Section 110 of ERISA 29 U.S.C. 1030
authorizes the Secretary of Labor to prescribe alternative methods of compliance with the reporting and disclosure requirements of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ERISA for pension plans.
Simplified Employee Pensions SEPs are established by section 408k of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 the Code. Although SEPs are primarily a development of the Code subject to its requirements, SEPs are also pension plans subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of Title I of ERISA. The disclosure requirements set forth in the regulation ensure that administrators of non-model SEPs provide participants with specific written information concerning SEPs.
This ICR generally requires timely written disclosure to employees eligible to participate in non-model SEPs, including specific information concerning: Participation requirements;
allocation formulas for employer contributions; designated contact persons for further information; and, for employer recommended IRAs, specific terms of the IRAs such as rates of return and any restrictions on withdrawals. For additional substantive information about this ICR, see the related notice published in the Federal Register on October 20, 2020 85 FR 66580.
This information collection is subject to the PRA. A Federal agency generally cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information, and the public is generally not required to respond to an information collection, unless the OMB
approves it and displays a currently valid OMB Control Number. In addition, notwithstanding any other provisions of law, no person shall generally be subject to penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information that does not
