SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PBGC's regulation on Rules for 
Administrative Review of Agency Decisions (29 CFR part 4003) prescribes 
rules governing the issuance of initial determinations by PBGC and the 
procedures for requesting and obtaining administrative review of 
initial determinations through reconsideration or appeal. Subpart A of 
the regulation specifies which initial determinations are subject to 
reconsideration. Subpart C prescribes rules on who may request 
reconsideration, when to make such a request, where to submit it, form 
and content of reconsideration requests, and other matters relating to 
reconsiderations.
    Any person aggrieved by an initial determination of PBGC under 
Sec.  4003.1(b)(1) (determinations that a plan is covered by section 
4021 of ERISA), Sec.  4003.1(b)(2) (determinations concerning premiums, 
interest, and late payment penalties under section 4007 of ERISA), 
Sec.  4003.1(b)(3) (determinations concerning voluntary terminations), 
or Sec.  4003.1(b)(4) (determinations concerning allocation of assets 
under section 4044 of ERISA) may request reconsideration of the initial 
determination. Requests for reconsideration must be in writing, be 
clearly designated as requests for reconsideration, contain a statement 
of the grounds for reconsideration and the relief sought, and contain 
or reference all pertinent information.
    OMB has approved the administrative appeals collection of 
information under control number 1212-0063 through September 30, 2010. 
PBGC is requesting that OMB extend its approval of this collection of 
information for three years. 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.
    PBGC estimates that an average of 796 filers per year will respond 
to this collection of information. PBGC further estimates that the 
annual burden of this collection of information per filer is 0.29 hours 
and $646, with a total annual burden of 234.5 hours and $514,150.

    Issued in Washington, DC, this 30th day of June 2010.
John H. Hanley,
Director, Legislative and Regulatory Department, Pension Benefit 
Guaranty Corporation.
