Plan Asset Transactions Determined by In-House Asset Managers under Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 96-23

Key Information

Abstract

The Department granted PTE 84-14 (49 FR 9494, as corrected 50 FR 41430), a class exemption that permits various parties in interest (as defined in ERISA section 3(14)) to employee benefit plans to engage in transactions involving plan assets if, among other conditions, the assets are managed by a “qualified professional asset manager” (QPAM), but still did not provide relief for transactions involving the assets of plans managed by an in-house asset manager. The Department granted PTE 96-23 (61 FR 15975), Class Exemption for Plan Asset Transactions Determined by In-House Asset Managers. The class exemption permits various parties in interest to employee benefit plans to engage in transactions involving plan assets if, among other requirements, the assets are managed by an in-house asset manager (INHAM). PTE 96-23 contains requirements for written guidelines between an INHAM and a property manager that an INHAM has retained to act on its behalf. The information collection requirements consist of the requirements that the INHAM develop written policies and procedures designed to assure compliance with the conditions of the exemption and have an independent auditor conduct an annual INHAM exemption audit and issue an audit report to each plan.

Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption for Certain Transactions Between Investment Companies and Employee Benefit Plans (PTE 1977-4)

Key Information

Abstract

PTE 77-4, which was originally granted on April 8, 1977, exempts from the prohibited transaction restrictions the purchase and sale by an employee benefit plan of shares from a registered, open-end investment company (mutual fund) when a fiduciary of the plan (e.g., an investment manager) is also the investment advisor for the investment company. There are three disclosure requirements incorporated within the class exemption. The first requirement is intended to put the plan on notice of possible fees associated with the redemption of open-end mutual fund shares. It requires disclosure of any redemption fees in the current prospectus of the open-end mutual fund (the prospectus in effect at the time of the plan’s acquisition or disposal of such shares). The class exemption permits a plan to pay a redemption fee on the sale, by redemption, of open-end mutual fund shares only if the fee is paid to the open-end mutual company and the above noted disclosure is made. The second requirement is that, at the time of the purchase or sale of such mutual fund shares, an independent fiduciary receive a copy of the current prospectus issued by the open-end mutual fund and full written disclosure of the investment advisory fees charged to or paid by the plan and the open-end mutual fund to the investment advisor. Pursuant to advisory opinion 2013-04A, the Department interprets the term “prospectus” in PTE 77-4 to include a “summary prospectus” if the summary prospectus meets the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s revised disclosure provisions for mutual funds including a summary prospectus rule that were published in 2009 Pursuant to the SEC’s revised disclosure provisions, mutual funds also are required to send the full prospectus to the investor upon an investor’s request, and to provide the full prospectus on-line at a specified internet site. The third requirement is that the independent fiduciary be notified of any changes in the fees and approves in writing the plan’s purchase or sale of affected mutual fund shares, or the plan’s continued possession of any such mutual fund shares that it had acquired before the fee changes.

Cooperation with States at Commerical Nuclear Power Plants and Other Nuclear Production and Utilization Facilities, Policy Statement

Key Information

Abstract

States and Federally recognized Indian Tribes are involved and interested in monitoring the safety status of nuclear power plants and other nuclear production and utilization facilities. This involvement is, in part, in response to the States' and Tribes' public health and safety responsibilities and, in part, in response to their citizens' desire to become more knowledgeable about the safety of nuclear power plants and other nuclear production and utilization facilities. States and Tribes have identified NRC inspections as one possible source of knowledge for their personnel regarding NRC licensee activities, and the NRC, through the policy statement, “Cooperation with States at Commercial Nuclear Power Plants and Other Nuclear Production or Utilization Facilities” (57 FR 6462; February 25, 1992), has been amenable to accommodating States' and Tribes' needs in this regard. The NRC uses the information collected under this information collection requirement to allow States and Federally recognized Indian Tribes to participate in or observe inspections at NRC-licensed facilities. The types of information collected include written requests identifying specific inspections States and Tribes wish to observe; identification-related information required for site access to NRC-licensed facilities; training and qualifications of State and Tribal personnel participating in inspections; information required to define inspection roles for States and Tribes; and information to coordinate NRC and State and Tribal inspections.

NASA Safety Reporting System

Key Information

Abstract

The NASA Safety Reporting System (NSRS) was established to provide a fast response hazard identification and reporting system, which aids in the elimination of unsafe conditions and the prevention of accidents. In addition, the NSRS serves as a mechanism for elevating problems to selected upper management when standard channels fail. The NSRS is a voluntary, anonymous, and non-punitive supplement to formal safety reporting procedures and is administered by an independent agent, ARES Corporation of McLean Virginia. The only means of reporting to the NSRS is the NSRS report form, which is available to all NASA and contractor employees. During the first year of operation the NSRS handled safety hazard reports pertaining to the Space Shuttle program. Subsequently, the NSRS has been expanded to handle safety hazard reports pertaining to all NASA programs, projects, and operations. The information provided by these reports has resulted in direct changes to NASA policies, procedures, and operations which has significantly reduced NASA's safety risk. Information collected is maintained in accordance with NASA Records Retention Schedule 1441.1, 2017 Edition. This information collection enables NASA Contractors to voluntarily and confidentially report safety concerns or hazards pertaining to any NASA program, project, or operation which has not been resolved through local safety reporting processes. The report is received and processed by an independent agent. No changes to the collection instrument have been made since the collection's previous PRA approval in 2016.

Notice Requirements of the Health Care Continuation Coverage Provisions

Key Information

Abstract

The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (COBRA) provides that under certain circumstances participants and beneficiaries of group health plans that satisfy the definition of “qualified beneficiaries” under COBRA may elect to continue group health coverage temporarily following events known as “qualifying events” that would otherwise result in loss of coverage. Under the regulatory guidelines, plan administrators are required to distribute notices: a general notice to be distributed to all participants in group health plans subject to COBRA; an employer notice that must be completed by the employer upon the occurrence of a qualifying event; a notice and election form to be sent to a participant upon the occurrence of a qualifying event that might cause the participant to lose group health coverage; an employee notice that may be completed by a qualified beneficiary upon the occurrence of certain qualifying events such as divorce or disability; and, two other notices, one of early termination and the other a notice of unavailability. Also included in the ICR are two model notices that the Department believes will help reduce costs for service providers in preparing and delivering notices to comply with the regulations.

Statutory Exemption for Cross-Trading of Securities

Key Information

Abstract

The Statutory Exemption for Cross-Trading of Securities regulation (29 CFR 2550.408b-19) implements the content requirements for the written cross-trading policies and procedures required under section 408(b)(19)(H) of ERISA, as added by section 611(g) of the Pension Protection Act of 2006, Public Law 109-280 (the PPA). Section 611(g)(1) of the PPA created a statutory exemption, added to section 408(b) of ERISA as subsection 408(b)(19), that exempts from the prohibitions of sections 406(a)(1)(A) and 406(b)(2) of ERISA those cross-trading transactions involving the purchase and sale of a security between an account holding assets of a pension plan and any other account managed by the same investment manager, provided that certain conditions are satisfied. On October 7, 2008, the Department issued final regulations regarding cross-trading policies and procedures (73 FR 58450). The regulation provides that the policies and procedures for cross-trading under the statutory exemption must meet certain content requirements. The statutory exemption requires, as a condition to exemptive relief, that an investment manager's policies and procedures regarding cross-trading be provided in advance to the fiduciary of any plan that is considering agreeing to allow its assets to be managed under the investment manager's cross-trading program. The investment manager is also required, under the statutory exemption, to designate a compliance officer responsible for periodically reviewing the investment manager's cross-trading program to ensure compliance with the investment manager's cross-trading written policies and procedures. The statutory exemption requires the compliance officer to issue an annual report to each plan fiduciary describing the steps performed during the course of the review, the level of compliance, and any specific instances of noncompliance. The exemption does not require any reporting or filing with the Federal government.

NESHAP for Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines (40 CFR part 63, subpart ZZZZ) (Final Rule)

Key Information

Abstract

The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZ) were proposed on December 19, 2002: promulgated on June 15, 2004; and revised on: June 26, 2006; January 18, 2008; January 30, 2013; and February 27, 2014, and August 10, 2022. These regulations apply to owners and operators of a stationary reciprocating internal combustion engines (RICE) at either a major or area source of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions, except if the stationary RICE is being tested at a stationary RICE test cell/stand. A stationary RICE is any internal combustion engine which uses reciprocating motion to convert heat energy into mechanical work and which is not mobile. New facilities include those that commenced construction, modification or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZ. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP. Current amendments to the regulations mainly add electronic reporting provisions to the rule. In general, the changes do not result in regulated entities needing to submit anything additional electronically that is not currently submitted via paper copies, and this is therefore expected to lessen recordkeeping and reporting burden. This supporting statement addresses incremental information collection activities that will be imposed by the amendments to the NESHAP for Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines.

Study of Warning Devices for Stopped Commercial Motor Vehicles

Key Information

Abstract

FMCSA is seeking Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval of a new information collection entitled “Study of Warning Devices for Stopped Commercial Motor Vehicles.” Participation in the study is voluntary, so in the event of participation, no small business will have an imposed burden that it is not willing to bear. Information collection activities are planned for an 18-month period. Parked or disabled commercial motor vehicles (PDCMVs) on the road negatively impact traffic operations and safety. FMCSA requires specific warning devices to be carried on all commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) and, except in the case of necessary traffic stops, be deployed near the vehicle whenever it is stopped on the road or shoulder. Advances in automated driving system (ADS) technology have raised critical questions regarding potential barriers to regulatory compliance with warning device safety standards and regulations which reference a “driver.” Alternative types of warning devices developed by industry, including those intended to increase driver safety during device deployment, have resulted in multiple applications for exemption from the corresponding safety regulations. These recent issues related to warning device requirements also call attention to unresolved questions of how and to what extent the use of such devices improves traffic safety. Given the increasing focus on ADS, questions surrounding the safety of CMV drivers when deploying warning devices, and the availability of new technology and alternative devices, there is a need to thoroughly evaluate the use of warning devices under current regulations. FMCSA has established a contract with Virginia Tech Transportation Institute (VTTI) to collect the information associated with this ICR. Under indirect oversight of an FMCSA Contracting Officer’s Representative, experienced VTTI research staff will perform all data collection activities described in this ICR. The findings will contribute to safety by ensuring that FMCSA’s decisions and regulations are data-driven and based on safety. FMCSA’s purpose for collecting this information is to develop an understanding of whether and to what extent the deployment of warning devices near a stopped commercial motor vehicle affects the driving behavior of passing motorists, and those elements of driving behavior which have the potential to influence the likelihood of a crash involving the stopped vehicle.

Alaska Community Quota Entity (CQE) Program

Key Information

Abstract

The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Alaska Regional Office, requests a revision and extension of this currently approved information collection, which incorporates minor updates for clarity and regulatory accuracy. These changes to the forms include updating the Public Reporting Burden Statement to include the form's specific purpose, and updating website links. Additionally, the “Application for Transfer of Quota Share to or from a Community Quota Entity” form was updated to include the correct the language from "The party to whom a CQE is seeking to transfer the IFQ must hold a Transfer Eligibility Certificate (TEC) unless they are a resident of the Aleutian Islands (Adak) for at least 12 months" to "The party to whom a CQE is seeking to transfer the IFQ must hold a Transfer Eligibility Certificate (TEC) unless they hold an Aleutian Islands (Adak) TEC." This change accurately reflects current regulations and requirements. No other changes were made to the collection other than adjustments to reflect the most current available data. This information collection is for applications, permits, and reports that are necessary for NMFS to manage the Community Quota Entity (CQE) Program. NMFS requires this information for fisheries management and to evaluate the ability of a specific CQE to represent an eligible community. Without this collection, the cost of making decisions based on inadequate information would adversely affect the viability of the CQE fishing industry and impact the economic health of the participating communities.
