Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3507(a)(1)(D).

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  This ICR seeks to extend PRA authority for the information collection requirements in Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) Prohibited Transaction Exemption (PTE) 1986–128, which applies to securities transactions involving an employee benefit plan and a broker-dealer. PTE 1986–128 permits a person who serves as fiduciary for an employee benefit plan to effect or
execute securities transactions on behalf of the employee benefit plan. The PTE also allows sponsors of pooled separate accounts and other pooled investment
funds to use their affiliates to effect or
execute securities transactions for such accounts in order to recapture brokerage commissions for the benefit of employee benefit plans whose assets are maintained in pooled separate accounts managed by insurance companies. This exemption provides relief from certain prohibitions in ERISA section 406(b) ( see 29 U.S.C. 1106(b)) and from the taxes imposed by Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (Code) section 4975(a) and (b) by reason of Code section 4975(c)(1)(E) or (F) (see 26 U.S.C. 4975(a), (b), and (c)(1)(E) and (F)).

PTE 1986–128 section III imposes the following information collection requirements on a fiduciary of an employee benefit plan that effects or executes securities transactions ( i.e., a broker-dealer) and the independent plan fiduciary authorizing the plan to engage
in the transactions with the brokerdealer ( i.e., an authorizing fiduciary)
under the conditions contained in the exemption: (1) The authorizing plan fiduciary must provide the broker-dealer
with an advance written authorizationfor the transactions; (2) the brokerdealer must provide the authorizing fiduciary with information necessary to
determine whether an authorization should be made, including a copy of the exemption, a form for termination, a description of the broker-dealer’s brokerage placement practices, and any other reasonably available information regarding the matter that the authorizing fiduciary requests; (3) the broker-dealer must provide the authorizing fiduciary with a termination form, at least annually, explaining that the authorization is terminable at will, without penalty to the plan, and that
failure to return the form will result in
continued authorization for the brokerdealer to engage in securities transactions on behalf of the plan; (4) the broker-dealer must provide the authorizing fiduciary with either (a) a confirmation slip for each individual securities transaction within ten (10) days of the transaction containing the information described in regulations 17 CFR 240.10b–10, or (b) a quarterly report containing certain financial information including the total of all transaction-related charges incurred by the plan; (5) the broker-dealer must provide the authorizing fiduciary with an annual summary of the confirmation slips or quarterly reports, containing all security transaction-related charges, the brokerage placement practices (if changed), and a portfolio turnover ratio; and (6) a broker-dealer who is a discretionary plan trustee must provide the authorizing fiduciary with an annual report showing separately the commissions paid to affiliated brokers and non-affiliated brokers, on both a total dollar basis and a cents-per-share basis. These requirements are designed as appropriate safeguards to ensure protection of plan assets involved in the transactions, which, in the absence of the class exemption, would not be permitted. These safeguards rely on the prior authorization and monitoring of the broker-fiduciary’s activities by a second plan fiduciary that is independent of the first. This information collection is authorized by

ERISA section 408. See 29 U.S.C. 1108.

This information collection is subject to the PRA. A Federal agency generally cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information, and the public is generally not required to respond to an information collection, unless it is approved by the OMB under the PRA and displays a currently valid OMB Control Number. In addition, notwithstanding any other provisions of law, no person shall generally be subject to penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information that does not display a valid Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL obtains OMB approval for this
information collection under Control
Number 1210–0059.

OMB authorization for an ICR cannot be for more than three (3) years without renewal, and the current approval for this collection is scheduled to expire on January 31, 2015. The DOL seeks to
extend PRA authorization for this information collection for three (3) more years, without any change to existing requirements. The DOL notes that existing information collection requirements submitted to the OMB
receive a month-to-month extension while they undergo review. For
additional substantive information about this ICR, see the related notice published in the Federal Register on October 15, 2014 (79 FR 61903).

Interested parties are encouraged to send comments to the OMB, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs at
the address shown in the **ADDRESSES** section within thirty (30) days of publication of this notice in the Federal Register . In order to help ensure appropriate consideration, comments
should mention OMB Control Number 1210–0059. The OMB is particularly
interested in comments that:

• Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have practical utility;

• Evaluate the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used;

• Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and

• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology,

e.g., permitting electronic submission of

responses.

Standards information collection requirements codified in regulations 29 CFR part 1915.
