Regulations 30 CFR 57.22401 sets forth the safety requirements for using a retort to extract oil from shale in underground metal and nonmetal I–A and I–B mines (those that operate in a combustible ore and either liberate methane or have the potential to liberate methane based on the history of the mine or the geological area in which the mine is located).

Trust REIT (or its agent) provide the person who has authority to 
direct acquisition or sale of REIT shares with the most recent 
prospectus, quarterly report, and annual report concerning the Trust 
REIT immediately before an initial investment in the Trust REIT. The 
person with such authority may be, under the terms of the plan, either 
an independent fiduciary or a participant exercising investment rights 
pertaining to his or her individual account under the plan. Updated

subsequently published. The exemption further requires the plan to 
maintain records concerning investments in a Trust REIT, subject to 
appropriate confidentiality procedures, for a period of six years and 
make them available to interested persons including the Department and 
participants and beneficiaries. The confidentiality procedures must be 
designed to protect against the possibility that an employer may exert 
undue influence on participants regarding share-related transactions, 
and the participants and beneficiaries of the plan must be provided 
with a statement describing the confidentiality procedures in place and 
the fiduciary responsible for monitoring these procedures.
