The term “authoritative body” is defined in the instructions for item 13. Item 15 Under section 901.12(f)(2), an applicant may be denied enrollment if the applicant has been convicted of any of the offenses (for example, robbery, bribery, extortion, embezzlement, fraud, murder, rape, perjury) referred to in section 411 of ERISA under the laws of the United States, any State or the District of Columbia, or any territory or possession of the United States. See ERISA section 411 (i.e., Section 1111 of Title 29, U.S. Code) for a more detailed list of applicable offenses. Under section 901.12(f)(3), an applicant may also be denied enrollment if the Joint Board finds that the applicant has submitted false or misleading information on an application for enrollment to perform actuarial services or in any oral or written information submitted in connection therewith or in any report presenting actuarial information to any person, knowing the same to be false or misleading. The term “authoritative body” is defined in the instructions for item 13. Schedule A (Employment Record) Complete a separate Schedule A for each employer or period of employment. If employment for an employer consisted of two (or more) periods, one of which consisted of responsible pension actuarial experience and the other(s) did not, treat these as different periods of employment in separate Schedules A. Number each block of employment and provide a Schedule A for each. In general, the individual asked to certify your experience should be your immediate supervisor. However, if your immediate supervisor is not an enrolled actuary, both your immediate supervisor and an enrolled actuary must certify your responsible pension actuarial experience. Note, an enrolled actuary may not certify your responsible pension actuarial experience for any period before he/she is enrolled or for any period thereafter while in inactive status. In addition, if you believe that another individual is better able to certify your experience, please explain and provide the individual's name, position title, address, email address (if known), and telephone number in addition to the information provided for your immediate supervisor. If you believe it is appropriate for several individuals to certify your experience for different periods of time with the same employer, provide the names of such individuals, their position titles, addresses and telephone numbers. Privacy Act and Paperwork Reduction Act Notice Section 1242, Title 29, United States Code, authorizes the Joint Board for the Enrollment of Actuaries (Joint Board) to collect this information.

Applying for enrollment is voluntary; however, providing the information requested on this form is a requirement to obtain the benefit of enrollment. Failure to provide the requested information could delay or prevent processing of your application. Providing false information could subject you to penalties. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is required to respond to, nor shall any person be subject to a penalty for failure to comply with, a collection of information subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act, unless that collection of information displays a currently valid OMB Control Number. Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 60 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing the instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information.
