employee benefit plans to effect or
execute securities transactions on behalf
of employee benefit plans. The
exemption also allows sponsors of
pooled separate accounts and other
pooled investment funds to use their
affiliates to effect or execute securities
transactions for such accounts in order
to recapture brokerage commissions for
benefit of employee benefit plans whose
assets are maintained in pooled separate
accounts managed by the insurance
companies. This exemption provides
relief from certain prohibitions in
section 406(b) of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
(ERISA) and from the taxes imposed by
section 4975(a) and (b) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986 (the Code) by
reason of Code section 4975(c)(1)(E) or
(F).
In order to insure that the exemption
is not abused, that the rights of
participants and beneficiaries are
protected, and that the exemption’s
conditions are being complied with, the
Department has included in the
exemption five information collection
requirements. The first requirement is
written authorization executed in
advance by an independent fiduciary of
the plan whose assets are involved in
the transaction with the brokerfiduciary. The second requirement is,
within three months of the
authorization, the broker-fiduciary
furnish the independent fiduciary with
any reasonably available information
necessary for the independent fiduciary
to determine whether an authorization
should be made. The information must
include a copy of the exemption, a form
for termination, and a description of the
broker-fiduciary’s brokerage placement
practices. The third requirement is that
the broker-fiduciary must provide a
termination form to the independent
fiduciary annually so that the
independent fiduciary may terminate
the authorization without penalty to the
plan; failure to return the form
constitutes continuing authorization.
The fourth requirement is for the brokerfiduciary to report all transactions to the
independent fiduciary, either by
confirmation slips or through quarterly
reports. The fifth requirement calls for
the broker-fiduciary to provide an
annual summary of the transactions.
The annual summary must contain all
security transaction-related charges
incurred by the plan, the brokerage
placement practices, and a portfolio
turnover ratio.

section 201(c) requires any farm labor

Century Moulding Company Hood
River, OR; Notice of Revised
Determination on Reconsideration
By letter dated June 10, 2005 a
company official requested
administrative reconsideration
regarding the Department’s Negative
Determination Regarding Eligibility to
Apply for Worker Adjustment
Assistance, applicable to the workers of
the subject firm.
The initial investigation resulted in a
negative determination signed on May
24, 2005, was based on the finding that
imports of picture frames did not
contribute importantly to worker
separations at the subject plant and no
shift of production to a foreign source
occurred. The denial notice will soon be
published in the Federal Register.
To support the request for
reconsideration, the company official
supplied additional information. Upon
further review and contact with the
subject firm’s major customer, it was
revealed that the customer significantly
increased its import purchases of
picture frames while decreasing its
purchases from the subject firm during
the relevant period. The imports
accounted for a meaningful portion of
the subject plant’s lost sales and
production. The investigation further
revealed that production and
employment at the subject firm declined
during the relevant time period.
In accordance with section 246 the
Trade Act of 1974 (26 U.S.C. 2813), as
amended, the Department of Labor
herein presents the results of its
investigation regarding certification of
eligibility to apply for alternative trade
adjustment assistance (ATAA) for older
workers.
In order for the Department to issue
a certification of eligibility to apply for
ATAA, the group eligibility
requirements of Section 246 of the
Trade Act must be met. The Department
has determined in this case that the
requirements of section 246 have been
met.
A significant number of workers at the
firm are age 50 or over and possess
skills that are not easily transferable.
Competitive conditions within the
industry are adverse.
Conclusion
After careful review of the additional
facts obtained on reconsideration, I
conclude that increased imports of
