DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Employee Benefits Security
Administration
[Prohibited Transaction Exemption 2025–
01; Exemption Application No. D–12084]
Exemption From Certain Prohibited
Transaction Restrictions Involving
United Brotherhood of Carpenters and
Joiners of America (UBC or the
Applicant) Located in Washington, DC
Employee Benefits Security
Administration, Labor.
ACTION: Notice of exemption.
AGENCY:
This document gives notice of
an individual exemption from certain
prohibited transaction restrictions of the
Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA) and
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the
Code). This exemption permits the
Trustees of the United Brotherhood of
Carpenters Pension Fund (the Plan) to
sell 19.25 acres of improved real
property (the Property) on behalf of the
Plan to the UBC for cash (the Sale).
DATES: The exemption will be in effect
on January 13, 2025.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.
Anna Mpras Vaughan, Office of
Exemption Determinations, Employee
Benefits Security Administration, U.S.
Department of Labor, (202) 693–8565
(this is not a toll-free number).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: UBC
requested an exemption pursuant to
ERISA section 408(a) and Code section
4975(c)(2) and supplemented the
request with certain additional
information (that is collectively, referred
to as the ‘‘Application’’).1 On October 1,
ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
SUMMARY:
1 The procedures that govern the Applicant’s
request for an exemption (the Exemption
Procedures) are set forth in 29 CFR part 2570,
subpart B at 76 FR 66637, 66644 (October 27, 2011).
Although the Applicant’s submission is being
processed under the Exemption Procedures in effect
as of December 27, 2011, the Exemption Procedures
were recently amended at 89 FR 4662, 4691
(January 24, 2024). Effective December 31, 1978,
section 102 of the Reorganization Plan No. 4 of
1978, 5 U.S.C. app. 1 (1996), transferred the
authority of the Secretary of the Treasury to issue
administrative exemptions under the Code section
4975(c)(2) to the Secretary of Labor. Accordingly,
the Department grants this exemption under its sole
authority. Furthermore, references herein to
provisions of Title I of ERISA shall be deemed to
refer to their applicable corresponding provision in
Code section 4975, unless specified otherwise.
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:48 Jan 09, 2025
Jkt 265001
2024, the Department published a notice
of proposed exemption in the Federal
Register (the Proposed Exemption).2
Based on UBC’s representations in its
Application and the administrative
record, the Department has determined
to grant the Proposed Exemption. This
exemption provides only the relief
specified herein and does not provide
relief from violations of any law other
than the prohibited transaction
provisions of ERISA and the Code.
Benefits of the Exemption: The
Department is granting relief based, in
part, on UBC’s representations that the
Plan will receive approximately
$4,317,500 to $4,620,000 more in net
proceeds by selling the property to UBC
than it would receive in a sale to an
unrelated third party. Other expected
benefits to the Plan are described below.
As discussed below, the Department
makes the requisite findings under
ERISA section 408(a) based on the
Applicant’s adherence to all the
exemption’s conditions at all times.
Accordingly, affected parties should be
aware that the conditions incorporated
in this exemption are necessary for the
Department to grant the relief requested
by the Applicant, and that the
Department would not have granted this
exemption without these conditions.
Background
1. The UBC is an international labor
organization with 725 local unions
(UBC Local Unions) and 37 councils
(the UBC Councils). The UBC Local
Unions are chartered by and affiliated
with the UBC and represent the
individual members of the UBC in their
respective geographic area. Each UBC
Council is affiliated with a UBC Local
Union and the various UBC Councils are
affiliated to the UBC by the UBC
Constitution. According to the
Applicant, the UBC Councils are
separate legal entities from the UBC and
the UBC does not control the UBC
Councils that are affiliated with it.
Further, the Applicant states that none
of the trustees appointed by the UBC
Councils are officers of the UBC, and no
agency relationship exists between the
UBC and the UBC Councils.
2. The Plan is a multiemployer
defined benefit pension plan located in
Las Vegas, Nevada.3 The Plan provides
2 89
FR 79953.
Applicant states that the Plan elected to
become a multiemployer plan in accordance with
ERISA section 3(37)(G) and meets the legislative
definition of a multiemployer plan under
3(37)(G)(vi). That section reads, ‘‘(vi) A plan is
described in this clause if it is a plan sponsored by
an organization which is described in section
501(c)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 [26
U.S.C. 501(c)(5)] and exempt from tax under section
501(a) of such Code 1986 [26 U.S.C. 501(a)] and

pension benefits to full-time officers or
representatives employed by a UBC
Local Union, UBC Council, other
designated representatives of a UBC
Local Union or UBC Council, or persons
who are United States residents and are
determined to be representative of, or
professional, management, or
confidential employees of, the UBC.4 As
of December 31, 2022, the Plan had
4,627 participants and as of June 30,
2023, the Plan had approximately
$931,860,235 in assets. According to the
Plan’s annual funding notice issued in
April 2022, the Plan had a funded
percentage of 99.3% as of January 1,
2021.
3. The Plan is sponsored and
administered by a Board of Trustees (the
Board) comprised of up of six (6)
trustees who are current and former
members of the UBC Executive Board
(the UBC Trustees) and five (5) trustees
who are appointed by officers of UBC
Local Unions or UBC Councils (the
Council Trustees).5 The UBC Trustees
and the Council Trustees are referred to
collectively as the ‘‘Trustees.’’ The
Applicant represents that the UBC is an
employee organization whose members
are covered by the Plan and an
employer of employees who are covered
by the Plan; therefore, it is a party in
interest to the Plan pursuant to ERISA
section 3(14)(C) and (D).
The Property
4. The Plan owns the Property
through its wholly-owned limited
liability company, Bermuda Hidden
Well, LLC (Bermuda LLC), that was
incorporated by the Plan on April 19,
2001 in the State of Delaware. Bermuda
LLC was originally formed to hold real
property on behalf of the Plan and is
managed on behalf of the Plan by
Washington Capital Management, Inc.
which was established in Chicago, Illinois, on
August 12, 1881.’’ The United Brotherhood of
Carpenters Pension Fund is sponsored by the UBC,
which is a 501(c)(5) organization, tax exempt under
Code section 501(a), and was established in
Chicago, Illinois, on August 12, 1881.
4 Employees of the Carpenters International
Training Fund, The International LaborManagement Committee for the Floor and Wall
Covering Industry, the UBC National Job Corps
Training Fund, The United Brotherhood of
Carpenters Pension Fund, and the Carpenters
Legislative Improvement Committee may also be
eligible for participation in the Plan.
5 The Applicant represents that, unlike other
multiemployer plans, the Plan is not maintained by
a collective bargaining agreement and, therefore, is
not a ‘‘Taft-Hartley’’ plan, pursuant to Labor
Management Relations Act section 305(c)(5).
Because the Trustees of the Plan are appointed by
either the UBC or UBC Local Unions and UBC
Councils, none of the Trustees could be considered
‘‘employer representatives,’’ which would be
required for the Plan to constitute a Taft-Hartley
multiemployer plan.
