Approved as amended by and consistent with DOL's revision of 7/27/98 and memo of 8/24/98. In addition, the following terms of clearance apply: 1)This approval is based on DOL representations to OMB that it is DOL's intention to waive the requirement at 20 CFR 633.314 requiring quarterly reporting. Thus, prior to implementing semi-annual reporting under this approval, DOL must take the necessary steps so that such reporting complies with all related regulatory provisions, 2) DOL will, by June of 1999, have developed and implemented an information system which houses both participant and financial data obtained from the instruments in this approval. Further, this information system will allow DOL to produce a standard package of reports from this data as well as allow DOL to conduct ad hoc queries. DOL will submit to OMB the first of these reports no later than 8/1999 and will continue to submit reports in each August thereafter. 3) Consistent with the 8/24 memo, DOL will, by the next submission of this package for clearance, have in place a mechanism whereby 100% of the respondents will have the opportunity to report the information covered under this approval electronically. 4) Consistent with the time-frame for allowing the Section 402 SPIR to make any necessary changes in light of the recently enacted Workforce Investment Act, this approval expires 6/2000.
