Description: The Department of
Labor’s (the Department’s) regulation at
29 CFR 2510.3–102 states that monies
that a participant pays to, or has
withheld by, an employer for
contribution to an employee benefit
plan become ‘‘plan assets’’ for purposes
of Title I of Employee Retirement
Income Security Act (ERISA) and the
related prohibited transaction
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code
as of the earliest date on which such
monies can be reasonably segregated
from the employer’s general assets. With
respect to employee pension benefit
plans, the regulation further sets a
maximum time limit for such
contributions: the 15th business day
following the end of the month in which
the participant contribution amounts are
received or withheld by the employer.
Under ERISA, ‘‘plan assets’’ cannot be
held by the employer as part of its
general assets, but must be contributed
to the employee benefit plan to which
they belong and, with few exceptions,
held in trust.
The regulation includes a procedure
through which an employer receiving or
withholding participant contributions
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 208001
for an employee pension benefit plan
may obtain a 10-business-day extension
of the 15-day maximum time period if
certain requirements, including
information collection requirements, are
met. The regulation requires, among
other things, that the employer provide
written notice to plan participants,
within 5 business days after the end of
the extension period and the employer’s
transfer of the contributions to the plan,
that the employer elected to take the
extension for that month. The notice
must explain why the employer could
not transfer the participant
contributions within the maximum time
period, state that the participant
contributions in question have in fact
been transmitted to the plan, and
provide the date on which this was
done. The employer must also provide
a copy of the participant notice to the
Secretary, along with a certification that
the notice was distributed to
participants and that the other
requirements under the extension
procedure were met, within 5 business
days after the end of the extension
period.
The information collections imposed
under the regulation include third-party
disclosures and disclosures to the
government. The information collection
is intended to protect participants by
ensuring that they and the Department
are aware of an employer’s failure to
meet the regulatory time limits for
transferring participant contributions to
the employee pension benefit plan they
are intended to fund. The Department
and the affected participants can then
take appropriate action to protect the
plan assets. Requiring employers to
make the disclosures also ensures that
they follow the protective requirements
that are part of the extension procedure.

Departmental Clearance Officer.

Description: The Department of Labor's (the Department's)
regulation at 29 CFR 2510.3-102 states that monies that a participant
pays to, or has withheld by, an employer for contribution to an
employee benefit plan become ``plan assets'' for purposes of Title I of
Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) and the related
prohibited transaction provisions of the Internal Revenue Code as of
the earliest date on which such monies can be reasonably segregated
from the employer's general assets. With respect to employee pension
benefit plans, the regulation further sets a maximum time limit for
such contributions: the 15th business day following the end of the
month in which the participant contribution amounts are received or
withheld by the employer. Under ERISA, ``plan assets'' cannot be held
by the employer as part of its general assets, but must be contributed
to the employee benefit plan to which they belong and, with few
exceptions, held in trust.
The regulation includes a procedure through which an employer
receiving or withholding participant contributions for an employee
pension benefit plan may obtain a 10-business-day extension of the 15-
day maximum time period if certain requirements, including information
collection requirements, are met. The regulation requires, among other
things, that the employer provide written notice to plan participants,
within 5 business days after the end of the extension period and the
employer's transfer of the contributions to the plan, that the employer
elected to take the extension for that month. The notice must explain
why the employer could not transfer the participant contributions
within the maximum time period, state that the participant
contributions in question have in fact been transmitted to the plan,
and provide the date on which this was done. The employer must also
provide a copy of the participant notice to the Secretary, along with a
certification that the notice was distributed to participants and that
the other requirements under the extension procedure were met, within 5
business days after the end of the extension period.
The information collections imposed under the regulation include
third-party disclosures and disclosures to the government. The
information collection is intended to protect participants by ensuring
that they and the Department are aware of an employer's failure to meet
the regulatory time limits for transferring participant contributions
to the employee pension benefit plan they are intended to fund. The
Department and the affected participants can then take appropriate
action to protect the plan assets. Requiring employers to make the
disclosures also ensures that they follow the protective requirements
that are part of the extension procedure.
