their systems of records in the Federal

SUMMARY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 241001
Register when there is a revision,
change, or addition, or when the agency
establishes a new system of records. The
Postal ServiceTM has determined that
one General Privacy Act System of
Records (SOR) should be revised to
modify Categories of Records in the
System, Purpose(s), Routine Uses of
Records Maintained in the System,
Including Categories of Users and the
Purposes of Such Uses, along with
Retention and Disposal.
The Postal Service is proposing
modifications to SOR 100.400 to reflect
a new benefit to allow employees, who
voluntarily elect to be able to
automatically upload information from
their individual W–2 and 1095–C forms
directly to a third-party tax preparation
service. Employee tax information, such
as their Form W–2, Wage and Tax
Statement and Form 1095–C, EmployerProvided Health Insurance Offer and
Coverage information, will remain
securely safeguarded within USPS
computer information systems and only
uploaded to third-party tax preparation
services upon voluntary request and
consent of the individual employee.
Uploading this information in a tax
preparation service is considered an
Internal Revenue Service (IRS) best
practice. This will save employees from
having to enter the information
manually, providing convenience and
reducing the risk of potential keying
errors. Therefore, the SOR is being
revised to include an appropriate
purpose, routine use for the transfer of
tax information, and retention of the
employee tax information. In addition,
other updates are included to account
for separate administrative changes,
which include the collection of
employee’s ACE ID for computer access
in the Time and Attendance System for
employees entering payroll information.
Similarly, Retention and Disposal times
are being updated to more accurately
reflect record retention for monetary
awards, ideas submitted by employees
under the formal ideas program, and for
overtime administrative records.
Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(11),
interested persons are invited to submit
written data, views, or arguments on
this proposal. A report of the proposed
modifications has been sent to Congress
and to the Office of Management and
Budget for their evaluations. The Postal
Service does not expect this amended
system of records to have any adverse
effect on individual privacy rights.
Accordingly, for the reasons stated,
the Postal Service proposes changes in
the existing system of records as
follows:

Summary of the Application
1. The Advisor will serve as the
investment adviser to the Subadvised
Series pursuant to an investment
advisory agreement with the Trust (each
an ‘‘Investment Management
Agreement’’).1 The Advisor will provide
the Subadvised Series with continuous
and comprehensive investment
management services subject to the
supervision of, and policies established
by, each board of trustees of the Trust
(‘‘Board’’). The Investment Management
Agreement permits the Advisor, subject
to the approval of the Board, to delegate
to one or more sub-advisers (each, a
‘‘Sub-Advisor’’ and collectively, the
‘‘Sub-Advisors’’) the responsibility to
provide the day-to-day portfolio
1 Applicants request relief with respect to any
existing and any future series of the Trust and any
other existing or future registered open-end
management company or series thereof that intends
to rely on the requested order in the future and that:
(a) Is advised by BAIA or its successor or by any
entity controlling, controlled by, or under common
control with BAIA or its successor (each, also an
‘‘Advisor’’); (b) uses the multi-managers structure
described in the application; and (c) complies with
the terms and conditions of the application (any
such series, a ‘‘Subadvised Series’’). For purposes
of the requested order, ‘‘successor’’ is limited to an
entity that results from a reorganization into
another jurisdiction or a change in the type of
business organization.

investment management of each
Subadvised Series, subject to the
supervision and direction of the
Advisor. The primary responsibility for
managing the Subadvised Series will
remain vested in the Advisor. The
Advisor will hire, evaluate, allocate
assets to and oversee the Sub-Advisors,
including determining whether a SubAdvisor should be terminated, at all
times subject to the authority of the
Board.
2. Applicants request an exemption to
permit the Advisor, subject to Board
approval, to hire certain Sub-Advisors
pursuant to Sub-Advisory Agreements
and materially amend existing SubAdvisory Agreements without obtaining
the shareholder approval required under
section 15(a) of the Act and rule 18f–2
under the Act.2 Applicants also seek an
exemption from the Disclosure
Requirements to permit a Subadvised
Series to disclose (as both a dollar
amount and a percentage of the
Subadvised Series’s net assets): (a) The
aggregate fees paid to the Advisor and
any Wholly-Owned Sub-Advisors; (b)
the aggregate fees paid to Sub-Advisors
other than Affiliated Sub-Advisors and
(c) the aggregate fees paid to any
Affiliated Sub-Advisor (collectively,
‘‘Aggregate Fee Disclosure’’).
3. Applicants agree that any order
granting the requested relief will be
subject to the terms and conditions
stated in the Application. Such terms
and conditions provide for, among other
safeguards, appropriate disclosure to
Subadvised Series shareholders and
notification about sub-advisory changes
and enhanced Board oversight to protect
the interests of the Subadvised Series’
shareholders.
4. Section 6(c) of the Act provides that
the Commission may exempt any
person, security, or transaction or any
class or classes of persons, securities, or
transactions from any provisions of the
Act, or any rule thereunder, if such
relief is necessary or appropriate in the
public interest and consistent with the
protection of investors and purposes
fairly intended by the policy and
provisions of the Act. Applicants
believe that the requested relief meets
this standard because, as further
explained in the Application, the
Investment Management Agreements
will remain subject to shareholder
approval, while the role of the SubAdvisors is substantially similar to that
2 The requested relief will not extend to any SubAdvisor, other than a Wholly-Owned Sub-Advisor,
that is an affiliated person, as defined in section
2(a)(3) of the Act, of a Subadvised Series or the
Advisor, other than by reason of serving as a subadviser to one or more of the Subadvised Series
(‘‘Affiliated Sub-Advisor’’).
