for the proper performance of the

whether the information will have
practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the

methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
(4) Minimize the burden of the

e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses.

Description: Section 404(c) of the
Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974 (ERISA) states that
participants or beneficiaries who can
hold individual accounts under their
pension plans, and who can exercise
control over the assets in their accounts

‘‘as determined in regulations of the
Secretary [of Labor]’’ will not be treated
as fiduciaries of the plan. Moreover, no
other plan fiduciary will be liable for
any loss, or by reason of any breach,
resulting from the participants’ or
beneficiaries exercise of control over
their individual account assets.
The Pension Protection Act (PPA),
Public Law 109–280, amended ERISA
section 404(c) by adding subparagraph
(c)(5)(A). The new subparagraph says
that a participant in an individual
account plan who fails to make
investment elections regarding his or
her account assets will nevertheless be
treated as having exercised control over
those assets so long as the plan provides
appropriate notice (as specified) and
invests the assets ‘‘in accordance with
regulations prescribed by the Secretary
[of Labor].’’ Section 404(c)(5)(A) further
requires the Department of Labor
(Department) to issue corresponding
final regulations within six months after
enactment of the PPA. The PPA was
signed into law on August 17, 2006.
The Department of Labor issued a
final regulation under ERISA section
404(c)(5)(A) offering guidance on the
types of investment vehicles that plans
may choose as their ‘‘qualified default
investment alternative’’(QDIA). The
regulation also outlines two information
collections. First, it implements the
statutory requirement that plans provide
annual notices to participants and
beneficiaries whose account assets
could be invested in a QDIA. Second,
the regulation requires plans to pass
certain pertinent materials they receive
relating to a QDIA to those participants
and beneficiaries with assets invested in
the QDIA as well to provide certain
information on request. The ICRs are
approved under OMB Control Number
1210–0132, which is scheduled to
expire on October 31, 2010.
For additional information, see
related notice published in the Federal
Register on August 23, 2010 (75 FR

Agency: Employee Benefits Security
Administration.
Type of Review: Extension without
change of a currently approved

Relating to Loans to Plan Participants
and Beneficiaries who are Parties in
Interest with Respect to the Plan.

Description: The Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
(ERISA) prohibits a plan fiduciary from
causing the plan to engage in a
transaction if he knows or should know
that such transaction constitutes direct
or indirect loan or extension of credit
between the plan and a party in interest.
ERISA section 408(b)(1) exempts from
this prohibition loans from a plan to
parties in interest who are participants
and beneficiaries of the plan, provided
that certain requirements are satisfied.
In final regulations published in the
Federal Register on July 20, 1989, (54
FR 30520), the Department provided
additional guidance on section
408(b)(1)(C), which requires that loans
be made in accordance with specific
provisions in the plan. This ICR
therefore relates to the provisions plan
documents must include in order for a
plan may make loans to participants.
The ICR is scheduled to expire on
October 31, 2010.
For additional information, see
related notice published in the Federal
Register on August 23, 2010 (75 FR
