Document Number: 2015-06210
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2015-03-19
Agency: Employee Benefits Security Administration, Department of Labor
This document proposes to amend the Department of Labor's ``participant-level fee disclosure'' regulation by making a technical adjustment to an annual timing requirement. In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this issue of the Federal Register, we are making this same amendment as a direct final rule. If we receive no significant adverse comment, the direct final rule will go into effect and we will not take further action on this proposed rule. If, however, we receive significant adverse comment, we will withdraw the direct final rule and it will not take effect. In that case, we will address all public comments in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. We will not institute a second comment period on this rule. Any parties interested in commenting must do so during this comment period.

Excepted benefits are generally exempt from the requirements that were added to those laws by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act and the Affordable Care Act.
