## Abstract

On April 8, 1997, the Department of Labor published interim final rules governing disclosure requirements for private sector group health plans (62 FR 16979). The rules implemented changes made to certain provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), enacted as part of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and the Newborns' and Mothers' Health Protection Act of 1996 (NMHPA). In the April 8 publication, the Department submitted its revision of the currently approved collection regarding Summary Plan Description requirements under ERISA to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for emergency review under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA 95). This document amends the April 8 Federal Register document to properly display the OMB control number, 1210-0039.
