**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  States use the Multiple Worksite Report to collectemployment and wages data from nonFederal businesses engaged in multiple operations within a State and subject to State Unemployment Insurance laws. The Report of Federal Employment and Wages is designed for Federal
establishments covered under the Unemployment Compensation for Federal Employees program. These data are used for sampling, benchmarking, and economic analysis.

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 1220–0134. The current approval is scheduled to expire on May 31, 2013; however, it should be noted that existing information collection requirements submitted to the OMB
receive a month-to-month extension while they undergo review. For additional information, see the related notice published in the Federal Register on December 19, 2012 (77 FR 75198).

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 1220– 0198. 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.

### 19316 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 61 / Friday, March 29, 2013 / Notices

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). 2 71 FR 20262 (April 19, 2006). 3 67 FR 70623 (Nov. 25, 2002), as amended, 71 FR 20135 (April 19, 2006). **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

(c) The exemption is protective of the rights of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan.

UBS Financial Services Inc. Located in Weehawken, New Jersey

[Prohibited Transaction Exemption 2013–01; Exemption Application No. D–11610]

Exemption

Section I: Covered Transactions

The sanctions resulting from the application of Code section 4975, by reason of Code section 4975(c)(1)(A) and (D)–(E), shall not apply, effective January 4, 2002, until December 9, 2005, to (1) principal trades by UBS Financial Services Inc. (the Applicant) with certain plans, subject to Code section 4975, but not subject to Title I of ERISA (the IRAs), which resulted in the IRAs purchasing or selling securities from the Applicant (collectively, the Transactions); and (2) compensation paid by the IRAs to the Applicant in connection with the Transactions (the Transaction Compensation).

This exemption is subject to the
conditions set forth below in Sections II
and III.

Section II: Specific Conditions

(a) The Transactions and the Transaction Compensation were corrected (1) pursuant to the requirements set forth in the Department’s Voluntary Fiduciary Correction Program (the VFC Program) 2 and (2) in a manner consistent with
those transactions described in the Applicant’s VFC Program application, dated March 5, 2010 (the VFC Program Application), that were substantially
similar to the Transactions but that involved plans described in Code section 4975(e)(1) and subject to Title I of ERISA (the Qualified Plan Transactions).

(b) The Applicant received a ‘‘noaction letter’’ from the Department in connection with the Qualified Plan
Transactions described in the VFC Program Application.

(c) An independent fiduciary
confirmed that the methods utilized to
correct the Transactions and Transaction Compensation were
sufficient to return each affected IRA to at least the position that it would have
been in had the Transactions and Transaction Compensation not occurred, and that the correction methods were properly applied to the
Transactions and Transaction Compensation based on a review of a representative sample of the corrections, selected at random by the independent fiduciary.

For purposes of this exemption, a fiduciary is ‘‘independent’’ if it is independent of and unrelated to Applicant and its affiliates. In this regard, a fiduciary will not be deemed independent of Applicant and its affiliates if: (1) such fiduciary directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or
is under common control with Applicant or its affiliates, (2) such fiduciary directly or indirectly receives any compensation or other consideration in connection with any transaction described in this exemption, except that it may receive compensation for acting as an independent fiduciary from Applicant in connection with the transactions described herein, if the amount or payment of such compensation is not contingent upon, or in any way affected by such fiduciary’s decision; or (3) the annual gross revenue received by the fiduciary and its affiliates, in any fiscal year, from Applicant or its affiliates exceeds one percent (1%) of the annual gross revenue from all sources (for federal income tax purposes) of the fiduciary and its affiliates for their prior tax year.

(d) The terms of the Transactions and the Transaction Compensation were at
least as favorable to the IRAs as the terms generally available in arm’s-length transactions between unrelated parties.

(e) The Transactions and Transaction Compensation were not part of an
agreement, arrangement or understanding designed to benefit a disqualified person, as defined in Code section 4975(e)(2).

(f) The Applicant did not take advantage of the relief provided by the VFC Program and Prohibited Transaction Exemption 2002–51 3 (PTE 2002–51) for three (3) years prior to the date of the Applicant’s submission of the VFC Program Application.

Section III: General Conditions

(a) The Applicant maintains, or causes to be maintained, for a period of six (6) years from the date of any
Transaction such records as are necessary to enable the persons described in Section III(b)(1) to
determine whether the conditions of this exemption have been met, except
that:

(1) A separate prohibited transaction
shall not be considered to have occurred if, due to circumstances beyond the control of Applicant, the records are lostor destroyed prior to the end of the sixyear period; and

(2) No disqualified person with respect to an IRA, other than Applicant, shall be subject to excise taxes imposed by Code section 4975, if such records are not maintained, or are not available for examination, as required by Section III(b)(1).

(b)(1) Except as provided in Section III(b)(2), the records referred to in Section III(a) are unconditionally available at their customary location for examination during normal business hours by:


### 19317 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 61 / Friday, March 29, 2013 / Notices

4 For purposes of this exemption, references to specific provisions of Title I of the Act, unless otherwise specified, refer also to the corresponding provisions of the Code. (A) Any duly authorized employee or representative of the Department, the Internal Revenue Service, or the Securities and Exchange Commission;

(B) Any fiduciary of any IRA that engaged in a Transaction, or any duly authorized employee or representative of such fiduciary; or

(C) Any owner or beneficiary of an IRA that engaged in a Transaction or a representative of such owner or beneficiary.

(2) None of the persons described in Sections III(b)(1)(B) and (C) shall be
authorized to examine trade secrets of Applicant, or commercial or financial information which is privileged or
confidential.

(3) Should Applicant refuse to
disclose information on the basis that such information is exempt from disclosure, Applicant shall, by the close of the thirtieth (30th) day following the request, provide a written notice advising that person of the reasons for the refusal and that the Department may request such information.

Effective Date: This exemption is effective from January 4, 2002 until December 9, 2005.

The Department invited all interested persons to submit written comments and/or requests for a public hearing with respect to the notice of proposed exemption on or before December 16, 2012. During the comment period, the Department received one (1) comment on the proposed exemption. The sole comment was submitted by the Applicant. The Department received no hearing requests during the comment period.

The Applicant commented that the compensation test for the independent fiduciary that is set forth in Section II(c) of the proposed exemption did not cover compensation received by the independent fiduciary and its ‘‘affiliates’’, while item 10 of the facts and representations set forth with the proposed exemption included the term
‘‘affiliates’’ in its discussion of the independent fiduciary’s compensation. As a result, the Applicant requests that
the term ‘‘affiliates’’ be inserted into Section II(c) of the exemption for purposes of clarity. The Department concurs, and, accordingly, the final exemption has been amended to include ‘‘affiliates’’ in Section II(c) of the exemption.

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 November 16, 2012, at 77 FR 68835.

Silchester International Investors LLP (Silchester or the Applicant) Located in London, England

[Prohibited Transaction Exemption 2013–04; Exemption Application No. D–11671]

EXEMPTION

Section I. Covered Transactions

The restrictions of section 406(a)(1)(A), 406(a)(1)(D), and section 406(b)(2) of ERISA, and the sanctions resulting from the application of section 4975 of the Code, by reason of section 4975(c)(1)(A) and section 4975(c)(1)(D) of the Code, shall not apply to the cross trading of securities (the cross trades, or the transactions) between various Accounts managed by Silchester, where
at least one of the Accounts involved in the cross trade is an ERISA Account, if
the conditions set forth in Section II
have been met.

Section II. Conditions

(a) Each cross trade is a purchase or sale of securities by an ERISA Account
for no consideration other than cash payment against prompt delivery of a security for which market quotations are readily available.

(b) A cross trade may only be effected
on the first business date of the month.

(c) Each cross trade is effected at a price equal to the security’s ‘‘independent current market price’’(within the meaning of section 270.17a7(b) of Title 17, Code of Federal Regulations) on the business date that immediately precedes the first business
date of the month on which the cross
trade occurs.

(d) No brokerage commission, fees or other remuneration is paid in connection with a cross trade involving an ERISA Account. Notwithstanding the above, customary transfer fees or brokerage fees dictated by local market restrictions may be applicable, the fact
of which is disclosed in advance to an Independent Fiduciary. In the event local market restrictions require the use of a broker-dealer, and only in such event, broker-dealers that are not
Affiliates of Silchester or the trustee of any Account that is a commingled fund will be used to execute the transaction,
and no more than reasonable compensation will be paid to such
unaffiliated broker-dealer to execute the cross trade. In any event, neither Silchester nor the trustee of any ERISA Account will receive a commission, fee, or other remuneration directly or indirectly from an ERISA Account in connection with a cross trade involving an ERISA Account (provided that the trustee of an Account may be expected to receive remuneration on foreign exchange transactions in the ordinary
course that would be received irrespective of whether the trade was a
cross trade or if the securities were sold in the market).

(e) Prior to engaging in any cross trade
for an ERISA Account or at the inception of any new relationship between Silchester and a Plan,
Silchester shall deliver to the Independent Fiduciary (i) a written disclosure regarding the conditions under which cross trades may take place (which disclosure will be separate from any other agreement or disclosure in respect of the ERISA Account, including the Policies and Procedures); (ii) a written copy of the Policies and Procedures; and (iii) written instructions (via email correspondence or otherwise) directing the Independent Fiduciary to give appropriate consideration to: (A) The responsibilities, obligations and duties imposed upon fiduciaries by Part 4 of Title I of the Act, (B) whether the terms
of the cross trades are fair to the Plan and its participants and beneficiaries, and to the ERISA Account, and are comparable to, and no less favorable than, terms obtainable at arm’s-length between unaffiliated parties, and (C)
whether the cross trades are in the best interest of the Plan and its participants
and beneficiaries and of the ERISA Account. The receipt of the instructions described in clause (iii) must be acknowledged in writing (via email correspondence or otherwise) by the Independent Fiduciary.

(f) Prior to engaging in any cross trade for an ERISA Account, Silchester must
receive authorization from the Independent Fiduciary of such ERISA Account to engage in cross trades involving the ERISA Account at Silchester’s discretion, which authorization must be provided in a written document in advance of any such cross trades, and must be separate from any other written agreement or
disclosure between Silchester and the ERISA Account or Plan, as applicable. Such authorization will only be effective if the Independent Fiduciary has already received the disclosures described in paragraph (e) above.

(g) The Independent Fiduciary shall represent, in its authorization of participation for an ERISA Account, that it has the requisite knowledge and experience in financial and business matters to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of investing in the ERISA Account and to be capable of


### 19319 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 61 / Friday, March 29, 2013 / Notices

protecting the Plan’s interests in
connection with the investment or that it has obtained expert advice that allows it to adequately evaluate its investment
in the ERISA Account. If such Independent Fiduciary cannot make the foregoing representations, then the
authorization described herein will not
be effective.

(h) Both on an annual basis and each time Silchester provides notice to the Independent Fiduciary in writing that a new fund or new Separately Managed Account may engage in cross trades, a designated representative of Silchester will advise each such Independent Fiduciary in writing that it can revoke
the authorization described in paragraph (f) at any time in writing by withdrawing from the ERISA Account (or in the case of an ERISA Account that is a Separately Managed Account, by written notice to the Applicant).

(i) On a quarterly basis, Silchester will provide (or cause to be provided) to each Independent Fiduciary a written report detailing all cross trades in which the ERISA Account participated during such quarter, including the following information, as applicable: (i) The identity of each security bought or sold; (ii) the number of shares or units traded; (iii) the Accounts involved in the cross trade; and (iv) the trade price and the total U.S. dollar value of each security
involved in the cross trade and the method used to establish the trade price. The quarterly report will be provided to the Independent Fiduciary prior to the end of the next following quarter.

(j) Silchester will not base its fee
schedule on a Plan’s consent to cross trading, nor is any other service (other than the investment opportunities and cost savings available through a cross trade) conditioned on the Plan’s

consent.

(k) Silchester adopts, and cross trades will be effected in accordance with, the Policies and Procedures, which will be
made further available to an Independent Fiduciary upon request.

(l) A member of Silchester’s compliance group reviews cross trades within 10 business days of the cross trades to confirm compliance with the Policies and Procedures and report to the compliance group regarding such member’s findings, and Silchester designates an individual member of its compliance group to be responsible for annually reviewing a sampling of each
ERISA Account’s cross trades that is
sufficient in size and nature to determine compliance with the Policies
and Procedures described herein with respect to each such ERISA Account and, following such review, such
individual shall issue an annual written report no later than 90 calendar days following the end of the ERISA Account’s fiscal year to which it relates, signed under penalty of perjury, to each Independent Fiduciary describing the actions performed during the course of the review, the level of such compliance, and any specific instances of non-compliance.

(m) An Independent Auditor conducts an Exemption Audit on an annual basis, the audit period for which will be the ERISA Account’s fiscal year. Following completion of the Exemption Audit, the Independent Auditor shall issue a written report to Silchester (with copies thereof delivered to each Independent Fiduciary) presenting its specific findings regarding the level of compliance with: (1) The Policies and Procedures and (2) the objective requirements of the exemption. The written report shall also contain the Independent Auditor’s overall opinion regarding whether Silchester’s program complied with: (1) the Policies and Procedures and (2) the objective requirements of the exemption. The Exemption Audit and the written report must be completed within six months following the end of the fiscal year to which the Exemption Audit relates.

(n) The ERISA Account has at least U.S. $100 million in assets.

(o) Each underlying investor in a commingled fund ERISA Account and each ERISA Account that is a Separately Managed Account shall represent in writing (which representation is deemed to be repeated upon each subsequent investment in such ERISA Account) that it is a ‘‘qualified purchaser,’’ as that term is defined in section 2(a)(51)(A) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended.

(p) Silchester will conduct cross trades involving an ERISA Account only when triggered by contributions or withdrawals initiated by investors in
such ERISA Account where:

(1) Contributions from one Account can be matched against withdrawals
from another Account and the
confirmed net contributions/ withdrawals (as the case may be) from the ERISA Account exceed U.S. $10 million or 10 basis points or 0.1% of the value of the ERISA Account (whichever is less); and

(2) The ERISA Account’s forecasted residual cash balance when adjusted for
month-end cash flows after the cross trade will be within 50 basis points or 0.5% of the cash weightings of each
such other Account.

(q) Silchester will not include an ERISA Account in a cross trade during any period in which the weightings of
14 or more securities in the ERISA Account individually differ by more than 50 basis points from the weightings

below to determine whether the conditions of this exemption have been met, provided that (i) a separate prohibited transaction will not be considered to have occurred if, due to circumstances beyond the control of Silchester, the records are lost ordestroyed prior to the end of the sixyear period, and (ii) no party in interest other than Silchester shall be subject to a civil penalty that may be assessed under section 502(i) of the Act or the taxes imposed by section 4975(a) and (b) of the Code, if such records are not maintained, or are not available for examination as required by paragraph (u)(i) below.

(u)(i) Except as provided below in paragraph (u)(ii), and notwithstanding any provisions of subsections (a)(2) and (b) of section 504 of the Act, the records referred to above in paragraph (t) are unconditionally available at their customary location for examination during normal business hours by:

Written Comments

The Department invited all interested persons to submit written comments and/or requests for a public hearing with respect to the notice of proposed exemption on or before February 6, 2013. During the comment period, the Department received one written comment from the Applicant concerning an update to the procedure applicable to Plans withdrawing from the Group Trust that is described in the Summary of Facts and Representations (the Summary) in the notice of proposed exemption. The Applicant’s comment and the Department’s response thereto are described below. The Department
received no other written comments and no hearing requests.

Applicant’s Comment

The Applicant’s comment concerned an update to the procedure for a Plan’s withdrawal from the Group Trust, as described in the Summary. Section II(h) of the proposed exemption provides that, ‘‘[b]oth on an annual basis and each time Silchester provides notice to the Independent Fiduciary in writing that a new fund or new Separately Managed Account may engage in cross trades, a designated representative of
Silchester will advise each such Independent Fiduciary in writing that it can revoke the authorization [for Silchester to engage in cross trades on behalf of an ERISA Account] at any time in writing by withdrawing from the

ERISA Account * * * .’’ In Representation 28 of the Summary, the Applicant states that ‘‘the Group Trust’s withdrawal provisions are described in the Group Trust’s Confidential Private Offering Memorandum and delineated in the Group Trust Agreement * * * [which] provides that a Plan may withdraw all or part of its units in the Group Trust on the first business day of each calendar month (referred to as a dealing day) upon six business days’ prior written notice.’’

According to the Applicant, Silchester intends to update the Group Trust Agreement and the Confidential Private Offering Memorandum, which update
will include an amendment to the notice period required for an ERISA
Account’s withdrawal from six business days to ten business days. The Applicant notes that, in accordance with Silchester’s standard practice and the Group Trust Agreement, ERISA Accounts participating in the Group Trust will be notified 60 days in
advance of such amendment to the Group Trust Agreement becoming effective. The Department takes note of the amendment to the Group Trust Agreement and of the corresponding modification to Representation 28.

After giving full consideration to the entire record, including the written comment, the Department has decided to grant the exemption, as described

the relevant conditions of Section I and will be authorized in advance by an authorizing fiduciary in accordance with the applicable procedures of paragraphs (f), (g) and (i);

(i) In the case of a pooled separate account maintained by an insurance company qualified to do business in a
state or a common or collective trust fund maintained by a bank or trust company supervised by a state or federal agency (Commingled Investment Fund), the requirements of paragraph (f) of this Section shall not apply, provided
that—

(1) The information described in paragraph (g) (including information with respect to any material change in the arrangement) of this Section and a description of the operation of the Platform (including a description of the fee structure paid by securities lenders and borrowers), shall be furnished by the Owner Lending Agent to the authorizing fiduciary (described in paragraph (b) of Section III) with respect to each plan whose assets are invested in the account or fund, not less than 30 days prior to implementation of any such arrangement or material change thereto, or, not less than 15 days prior to the purchase or license of any specific securities lending-related product, and, where requested, upon the reasonable request of the authorizing fiduciary. For purposes of this subparagraph, the requirement that the authorizing fiduciary be independent shall not apply in the case of an Equity Owner Plan;

data based on off-Platform securities lending transactions conducted on behalf of the plan, the plan on whose behalf the objection was tendered is given the opportunity to terminate its investment in the account or fund, without penalty to the plan, within such time as may be necessary to effect the withdrawal in an orderly manner that is equitable to all withdrawing plans and to the non-withdrawing plans. In the case of a plan that elects to withdraw pursuant to the foregoing, such withdrawal shall be effected prior to the implementation of, or material change in, the arrangement or purchase or license, but any existing arrangement need not be discontinued by reason of a plan electing to withdraw; and

be authorized in the manner described in paragraph (f)(1)(A), (f)(2)(A), and (f)(3)(A);

(j) The Equity Owner, together with its affiliates (as defined in Section III(a)),
does not own at the time of the execution of a securities lending transaction on behalf of a plan by the Equity Owner (i.e., in its capacity as Owner Lending Agent) through EquiLend or at the time of the purchase, or commencement of licensing, of data and/or analytical tools by the plan, more

(1) If EquiLend is a corporation, including a limited liability company taxable as a corporation, the combined voting power of all classes of stock
entitled to vote or the total value of
shares of all classes of stock of EquiLend, or

(2) If EquiLend is a partnership, including a limited liability company taxable as a partnership, the capital interest or the profits interest of EquiLend;

(k) Any information, authorization, or termination of authorization may be provided by mail or electronically; and

(l) No Equity Owner Plan, as defined in Section III(e), will participate in the Platform, other than through a Commingled Investment Fund in which the aggregate investment of all Equity
Owner Plans at the time of the
transaction constitutes less than 20% of
the total assets of such fund. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this prohibition shall not apply to the participation by an Equity Owner Plan as of the date that the aggregate loan balance of all securities lending transactions entered into through EquiLend by all participants outstanding on such date (excluding
transactions entered into on behalf of Equity Owner Plans) is equal to or greater than $10 billion; provided that if such aggregate loan balance is later determined to be less than $10 billion, no additional participation by an Equity Owner Plan (other than through a Commingled Investment Fund) shall occur until such time as the $10 billion threshold amount is again met.

Notice stated that all comments and requests for hearing were due by February 1, 2013. In a telephone conversation on January 8, 2013, TCCC informed the Department that the notification to all interested persons of the publication of the Notice in the Federal Register was not completed until January 14, 2013, because the New Year’s holiday and other issues delayed the first class mailing to all such interested persons. In order to ensure that all interested persons would have thirty (30) days to submit written comments and requests for a hearing, the Department required (and TCCC agreed) to an extension of time for the submission of comments and requests for a hearing from such interested persons. Accordingly, the deadline for all comments and requests for hearing was extended to February 13, 2013. In a letter dated February 12, 2013, TCCC confirmed that the required notification was sent to all interested persons via first class mail no later than January 14,

2013.

During the comment period, the Department received no requests for a hearing. However, the Department did
receive two written comments from TCCC in letters, dated February 12 and February 15, 2013. In the February 12 letter, TCCC requested clarification of the operative language of the Notice. In addition, TCCC informed the Department of corrections to the information that appeared in the Summary of Facts and Representations (SFR) of the Notice. In the February 15 letter, TCCC clarified the comments it had made in the February 12 letter, at the Department’s request. TCCC’s comments and the Department’s
amendments are discussed in paragraphs 1–4, below, in an order that corresponds to the appearance of the relevant language in the Notice.

1. TCCC has requested a modification to the language of Section I(b), as set forth on page 76779, in column 2, lines 68–73 and in column 3, lines 1–4 of the Notice. With regard to Section I(b), TCCC requests that the Department
make clear that the covered transactions include the reinsurance of the group
term life insurance benefits offered
under both the Retiree Plan and the
Actives Plan.

The Department concurs with TCCC’s request and has amended the language of Section I(b) in the exemption. The Department has also corrected the phrase, ‘‘accidental death and disability,’’ in Section I(b) of the Notice on page 76779, in column 2, lines 70– 71, to read ‘‘accidental death and
dismemberment.’’

In addition, in order to make clear
that the covered transactions include
the reinsurance of the AD&D benefits
offered under both the Retiree Plan and the Actives Plan, the Department has amended the language of Section I(a).


### 19325 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 61 / Friday, March 29, 2013 / Notices

Accordingly, Sections I(a) and (b) of the exemption read as follows:

(a) The reinsurance of risks and the receipt of premiums therefrom by Red Re, an affiliate of TCCC, as the term ‘‘affiliate’’ is defined in Section III(a)(1) below, in connection with group term life insurance sold by Metropolitan Life Insurance Company or any successor insurance company (a Fronting Insurer) to The Coca-Cola Company Health and Welfare Benefits Plan (the Actives Plan) and to The Coca-Cola Company Retiree Benefits Plan (the Retiree Plan); and

(b) The reinsurance of risks and the receipt of premiums therefrom by Red
Re in connection with accidental death and dismemberment insurance (AD&D) sold by a Fronting Insurer to the Actives Plan and to the Retiree Plan; provided the conditions set forth in Section II, below, are satisfied.

2. The Department has also clarified Section II(d) of the conditions of the exemption, as set forth in the Notice on page 76780, in column 1, line 2, in order to ensure that any benefit enhancements that are substituted will approximate those that became effective on January 1, 2013. Accordingly, Section II(d), as amended, reads as follows:

(d) In the initial year of every contract involving Red Re and a Fronting Insurer, there will be an immediate and objectively determined benefit to participants and beneficiaries of the Plans in the form of increased benefits,
and such benefits will continue in all subsequent years of each contract and in every renewal of each contract, and will approximate the increase in benefits that are effective January 1, 2013, as described in the Notice of Proposed Exemption (the Notice).

3. The Department has also clarified Section II(j) of the conditions of the exemption, as set forth in the Notice on page 76780, in column 1, lines 56–68, and in column 2, lines 1–2 on its own initiative. As published in the Notice, Section II(j) states:

(j) At the conclusion of the five-year period (the 5-Year Period), from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2017, in which MetLife has provided a rate guarantee in connection with the provision to participants in the Plans of the group
term life insurance and the AD&D coverage which is reinsured by Red Re, the I/F will review any renewal of the reinsurance of risks and the receipt of premiums therefrom by Red Re and must determine that the requirements of this proposed exemption and the terms
of the benefit enhancements continue to
be satisfied. The Department notes that the relief provided by the exemption will extend beyond the five year period in which MetLife will provide a rate guarantee in connection with the provision to the participants in the Plans of the group
term life insurance and the AD&D coverage which is reinsured by Red Re. In order to clarify the role of the I/F with respect to the renewal of the contract
with MetLife and all contracts and renewals with any Fronting Insurer which are reinsured by Red Re, Section II(j) has been revised to read as follows:

(j) In connection with the provision to participants in the Plans of the group
term life insurance and the AD&D coverage provided by a Fronting Insurer which is reinsured by Red Re, the I/F will review all contracts (and all renewals of such contracts) of the reinsurance of risks and the receipt of premiums therefrom by Red Re and must determine that the requirements of this exemption and the terms of the
benefit enhancements continue to be
satisfied.

4. In addition to the changes discussed above, TCCC has requested
clarifications to the SFR of the Notice.

a. TCCC states that Representation 6, as set forth in the SFR on page 76781, in column 1, lines 65–68, omits the fact that the Retiree Plan also provides basic life insurance to its participants. Further, TCCC indicates with respect to the last sentence of Representation 6, as set forth in the SFR on page 76781, in column 2, line 21, the conversion period is thirty-one (31) days, not sixty (60) days. Finally, TCCC points out that with respect to the second paragraph of Representation 6, as set forth in the SFR on page 76781, in column 2, line 28, that the ‘‘retiree only’’ supplemental AD&D coverage available includes increments of $50,000 and $100,000, as well as increments of $200,000, $300,000, and $400,000.

b. TCCC indicates that the proposed
new AD&D benefit described in Representation 13 of the SFR on page 76782, in column 1, line 58, ends at age
70 for retirees.

c. TCCC points out that in Representation 15 of the SFR on page 76782, in column 2, line 22, the
effective date shown in the second sentence should be ‘‘January 1, 2013,’’ not ‘‘January 1, 2012.’’ In addition, TCCC explains that in Representation 13 of the SFR on page 76782, in column 2, lines 30–35, the coverage maximums in the Plans are different. In this regard, the text of the SFR, according to TCCC, correctly describes the increase in the maximum to $2 million in the Actives
Plan. TCCC also states that the maximum coverage applicable to the Retiree Plan remains at $1.5 million. Finally, TCCC explains that in Representation 13 of the SFR on page 76782, in column 2, lines 54–55, the Spouse Education Benefit discussed covers four (4) years, rather than three (3) years.

After full consideration and review of the entire record, including the written comments filed by TCCC, the Department has determined to grant the exemption, as amended, corrected, and
clarified above. Comments and responses submitted to the Department by TCCC have been included as part of the public record of the exemption application. Copies of the comments from TCCC have been posted on the Department’s Web site at http:// www.dol.gov/ebsa. The complete application file (L–11738), including all supplemental submissions received by the Department, is available for public inspection in the Public Documents Room of the Employee Benefits Security Administration, Room N–1513, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20210.

General Information

The attention of interested persons is directed to the following:

(1) The fact that a transaction is the subject of an exemption under section 408(a) of the Act and/or section 4975(c)(2) of the Code does not relieve a fiduciary or other party in interest or disqualified person from certain other provisions to which the exemption does not apply and the general fiduciary responsibility provisions of section 404 of the Act, which among other things require a fiduciary to discharge his duties respecting the plan solely in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan and in a prudent fashion in accordance with section 404(a)(1)(B) of the Act; nor does it affect the requirement of section 401(a) of the Code that the plan must operate for the exclusive benefit of the employees of the employer maintaining the plan and their beneficiaries;

(2) This exemption is supplemental to and not in derogation of, any other provisions of the Act and/or the Code, including statutory or administrative exemptions and transactional rules. Furthermore, the fact that a transaction is subject to an administrative or statutory exemption is not dispositive of
