Section II. Covered Transactions 

If the proposed exemption is granted, 

the restrictions of ERISA sections 

406(a)(1)(A), 406(a)(1)(B), 406(a)(1)(E), 

and 407(a) shall not apply effective as 

of the date a final exemption is 

published in the Federal Register, to: 

(a) The acquisition by the Retiree 

VEBA of: (1) the Note; (2) the Mortgage 

Lien; and (3) the Royalty Security to 

secure payment of the Note; 

(b) the holding by the Retiree VEBA 

of the Note, Mortgage Lien, and Royalty 

Security; and 

(c) the exercise by the Retiree VEBA 

of the rights granted under the Note, 

Mortgage Lien, and Royalty Security. 

Section III. Conditions 

(a) The terms of the Note, the 

Mortgage Lien and the Royalty Security 

are consistent with the terms of the 

Settlement Agreement that was 

approved by the United States District 

Court for the Eastern District of 

Michigan on November 6, 2015, after 

the Court found the Settlement 

Agreement to be appropriate and fair to 

the Retiree VEBA. 

(b) The Independent Members 

represent the Retiree VEBA for all 

purposes with respect to the Covered 

Transactions and ensure that each 

exemption condition is met consistent 

with their fiduciary duties under ERISA 

section 404; 

(c) The Independent Members have 

sole and exclusive control over the 

Note, the Mortgage Lien, and the 

Royalty Security, in order to foreclose or 

realize on the Black Lake Property and 

the Royalty Security (collectively, the 

Collateral) upon an uncured default on 

the UAW’s installment obligation. 

(d) The UAW immediately assigns a 

first priority security interest to the 

Retiree VEBA equal to 30% of the 

Royalty Security received or receivable 

from time to time from the UAW’s 

member credit card program, upon an 

uncured default on the UAW’s 

installment payment obligation. 

(e) If the UAW seeks to sell all or a 

portion of the Black Lake property, the 

Independent Members will not release 

the Retiree VEBA’s Mortgage Lien on 

the Black Lake Property unless and until 

the UAW makes all the commitments 

necessary to allow the Independent 

Members to conclude, consistent with 

their duties under ERISA section 404(a), 

that the sale of such property does not 

materially increase the risk borne by the 

Retiree VEBA. Such commitments may 

include the pre-payment of a portion of 

the installment payment obligation or 

the provision of alternative collateral. 

(f) Any proceeds from the sale of the 

Black Lake Property by the UAW, or 

from the Royalty Security, as required 

by the Settlement Agreement and 

Security Agreement, during the period 

during which the UAW owes 

installment payments to the Retiree 

VEBA (and up to the total amount of 

indebtedness), must be immediately 

paid to the Retiree VEBA to offset the 

outstanding principal balance due 

under the Note. 

(g) The UAW, through the UBC, 

remains responsible for the payment of 

all taxes levied or assessed with respect 

to the Black Lake Property, and the 

UAW, through the UBC, must maintain 

property insurance on the Black Lake 

Property at all times. 

(h) All persons or entities who have 

or may acquire an interest in the Black 

Lake Property must have notice of and 

be bound by the terms of the Note. No 

party will be entitled to any rights 

thereunder without the written consent 

of the Retiree VEBA. 

(i) The terms of the Note, Mortgage 

Lien, and Royalty Security may not be 

modified during the duration of the 

UAW’s obligation to the Retiree VEBA. 

(j) The Retiree VEBA must prudently 

develop written policies and procedures 

designed to ensure that the Independent 

Members prudently monitor the UAW’s 

payment obligation to the Retiree VEBA, 

as well as the UAW’s marketing and/or 

sale of all or a portion of the Black Lake 

Property. 

(k) The Independent Members must 

engage a Qualified Independent 

Appraiser to value the Note, Mortgage 

Lien, and Royalty Security as soon as 

reasonably possible following the date 

the UAW defaults on its payment 

obligation and fails to correct such 

default, and as needed or as required 

thereafter as determined by the 

Independent Members consistent with 

their fiduciary duties under ERISA, with 

the fees of such Qualified Independent 

Appraiser to be paid by the Retiree 

VEBA. 

(l) Annually on the first day after the 

date this exemption is granted, the 

Committee Chairperson must provide 

the Department with a signed 

certification attesting that the 

Independent Members monitored the 

Note, the Collateral, the Security 

Agreement, and the terms of this 

exemption consistent with their 

fiduciary duties under ERISA section 

404. The first certification must include 

the written policies described in 

condition (j). The certification must be 

provided within 30 days after the end of 

the period to which it relates. 

(m) In the event the UAW defaults on 

the Installment Payment Obligation the 

Committee Chairperson must submit a 

written report to the Department 

providing: (1) a certification that each 

condition of the exemption has been 

met; (2) a complete description of any 

foreclosure and liquidation transactions; 

(3) all documentation necessary to 

demonstrate that all relevant conditions 

applicable to the transaction(s) have 

been met; and (4) if the Retiree VEBA 

does not foreclose on the Collateral, a 

complete explanation of the 

Independent Members’ rationale for not 

taking such action. The report must be 

submitted no later than 90 days 

following the date the UAW defaults on 

its Installment Payment Obligation. 

Exemption date: If granted, this 

proposed exemption will be in effect on 

the date that the grant notice is 

published in the Federal Register. 

Signed at Washington, DC, this 17th day of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure 

of the average change over time in the 

prices paid by consumers for a market 

basket of consumer goods and services. 

Each month, BLS data collectors called 

economic assistants, visit or call 

thousands of retail stores, service 

establishments, rental units, and 

doctors’ offices, all over the United 

States to obtain information on the 

prices of the thousands of items used to 

track and measure price changes in the 

CPI. The collection of price data from 

retail establishments is essential for the 

timely and accurate calculation of the 

commodities and services component of 

the CPI. The CPI is then widely used as 

a measure of inflation, indicator of the 

effectiveness of government economic 

policy, deflator for other economic 

series, and as a means of adjusting 

dollar values. For additional substantive 

information about this ICR, see the 

related notice published in the Federal 

Register on April 3, 2023 (88 FRN 

19678). 

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 the OMB 

approves it 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 OMB Control Number. 

See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. 

Agency: DOL–BLS. 

Title of Collection: Consumer Price 

Index Commodities and Services
