SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is
hereby given of the pendency before the
Department of a proposed exemption
that would amend PTE 99–29. Section
I of PTE 99–29 conditionally permits
Banks Trust Company 1 to continue to
function as a QPAM pursuant to PTE
84–14, notwithstanding its failure to
satisfy section I(g) of PTE 84–14. Section
I(g) specifies that:
Neither the QPAM nor any affiliate thereof
(as defined in section V(d)), nor any owner,
direct or indirect, of a 5 percent or more
interest in the QPAM is a person who within
the 10 years immediately preceding the
transaction has been either convicted or
released from imprisonment, whichever is
later, as a result of: Any felony involving
abuse or misuse of such person’s employee
benefit plan position or employment, or
position or employment with a labor
organization; any felony arising out of the
conduct of the business of a broker, dealer,
investment adviser, bank, insurance
company or fiduciary; income tax evasion;
any felony involving the larceny, theft,
robbery, extortion, forgery, counterfeiting,
fraudulent concealment, embezzlement,
fraudulent conversion, or misappropriation
of funds or securities; conspiracy or attempt
to commit any such crimes or a crime in
which any of the foregoing crimes is an
element; or any other crime described in
section 411 of the Employee Income
Retirement Security Act of 1974 (ERISA or
the Act). For purposes of this section (g), a
person shall be deemed to have been
‘‘convicted’’ from the date of the judgment of
the trial court, regardless of whether that
judgment remains under appeal.
Section I of PTE 99–29 was effective
for the period beginning on the date of
sentencing with respect to the charges to
which Bankers Trust Company pled
guilty on March 11, 1999 and ending on
July 27, 2004, as a result of the
conviction of Bankers Trust Company
for felonies described in the March 11,
1999 felony information entered in the
U.S. District Court for the Southern
District of New York (the Information),
provided that the conditions of the PTE
99–29 were met.2
1 On June 4, 1999, Deutsche Bank, AG acquired
Bankers Trust Corporation. DBTA is indirectly
wholly owned by Deutsche Bank, AG. Thus, any
reference to Bankers Trust Company should be read
to mean DBTCA.

The conditions of section I of PTE 99–
29 include the following:
(a) The exemption is not applicable if
Bankers Trust Company becomes
affiliated with any person or entity
convicted of any of the crimes described
in section I(g) of PTE 84–14;
(b) The exemption is not applicable if
Bankers Trust Company is convicted of
any crimes described in section I(g) of
PTE 84–14, other than those felonies
discussed in the Information;
(c) The custody operations that were
part of Bankers Trust Company at the
time of the March 11, 1999 information,
and which have subsequently been
reorganized as part of Global
Institutional Services (GIS), are subject
to an annual examination of its
abandoned property and escheatment
policies, procedures and practices by an
independent public accounting firm.
The examination required by this
condition shall determine whether the
written procedures adopted by Bankers
Trust Company are properly designed to
assure compliance with the
requirements of ERISA. The annual
examination shall specifically require a
determination by the auditor as to
whether the Bank has developed and
adopted internal policies and
procedures that achieve appropriate
control objectives and shall include a
test of a representative sample of
transactions, fifty percent of which must
involve ERISA covered plans, to
determine operational compliance with
such policies and procedures. The
auditor shall issue a written report
describing the steps performed by the
auditor during the course of its
examination. The report shall include
the auditor’s specific findings and
recommendations. This requirement
shall continue to be applicable to the
custody operations that were part of
Bankers Trust Company as of March 11,
1999, notwithstanding any subsequent
reorganization of the custody operation
function during the term of the
exemption.
(d) With respect to the independent
audit report described in section I(c)
above: (1) Bankers Trust Company shall
provide notice to the Department of any
instances of the Bank’s noncompliance
with the written policies and
procedures reviewed by the auditor
within 10 business days after such
noncompliance is determined by the
auditor notwithstanding the fact that the
examination may not have been
completed as of that date. Upon request,
the auditor shall provide the
Department with all of the relevant
notice of proposed exemption at 64 FR 30360, June
7, 1999.
