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 3 The PO 00000 Frm 00085 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 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.
