SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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.
    Section 4007 of Title IV of the Employee Retirement Income Security 
Act of 1974 (``ERISA'') requires the Pension Benefit Guaranty 
Corporation (``PBGC'') to collect premiums from pension plans covered 
under Title IV pension insurance programs. ERISA section 4006 
prescribes the premium rates. Pursuant to ERISA sections 4006 and 4007, 
the PBGC has issued its regulations on Premium Rates (29 CFR Part 4006) 
and Payment of Premiums (29 CFR Part 4007). Part 4007 requires among 
other things that plans use PBGC forms and instructions in paying 
premiums. (The forms also include a certification of compliance with 
requirements under the PBGC's regulation on Disclosure to Participants 
(29 CFR Part 4011).) The control number assigned to this collection of 
information by the Office of Management and Budget (``OMB'') is 1212-
0009. On October 23, 2000, the PBGC published a notice that it was 
requesting extension of OMB approval of this collection of information.
    A final rule appearing elsewhere in today's Federal Register adopts 
amendments to Parts 4006 and 4007 of the PBGC's regulations and affects 
this collection of information. This notice informs the public that the 
PBGC is supplementing its pending request for extension of OMB approval 
of this collection of information by submitting to OMB for review and 
approval the revised collection of information, including revised 
premium forms and instructions reflecting these amendments.

    Issued in Washington, DC, this 22nd day of November, 2000.
Stuart A. Sirkin,
Director, Corporate Policy and Research Department, Pension Benefit 
Guaranty Corporation.
