Abstract:
PTE 76-1 permits multi employer employee benefit plans under specific conditions to negotiate with contributing employer to accept delinquent contributions and settle delinquencies; to make construction loans to contributing employers; and to lease property and purchase services and goods from parties in interest, including contributing employers and employee associations. PTE 77-10 expands the scope of relief provided under PTE 76-1 part C, for leasing property and purchasing goods and services. PTE 78-6 provides an exemption to multi employer apprenticeship plans for purchasing personal property or leasing real property from a contributing employer. All three exemptions impose recordkeeping requirements on plans as a condition to availability of the relief.

Short Statement:
There have been no program changes to the exemptions since the last submission. One adjustment made to the burden analysis arises from new data on the number of multiemployer plans eligible to rely on the exemptions, taken from the 2009 Form 5500 filings, which has resulted in upward revisions to the number of responses and the annual hour burden. In total, EBSA estimates an hour burden of 1,430 hours for the PTEs 76-1, 77-10, and 78-06, compared to 1,052 hours recorded in the current OMB inventory.
