and allegations that led to the
agreement;
(r) Within 60 days after the effective
date of the exemption, TTI, in its
agreements with, or in other written
disclosures provided to Covered Plans,
will clearly and prominently inform
Covered Plan clients of their right to
obtain a copy of the Policies or a
description (Summary Policies) which
accurately summarizes key components
of TTI’s written Policies developed in
connection with this exemption. If the
Policies are thereafter changed, each
Covered Plan client must receive a new
disclosure within 180 days following
the end of the calendar year during
which the Policies were changed. If TTI
meets this disclosure requirement
through Summary Policies, changes to
the Policies shall not result in the
requirement for a new disclosure unless,
as a result of changes to the Policies, the
Summary Policies are no longer
accurate. With respect to this
requirement, the description may be
continuously maintained on a website,
provided that such website link to the
Policies or Summary Policies is clearly
and prominently disclosed to each
Covered Plan;
(s) TTI must provide the Department
with the records necessary to
demonstrate that each condition of this
exemption has been met within 30 days
of a request by the Department; and
(t) All the material facts and
representations set forth in the
Summary of Facts and Representations
are true and accurate at all times.
Effective Date: If the Department
grants this proposed exemption, it
would be in effect for a five-year period
beginning on February 13, 2024, and
ending on February 12, 2029.
Signed at Washington, DC.
