1 The Department has considered exemption applications received prior to December 27, 2011 under the exemption procedures set forth in 29 CFR Part 2570, Subpart B (55 FR 32836, 32847, August 10, 1990). (1) 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;

(2) 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;

(3) Enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and

(4) 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.

Overview of this information
collection:

(1) Type of information collection:
New collection under activities related
to the National Crime Victimization Survey Redesign Research (NCVS–RR) program: Methodological Research to Support the National Crime Victimization Survey: Self-Report Data on Rape and Sexual Assault—Pilot Test.

(2) Title of the Form/Collection: National Survey on Health and Safety (NSHS).

(3) Agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the department sponsoring the collection: NSHS1; NSHS2; NSHS3; and NSHS4, Bureau of Justice Statistics, Office of Justice Programs, Department of Justice.

(4) Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as well as a brief abstract. Primary: Females ages 18 or
older in 5 Core Based Statistical Areas (CBSAs) in the United States. These
CBSAs include—

• New York-Northern New JerseyLong Island, NY–NJ–PA;

• Los Angeles-Long Beach-Santa Ana,
CA;

• Miami-Fort Lauderdale-Pompano Beach, FL;

• Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington-TX;
and

• Phoenix-Mesa-Glendale, AZ. The NSHS will test alternative survey methods for measuring rape and sexual assault and develop improved collection procedures for these crimes.

(5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of time estimated for an average respondent to respond/reply:

• Approximately 50 victim service agencies, and 100 universities and colleges will be contacted to serve as liaisons between potential respondents about the survey. The average length of contact with these agencies is approximately 120 minutes per agency
for a total of 300 burden hours.

18 or older will be interviewed for eligibility in the NSHS. The majority of respondents, approximately 17,968 (93%), will be administered only the screening portion of the NSHS which is designed to filter out those females who have not experienced rape or sexual assault. The expected burden placed on these respondents is 18 minutes per respondent for a total of 5,796 burden
hours.

• The complement of this group of respondents will be 1,352 (7%) identified victims of rape or sexual assault. The expected burden placed on these respondents is 15 minutes for a
total of 338 burden hours.

**SUMMARY :**  This document contains exemptions issued by the Department of Labor (the Department) from certain of the prohibited transaction restrictions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA or the Act)
and/or the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the Code). This notice includes the following: 2013–10, UBS AG and Its Current and Future Affiliates and Subsidiaries, D–11506; 2013–11, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., D–11640; 2013–12, Sears Holding Savings Plan, Sears Holdings Puerto Rico Savings Plan and the Lands’ End, Inc.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  A notice was published in the Federal Register of the pendency before the Department of a proposal to grant such exemption. The notice set forth a summary of facts and representations contained in the application for exemption and referred interested persons to the application for a complete statement of the facts and representations. The application has been available for public inspection at the Department in Washington, DC The notice also invited interested persons to submit comments on the requested exemption to the Department. In addition the notice stated that any interested person might submit a written request that a public hearing be held (where appropriate). The applicant has represented that it has complied with the requirements of the notification to interested persons. No requests for a hearing were received by the Department. Public comments were received by the Department as described in the granted exemption.

The notice of proposed exemption was issued and the exemption is being granted solely by the Department because, effective December 31, 1978, section 102 of Reorganization Plan No. 4 of 1978, 5 U.S.C. App. 1 (1996), transferred the authority of the Secretary of the Treasury to issue exemptions of the type proposed to the Secretary of
Labor.

Statutory Findings

In accordance with section 408(a) of the Act and/or section 4975(c)(2) of the Code and the procedures set forth in 29 CFR Part 2570, Subpart B (76 FR 66637, 66644, October 27, 2011) 1 and based upon the entire record, the Department makes the following findings:

(a) The exemption is administratively feasible;

(b) The exemption is in the interests of the plan and its participants and beneficiaries; and


### 66956 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 216 / Thursday, November 7, 2013 / Notices

2 This exemption does not address tax issues. The Department has been informed by the Internal Revenue Service and the Department of the Treasury that they are considering providing limited relief from the requirements of sections 72(t)(4), 401(a)(9), and 4974 of the Code with respect to retirement plans that hold Auction Rate Securities. The Department has also been informed by the Internal Revenue Service that if Auction Rate Securities are purchased from a Plan in a transaction described in sections I and III at a price

that exceeds the fair market value of those securities, then the excess value would be treated as a contribution for purposes of applying applicable contribution and deduction limits under sections 219, 404, 408, and 415 of the Code.

3 The Department notes that the Act’s general standards of fiduciary conduct also would apply to the transactions described herein. In this regard, section 404 requires, among other things, that a fiduciary discharge his duties respecting a plan solely in the interest of the plan’s participants and beneficiaries and in a prudent manner. Accordingly, a plan fiduciary must act prudently with respect to, among other things, the decision to sell the Auction Rate Security to UBS for the par value of the Auction Rate Security, plus any accrued but unpaid interest or dividends. The Department further emphasizes that it expects Plan fiduciaries, prior to entering into any of the proposed transactions, to fully understand the risks associated with this type of transaction following disclosure by UBS of all relevant information. (c) The exemption is protective of the rights of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan.

For a more complete statement of the facts and representations supporting the Department’s decision to grant this exemption, refer to the notice of proposed exemption published on July
22, 2013, at 78 FR 43930.

Written Comments

During the comment period, the Department received one written comment (the Comment) from UBS with respect to the notice of proposed exemption (the Proposed Exemption) and no requests for a public hearing. The Comment is intended to clarify certain requirements in sections III and IV of the Proposed Exemption. UBS’s Comment and the Department’s responses are described below.

1. Section III Requirement that the
Conditions in Section IV Be Met. UBS believes that the proviso at the end of Section III(c) of the Proposed Exemption (on page 43932), which reads, ‘‘provided that the conditions set forth in Section IV below are met,’’ may be understood in that context to require that the conditions of Section IV apply only to the transactions described in Section III(c), rather than to each of the three types of transactions described in Section III. Therefore, in order to clarify
that all transactions described in
Section III must meet the conditions set
forth in Section IV in order to be covered by the Proposed Exemption, UBS requests: (i) that certain language in Section III, which reads, ‘‘If the proposed exemption is granted, the restrictions of section 406(a)(1)(A) and (D) and section 406(b)(1) and (2) of ERISA and the taxes imposed by section 4975 of the Code, by reason of section 4975(c)(1)(A), (D) and (E) of the Code, shall not apply, effective February 1, 2008, to the following transactions’’ be revised to read, ‘‘If the proposed exemption is granted, the restrictions of section 406(a)(1)(A) and (D) and section 406(b)(1) and (2) of ERISA and the taxes imposed by section 4975 of the Code, by reason of section 4975(c)(1)(A), (D) and (E) of the Code, shall not apply, effective February 1, 2008, to the transactions
described herein if the conditions set forth in Section IV are met’’ and (ii) that the aforementioned proviso in Section III(c) be removed.

In response to this comment, the Department has made the requested revisions in order to clarify that the conditions of Section IV apply to all of
the transactions described in Section III.

2. Notice Requirement in Section IV(b). UBS reads the condition in Section IV(b) of the Proposed Exemption, as currently written, to require that notice of the ARS Rights
Offer be sent to all Plans as defined in Section V of the Proposed Exemption. As the provision relates to ARS Rights under particular Settlement Agreements, UBS suggests that it would be more accurate to require that the notice be sent to all plans as required by the applicable Settlement Agreements. Accordingly, UBS requests that the first sentence in Section IV(b), which reads, ‘‘UBS sends notice of the ARS Rights Offer to the Plans, including an explanatory cover letter and prospectus for the ARS Rights under the Securities Act of 1933 (the Securities Act), as amended’’ be revised to read, ‘‘UBS sends notice of the ARS Rights Offer to the plans identified in the applicable Settlement Agreement, including an explanatory cover letter and prospectus for the ARS Rights under the Securities Act of 1933 (the Securities Act), as
amended.’’

In response to this comment, the Department has made the requested revision to Section IV(b) of the Proposed Exemption to clarify the meaning of this condition and to avoid any implication that notice must be sent to any plans
other than those identified under the terms of the applicable Settlement Agreement.

Accordingly, after giving full consideration to the entire record, including the Comment, the Department has determined to grant the exemption
as modified herein.

For further information regarding the
Comment and other matters discussed herein, Interested Persons are encouraged to obtain copies of the exemption application file (Exemption Application No. D–11506) the Department is maintaining in this case. The complete application file, as well as all supplemental submissions received by the Department, are made available for public inspection in the Public Disclosure Room of the Employee Benefits Security Administration, Room N–1513, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue NW., Washington,

DC 20210.

In the Notice of Proposed Exemption (the Notice), the Department invited all interested persons to submit written comments and requests for a hearing within forty-five (45) days of the date of the publication of the Notice in the Federal Register on July 9, 2013. All comments and requests for a hearing were due initially by August 23, 2013. With the Department’s permission, the comment period was extended to September 6, 2013, to allow Holdings (the Applicant) additional time to ascertain the appropriate method of providing notice to a group of employees whose addresses had previously generated return mail to the Applicant.

During the comment period, the Department received no requests for hearing. The Department did receive approximately forty-nine (49) telephone calls from interested persons, none of
which raised substantive issues with respect to the transactions that are the subject of this exemption.

The only written comment received by the Department during the comment period was submitted by the Applicant. The comment letter, dated September 6, 2013, incorporated comments from the I/F, Evercore Trust Company, N.A.

Also, the Applicant states that the number of participants listed in Representations 2, 3, and 4 of the Notice represents the number of participants in each plan holding employer stock as of the Record Date, rather than the number of participants in each plan.

3. The PR Plan. With respect to Representation 3 of the Notice, the Applicant wishes to clarify that while the PR Plan is now sponsored and maintained by Holdings, it was originally established by Sears Roebuck, covers employees of Sears Roebuck and Kmart Corporation residing in Puerto Rico and was created by the merger of the prior Kmart Retirement Savings Plan for Puerto Rico Employees into the prior Sears Puerto Rico Savings Plan, as of March 31, 2012. In addition, the Applicant requests the following changes to Representation 3 of the

‘‘106,444,571.’’

9. Depository Trust Company (DTC) Interim Trading. The Applicant wishes to clarify that in Representation 11, the DTC established an interim ‘‘trading’’ period, rather than an interim ‘‘tracing’’ period for the Rights. Further, the Applicant indicates that the report from the I/F states that this interim trading period continued through September 17, 2012, rather than September 16, 2012.

that OSHA consult with ACCSH before the Agency proposes any occupational safety and health standard affecting construction activities (29 CFR 1911.10; 40 U.S.C. 3704).
