Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board June 2005 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Executive Director of the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board (Board) is amending the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) regulations to accommodate new TSP lifecycle investment allocation funds, eliminate references to open seasons (which Congress repealed), and to require participants to file all death benefit beneficiary designation forms with the TSP record keeper. The Executive Director is also removing obsolete and unhelpful provisions from the regulations, eliminating references to TSP form numbers, notifying TSP participants of a new mailing address for loan payments, and otherwise making the regulations easier to understand.
