ACTION: Notice of hearing. AGENCY: Notice is hereby given that the Department of Labor and the Department of the Treasury (the ‘‘Agencies’’) will hold a joint hearing to further consider several specific issues relating to lifetime income or other arrangements designed to provide a lifetime stream of income after retirement for participants and beneficiaries in retirement plans. DATES: The hearing will be held on September 14, 2010, and, if necessary, September 15, 2010, beginning at 9 a.m., EST.

Marks, Office of Division Counsel/Associate Chief Counsel (Tax Exempt and Government Entities), Internal Revenue Service, Department of the Treasury, at (202) 622–6090. These are not toll-free numbers. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Agencies published in the Federal Register on February 2, 2010 (75 FR 5253), a request for information (RFI) regarding whether, and, if so, how, by regulation or otherwise, it would be appropriate for them to enhance the retirement security of participants in employer-sponsored retirement plans and in individual retirement arrangements (IRAs) by facilitating access to, and use of, lifetime income or other arrangements designed to provide a lifetime stream of income after retirement. The Agencies received approximately 780 comments in response to the RFI. The RFI posed several questions on a broad range of topics designed to help the Agencies assess the issues relating to the shift from defined benefit plans that offer employees lifetime annuities to defined contribution plans that typically distribute retirement savings in a lump sum payment. With the continuing trend away from traditional defined benefit plans to defined contribution plans and hybrid plans, including the associated trend away from annuities toward lump sum distributions, employees are not only increasingly responsible for the adequacy of their savings at the time of retirement, but also for ensuring that their savings last throughout their retirement years and, in many cases, the remaining lifetimes of their spouses and dependents. Following a careful review of all the comments received in response to the RFI, the Agencies have decided to conduct a limited public hearing for the purpose of further considering and gathering further information on a few discrete issues and proposals raised or presented in RFI submissions. In this regard, the scope of the public hearing will be limited to testimony and questions relating to the following specific issues: 1. Certain Specific Participant Concerns Affecting the Choice of Lifetime Income Relative to Other Options.
