**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  The prohibited transaction class exemption applicable to certain transactions between investment companies and employee benefit plans (PTE 77–4) permits an employee benefit plan to purchase and sell shares of an open-end investment company (mutual fund) when a fiduciary with respect to the plan is also the investment advisor for
the mutual fund. There are three basic disclosure requirements incorporated within PTE 77–4. The first requirement is to disclose any redemption fees in the current prospectus of the open-end mutual fund. The second requirement is that, at the time of the purchase or sale of such mutual fund shares, an independent fiduciary receive a copy of the current prospectus issued by the open-end mutual fund and full written disclosure of the investment advisory fees charged to or paid by the plan and the open-end mutual fund to the
investment advisor. The third requirement is that the independent fiduciary (1) be notified of any changes in the fees and (2) give written approval for the plan to purchase or sell affected mutual fund shares or the plan to continue possession of any such mutual fund shares acquired before the fee changes.

The ICR has been classified as a revision, because—pursuant to an advisory opinion request—the DOL interprets the term, prospectus, in PTE
77–4 to include a summary prospectus if the summary prospectus meets revised Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) disclosure provisions for mutual funds, including the Summary Prospectus Rule. See 74 FR 4546 (January 26, 2009). Pursuant to the revised SEC disclosure provisions, mutual funds also are required to send the full prospectus to the investor upon an investor’s request and to provide the full prospectus on-line at a specified
internet site. For additional substantive information about this ICR, see the related notice published in the Federal Register on February 14, 2013 (78 FR 10638).

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 1210–0049. Existing information collection requirements
submitted to the OMB will continue to apply while the ICR undergoes review. Revisions would only take effect under the PRA upon OMB authorization.

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 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– 0049. 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.
