of their right to forward their comments
to such office.
• Pre-Approval. A copy of the notice
and a description of the method by
which it will be distributed must be
approved in advance by the regional or
district office of the Department that
negotiated the settlement.
PTE 03–39. Granted on December 31,
2005, PTE 03–39 exempts from certain
restrictions of ERISA and certain taxes
imposed by the Code, transactions
arising out of the settlement of litigation
that involve the release of claims against
parties in interest in exchange for
payment by or on behalf of the party in
interest, provided that certain
conditions are met, including the
following information collections:
• Written Agreement. The terms of
the settlement must be specifically
described in a written agreement or
consent decree. Because it is usual and
customary business practice to reduce
the terms of a settlement agreement to
writing, there is no additional burden
associated with this requirement.
• Acknowledgement by Fiduciary.
The fiduciary acting on behalf of the
plan must acknowledge in writing that
s/he is a fiduciary with respect to the
settlement of the litigation. It is
anticipated that this acknowledgement
will be included in the written
investment management or trustee
agreement outlining the terms and
conditions of the fiduciary’s retention as
a plan service provider. Therefore, no
measurable burden is attached to this
requirement.

Description: Public Law 108–218
amended section 101(f) of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
(ERISA) to require plan administrators
of a defined benefit plan which is a
multiemployer plan to each plan year
furnish a plan funding notice to each
plan participant and beneficiary, to each
labor organization representing such
participants or beneficiaries, to each
employer that has an obligation to
contribute under the plan, and to the
Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation.
In August 2006, section 501(a) of the
Pension Protection Act of 2006 (PPA)
expanded the annual notice requirement
to single-employer defined benefit
plans. Section 501(c) of the PPA directs
PO 00000
Frm 00095
Fmt 4703

21405
the Department to publish a model of
the notice required by section 101(f) of
ERISA, as amended, not later than one
year after the date of enactment of the
PPA.
Recently, concerns have been
expressed about the imminent
compliance date of the new annual
funding notice requirements, the
absence of regulatory guidance from the
Department, and the cost and burdens
attendant to annual funding notice
compliance efforts prior to the adoption
of annual funding notice regulations
and the issuance of model annual
funding notices by the Department. In
recognition of the foregoing, on
February 10, 2009, the Department
issued a Field Assistance Bulletin 2009–
1 (the FAB) concerning the disclosure
requirements mandated by the PPA,
which provides model notices. The FAB
addresses the need for interim guidance
pending the adoption of regulations or
other guidance under section 101(f) of
ERISA by providing that pending
further guidance, the Department will,
as a matter of enforcement policy, treat
a plan administrator as satisfying the
requirements of section 101(f), if the
administrator complies with the
guidance contained in the FAB (and
appropriately uses a completed model
notice) and has acted in accordance
with a good faith, reasonable
interpretation of those requirements
with respect to matters not specifically
addressed in the FAB.
The Department is revising its
information collection under OMB
Control Number 1210–0126 to reflect
the issuance of the FAB at this time. For
additional information, see related
notices published at Vol. 73 FR 70676
on November 21, 2008 and 74 FR 7489
