with Kongsberg to provide modeling
and training services unduly restricts
the operations of the S&E Plan. By
providing the Services, the S&E Plan
would be able to develop hydrodynamic
and geographic models that will
improve the overall quality of maritime
officers and increase safety in the
operation of marine vessels, thus
furthering the purposes of the S&E Plan,
and would be able to increase the level
of expertise in the application of
modeling tools and techniques by the
S&E Plan, thus expanding the training
opportunities for S&E Plan participants,
many of whom are employed on vessels
assigned to areas of conflict overseas.
Many S&E Plan participants serve on
vessels engaged in the transportation
and supply of cargo to troops stationed
in conflicts around the world. Finally,
the revenue received by the STAR
Center from the Services will help offset
operating costs of the STAR Center.
This, in turn, will allow the S&E Plan
to provide expanded services to plan
participants without increasing
contribution levels.
7. To ensure that the interests of the
S&E Plan and their participants are well
protected, the S&E Plan has retained
Bond Beebe C.P.A. (Bond Beebe) as
outside auditors to perform the annual
audit of the Services. Bond Beebe will
perform annual audits of the S&E Plan
to identify and reconcile any
recordkeeping discrepancies involving
the Services.
8. In summary, the applicant
represents that the proposed transaction
satisfies the statutory criteria for an
exemption under section 408(a) of the
Act for the following reasons: (a) The
S&E Plan will charge and will be paid
for the Services at the rates approved by
the Trustees for similar services
provided to unrelated third parties; (b)
The terms of the arrangement between
the S&E Plan and Kongsberg are at least
as favorable to the S&E Plan as those
obtainable in an arm’s length
transaction with an unrelated party; (c)
An independent auditor will perform
annual audits of the S&E Plan to
identify and reconcile any
recordkeeping discrepancies involving
the Services; and (d) The S&E Plan will
maintain, for a period of six (6) years,
the records necessary to determine
whether the conditions of this
exemption have been met.
Notice to Interested Persons
Notice to Interested Parties: Notice of
the proposed exemption shall be given
to all interested persons in the manner

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
The attention of interested persons is
directed to the following:
(1) The fact that a transaction is the
subject of an exemption under section
408(a) of the Act and/or section
4975(c)(2) of the Code does not relieve
a fiduciary or other party in interest or
disqualified person from certain other
provisions of the Act and/or the Code,
including any prohibited transaction
provisions to which the exemption does
not apply and the general fiduciary
responsibility provisions of section 404
of the Act, which, among other things,
require a fiduciary to discharge his
duties respecting the plan solely in the
interest of the participants and
beneficiaries of the plan and in a
prudent fashion in accordance with
section 404(a)(1)(b) of the Act; nor does
it affect the requirement of section
401(a) of the Code that the plan must
operate for the exclusive benefit of the
employees of the employer maintaining
the plan and their beneficiaries;
(2) Before an exemption may be
granted under section 408(a) of the Act
and/or section 4975(c)(2) of the Code,
the Department must find that the
exemption is administratively feasible,
in the interests of the plan and of its
participants and beneficiaries, and
protective of the rights of participants
and beneficiaries of the plan;
(3) The proposed exemptions, if
granted, will be supplemental to, and
not in derogation of, any other
provisions of the Act and/or the Code,
including statutory or administrative
exemptions and transitional rules.
Furthermore, the fact that a transaction
is subject to an administrative or
statutory exemption is not dispositive of
whether the transaction is in fact a
prohibited transaction; and
(4) The proposed exemptions, if
granted, will be subject to the express
condition that the material facts and
representations contained in each
application are true and complete, and
that each application accurately
describes all material terms of the
transaction which is the subject of the
exemption.

ACTION: Notice of availability of
proposed records schedules; request for

rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The National Archives and
Records Administration (NARA)
publishes notice at least once monthly
of certain Federal agency requests for
records disposition authority (records
schedules). Once approved by NARA,
records schedules provide mandatory
instructions on what happens to records
when no longer needed for current
Government business. They authorize
the preservation of records of
continuing value in the National
Archives of the United States and the
destruction, after a specified period, of
records lacking administrative, legal,
research, or other value. Notice is
published for records schedules in
which agencies propose to destroy
records not previously authorized for
disposal or reduce the retention period
of records already authorized for
disposal. NARA invites public
comments on such records schedules, as
required by 44 U.S.C. 3303a(a).

Each year
Federal agencies create billions of
records on paper, film, magnetic tape,
and other media. To control this
accumulation, agency records managers
prepare schedules proposing retention
periods for records and submit these
schedules for NARA’s approval, using
the Standard Form (SF) 115, Request for
Records Disposition Authority. These
schedules provide for the timely transfer
into the National Archives of
historically valuable records and
authorize the disposal of all other
records after the agency no longer needs
them to conduct its business. Some
schedules are comprehensive and cover
all the records of an agency or one of its
major subdivisions. Most schedules,
however, cover records of only one
office or program or a few series of
records. Many of these update
previously approved schedules, and
some include records proposed as
permanent.
No Federal records are authorized for
destruction without the approval of the
Archivist of the United States. This
approval is granted only after a
thorough consideration of their
administrative use by the agency of
origin, the rights of the Government and
of private persons directly affected by
the Government’s activities, and
whether or not they have historical or
other value.
Besides identifying the Federal
agencies and any subdivisions
requesting disposition authority, this
public notice lists the organizational

Requests for copies must be
received in writing on or before May 30,
2007 (Note that the new time period for
requesting copies has changed from 45
to 30 days after publication). Once the
appraisal of the records is completed,
NARA will send a copy of the schedule.
NARA staff usually prepare appraisal
memorandums that contain additional
information concerning the records
covered by a proposed schedule. These,
too, may be requested and will be
provided once the appraisal is
completed. Requesters will be given 30
days to submit comments.

any records schedule identified in this

indicate in their request.
