FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Contact Michel Smyth by telephone at 

202–693–4129 (this is not a toll-free 

number) or by email at 

DOL_PRA_PUBLIC@dol.gov. 

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

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.
