In November 2010, the Department published a proposal to amend its qualified default investment alternative regulation (29 CFR 2550.404c–5) and participant-level disclosure regulation (29 CFR 2550.404a–5). The comment period for the proposal originally closed on January 14, 2011.1 The proposal includes more specific disclosure requirements for TDFs, based on evidence that plan participants and beneficiaries would benefit from additional information concerning these investments. Specifically, the proposal would require an explanation of the TDF’s asset allocation, how the asset allocation will change over time, and the point in time when the TDF will reach its most conservative asset allocation; including a chart, table, or other graphical representation that illustrates such change in asset allocation. The proposal also would require, among other things, information about the relevance of the TDF’s ‘‘target date;’’ any assumptions about participants’ and beneficiaries’ contribution and withdrawal intentions following the target date; and a statement that TDFs do not guarantee adequate retirement income and that participants and beneficiaries may lose money by investing in the TDF, including losses near and following retirement. Additional background and other information are contained in the Supplementary Information published with the proposed amendments.2 Throughout this regulatory initiative, the Department has consulted with the Securities and Exchange Commission (Commission). The Department also specifically requested comment in its proposal on whether the final rule should incorporate any of the elements of a rule proposed by the Commission to address concerns regarding the potential for investor misunderstandings about TDFs.3 In response, a large number of commenters strongly encouraged careful coordination with the Commission to avoid the potential cost and confusion (on the part of plan sponsors and participants and beneficiaries) that could result if the two agencies were to establish inconsistent disclosure requirements. Because of the relationship between the Department’s and the Commission’s regulatory proposals, the Department has continued to consult with Commission staff while working to issue a final rule. As part of its regulatory process, the Commission recently engaged a consultant to conduct investor testing of comprehension and communication issues relating to TDFs. A report presenting the findings of this research on individual investors’ understanding of TDFs and related fund advertisements is publicly available on the Commissions’ Web site.4 To provide interested parties an opportunity to comment on the results of this research and on its regulatory proposal, the Commission recently reopened the comment period for its proposal.5 As the results of this research also may be relevant to the Department’s proposal, and in order to provide all persons who are interested in this research an opportunity to comment on the report, the Department is reopening the comment period before action is taken to finalize regulatory amendments. The Department invites additional comments on the TDF proposal in light of this new research. To avoid unnecessary duplication, the Department encourages parties who submitted comments to the Commission in response to their reopened comment period, and who consider their comments to be similarly relevant to the Department’s review of the abovementioned research, to submit (or reference) such comments, in response to this request, for inclusion in the Department’s public record. Parties also may comment on any other matters that may have an effect on the Department’s proposal. Accordingly, the Department is extending the comment period until July 9, 2012.

Labor (Department) is reopening the period for public comment on 
proposed regulatory amendments to improve the information that is 
disclosed to participants and beneficiaries concerning investments in 
target date or similar funds (TDFs). In November 2010, the Department 
published a proposal to amend its qualified default investment 
alternative regulation (29 CFR 2550.404c-5) and participant-level 
disclosure regulation (29 CFR 2550.404a-5). The comment period for the 
proposal originally closed on January 14, 2011.\1\ The proposal 
includes more specific disclosure requirements for TDFs, based on 
evidence that plan participants and beneficiaries would benefit from 
additional information concerning these investments. Specifically, the 
proposal would require an explanation of the TDF's asset allocation, 
how the asset allocation will change over time, and the point in time 
when the TDF will reach its most conservative asset allocation; 
including a chart, table, or other graphical representation that 
illustrates such change in asset allocation. The proposal also would 
require, among other things, information about the relevance of the 
TDF's ``target date;'' any assumptions about participants' and 
beneficiaries' contribution and withdrawal intentions following the 
target date; and a statement that TDFs do not guarantee adequate 
retirement income and that participants and beneficiaries may lose 
money by investing in the TDF, including losses near and following 
retirement. Additional background and other information are contained 
in the Supplementary Information published with the proposed 
amendments.\2\

    As part of its regulatory process, the Commission recently engaged 
a consultant to conduct investor testing of comprehension and 
communication issues relating to TDFs. A report presenting the findings 
of this research on individual investors' understanding of TDFs and 
related fund advertisements is publicly available on the Commissions'

    As the results of this research also may be relevant to the 
Department's proposal, and in order to provide all persons who are 
interested in this research an opportunity to comment on the report, 
the Department is reopening the comment period before action is taken 
to finalize regulatory amendments. The Department invites additional 
comments on the TDF proposal in light of this new research. To avoid 
unnecessary duplication, the Department encourages parties who 
submitted comments to the Commission in response to their reopened 
comment period, and who consider their comments to be similarly 
relevant to the Department's review of the above-mentioned research, to
