PENSION BENEFIT GUARANTY CORPORATION



29 CFR Ch. XXVI



Agenda of Regulations Under Development



AGENCY: Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC).



ACTION: Semiannual regulatory agenda.



_______________________________________________________________________



SUMMARY: This document sets forth the Pension Benefit Guaranty 

Corporation's regulatory agenda issued under Executive Order 12866 and 

the Regulatory Flexibility Act. The agenda lists regulations that are 

currently under development or review or that PBGC expects to have 

under development or review during the next 12 months. The effect of 

this agenda is to advise the public of PBGC's current and future 

regulatory activities.



ADDRESSES: Office of the General Counsel, Pension Benefit Guaranty 

Corporation, 1200 K Street NW., Washington, DC 20005-4026.



FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For further information on the agenda 

in general, contact Harold J. Ashner, Assistant General Counsel, Office 

of the General Counsel, (202) 326-4024. For information about a 

specific regulation project listed on the agenda, contact the person 

designated in the agenda for that regulation.



SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the President's order on Regulatory 

Planning and Review, Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 

1993), each agency is required to prepare an agenda of all regulations 

under development or review. The Regulatory Flexibility Act, Public Law 

98-354, 5 U.S.C. 601, has a similar agenda requirement. Under that law, 

the agenda must list any regulation that is likely to have a 

significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.



    The Office of Management and Budget has issued guidelines 

prescribing the form and content of the regulatory agenda. Under 

those guidelines, the agenda must list all regulatory activities 

being conducted or reviewed in the next 12 months and provide 

certain specified information on each regulation. All of the items 

on this agenda are current or projected rulemakings. This edition 

of the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory 

Actions includes The Regulatory Plan, which appears in part II of 

this issue of the Federal Register. The Pension Benefit Guaranty 

Corporation's Statement of Regulatory Priorities is included in 

part II.



David M. Strauss,



Executive Director, Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation.
