 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart TTTT were proposed on December 6, 2018, but EPA did not finalize amendments to the 2015 final rule. On January 13, 2021, EPA finalized a pollutant-specific significant contribution finding for this source category, which was vacated and remanded on April 5, 2021. The rule was most recently amended on May 4, 2024. These regulations apply to newly constructed, modified or reconstructed facilities with electric utility generating units (EGUs) including any steam generating unit, IGCC, or stationary combustion turbine that either commenced construction or modification after January 8, 2014 or commenced reconstruction after June 18, 2014, but on or before May 23, 2023. To be considered an EGU, the unit must be: (1) capable of combusting more than 250 MMBtu/h heat input of fossil fuel; and (2) serve a generator capable of supplying more than 25 MW net to a utility distribution system (i.e., for sale to the grid). This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart TTTT. Units that commence construction, reconstruction, or modification after May 23, 2023 will be subject to 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart TTTTa. In general, all NSPS standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NSPS. Respondents are required to submit electronic copies of quarterly reports, required in 40 CFR 60.5555, using the Emissions Collection and Monitoring Plan System (ECMPS) Client Tool provided by the Clean Air Markets Division in the Office of Atmospheric Programs of EPA. The ECMPS is a desktop software tool that sources must use to submit quarterly emissions summary reports to EPA to comply with 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart TTTT. Using the ECMPS, the emissions summary reports are submitted to the EPA in extensible-markup language (XML) format. The tool and instructions are available at: https://www.epa.gov/power-sector/reporting-data-using-ecmps. The supplemental files to this ICR renewal contain screenshots showing the ECMPS login screen, the ECMPS interface for reporting emissions data, and the ECMPS reporting instructions for 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart TTTT.

Medical Permit Parking Application

Key Information

Abstract

SSA employees and contractors with a qualifying medical condition who park at SSA owned and leased facilities may apply to receive a medical parking permit. SSA uses two forms for this program: (1) the SSA-3192, the Application and Statement, which an individual completes when first applying for the medical parking space; and (2) the SSA 3193, the Physician’s Report, which the applicant’s physician completes to verify the medical condition after the individual completes the top portion and brings the form to the physician. The respondents are SSA employees and contractors seeking medical parking permits and their physicians. Because SSA employees are Federal workers exempt from the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act, the burden below is only for SSA contractors and physicians (of both SSA employees and contractors).

NSPS for Secondary Lead Smelters (40 CFR part 60, subpart L) (Final Rule)

Key Information

Abstract

The EPA promulgated the NSPS for the secondary lead smelting source category (40 CFR part 60, Subpart L) on March 8, 1974. Subpart L as promulgated in 1974 regulates particulate matter (PM) emissions from blast and reverberatory furnaces and also specifies limits for visible emissions (opacity) for blast, reverberatory, and pot (refining) furnaces. The EPA amended Subpart L on October 10, 1975, to remove a provision providing that the failure to meet the NSPS emissions limits due to the presence of uncombined water in the stack gases was not considered a violation. Currently, there are 11 secondary lead smelting facilities in the United States and each facility operates furnaces that are subject to the PM and opacity limits specified in Subpart L. Section 111 of the Clean Air Act (CAA) requires the EPA to review the NSPS at least every 8 years and to revise the standards of performance that are applicable to new, modified, and reconstructed sources, if appropriate, to reflect the best system of emissions reduction (BSER), accounting for the cost, environmental, and energy impacts associated with achieving the reduction. Based on the CAA Section 111 review of the NSPS for the secondary lead smelting source category, the EPA finalized updates to Subpart L including revisions to the applicability dates. Additionally, the EPA finalized requirements for periodic performance tests for PM and incorporated the monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements, including electronic reporting of performance tests, specified in NESHAP Subpart X to improve the consistency between the NSPS and NESHAP for secondary lead smelting facilities. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart L. In general, all NSPS standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NSPS.

National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Program (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

This Information Collection Request (ICR) renews the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Program ICR. It calculates the information collection burden and costs associated with the NPDES program, identifies the types of activities regulated under the NPDES program, describes the roles and responsibilities of state governments and the Agency, and presents the program areas that address the various types of regulated activities. This ICR renewal covers information collection burden and costs associated with activities previously reported in 22 NPDES program or NPDES-related ICRs. The Clean Water Act (CWA) provides that NPDES permits are required for the discharge of pollutants to waters of the United States. The CWA requires that EPA develop and implement the NPDES permit program. CWA section 402(b) allows states to acquire authority to administer the NPDES program, enabling them to issue NPDES permits for discharges within the state. At present, 47 states and the U.S. Virgin Islands are authorized to administer the NPDES permit program. In states that do not have authority for these programs, the Agency administers the program and issues NPDES permits. Because some permit applications are processed by states and some by EPA, this ICR calculates government burden and cost for both authorized states and EPA.

[NCHS] National Survey of Family Growth

Key Information

Abstract

National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) collects and disseminate “statistics on family formation, growth, and dissolution.” The NSFG supplements and complements the data from birth and fetal death certificates by monitoring factors (such as sexual activity, contraception, marriage and cohabitation, and infertility) that affect birth and pregnancy rates. The NSFG provides nationally representative data on factors related to fertility, family formation, and reproductive health for NCHS and its cosponsors within DHHS. Throughout its history, NSFG has been administered in person, in English and Spanish, with a self-administered portion added in more recent survey periods. Under the plan laid out in this clearance request, NSFG builds on its past survey design and procedures and incorporates online administration into a multi-phase, multi-mode design. This design calls for about 5,000 people aged 15-49 to be interviewed each year, however higher yields are sought in Year 3 and beyond to compensate for the underproduction seen in the first 2 years of data collection due to the COVID-19 pandemic and associated labor market challenges. For this Revision, no survey content changes are proposed since the most recent nonsubstantive change request approved on 9/15/2025, however a few revisions to survey invitation materials are proposed for implementation in Year 6 data collection scheduled to begin in January 2027. There is a minor reduction to the burden.

Beneficiary and Family Centered Data Collection (CMS-10393)

Key Information

Abstract

Information collection activities for the Beneficiary and Family Centered Information Collection include the following: Experience Survey: The population is comprised of Medicare beneficiaries who received support from a QIO with an appeal or complaint case. The sample will be stratified, analyzed, and reported by case type: • Appeal stratum – A simple random sample will be drawn of approximately 3 percent (9,000) of the annual universe (n=350,000). No sub-stratum oversampling will be used. This is expected to yield sufficient data to support quarterly analytic and evaluation reporting. • Complaint medical record review stratum - Given the relatively small annual volume (n=1,500), a census will be drawn in order to yield sufficient data for quarterly analytic and evaluation reporting. • Immediate advocacy stratum - A simple random sample will be drawn of approximately 30 percent (4,500) of the annual universe (n=15,000). No sub-stratum oversampling will be used. This is expected to yield sufficient data for quarterly analytic and evaluation reporting. Information collection will be conducted via telephone with paper surveys sent by mail upon request, and for those who do not respond by telephone. Data will be collected monthly with the annualized sample and burden hours allocated evenly across 12 months.
