of Legal Counsel, Department of Justice, 

Washington, DC 20530; (202) 514–2027. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant 

to 28 U.S.C. 509, ‘‘[a]ll functions of 

other officers of the Department of 

Justice and all functions of agencies and 

employees of the Department of Justice 

are vested in the Attorney General’’ but 

for exceptions not applicable here. 

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 510, the 

Attorney General has broad authority to 

‘‘authorize[e] the performance by any 

other officer, employee, or agency of the 

Department of Justice of any function of 

the Attorney General.’’ Various powers 

and authorities have been delegated to 

the Assistant Attorney General for the 

Civil Division. See, e.g., 28 CFR Ch. I, 

Pt. 0, Subpts. I, Y, App. to Subpt. Y; 28 

CFR 15.4. This most recent delegation 

ensures that the Assistant Attorney 

General for the Civil Division and the 

Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney 

General for the Civil Division will each, 

concurrently, have the same set of 

delegated powers, thereby enhancing 

efficient management of Civil Division 

operations. 

The delegation order is a matter of 

internal Department management. 

Accordingly, the requirements under 

the Administrative Procedure Act for 

notice and comment and a delay in 

effective date are not applicable. See 5 

U.S.C. 553. Although publication is not 

required, the Department has chosen to 

publish this notice to advise the public 

of this recent delegation. 

The order is not a ‘‘significant 

regulatory action’’ under section 3(f) of 

Executive Order 12866 and accordingly 

it has not been reviewed by the Office 

of Management and Budget. In addition, 

the order will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities. See 5 U.S.C. 

605(b). Nor will it have substantial 

direct effects on the states, on the 

relationship between the national 

government and the states, or on the 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government. Therefore, this 

order does not have sufficient 

federalism implications to warrant the 

preparation of a Federalism Assessment 

pursuant to Executive Order 13132. 

Attorney General Order 3350–2012 

reads as follows: 

‘‘By virtue of the authority vested in 

me by law, including 28 U.S.C. §§ 509 

and 510, I hereby delegate to the 

Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney 

General for the Civil Division all the 

power and authority of the Assistant 

Attorney General for the Civil Division, 

unless any such power or authority is 

required by law to be exercised by the 

Assistant Attorney General for the Civil 

Division personally.’’

68832 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 222 / Friday, November 16, 2012 / Notices 

1The 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). 

2For 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. 

(the Plan), 2012–19; and L–11688, Sharp 

HealthCare (Sharp), 2012–20. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Department published notices in the 

Federal Register of the pendency of 

proposals to grant such exemptions. The 

notices set forth a summary of facts and 

representations contained in the 

applications for exemption and referred 

interested persons to the applications 

for a complete statement of the facts and 

representations. The applications have 

been available for public inspection at 

the Department in Washington, DC. The 

notices also invited interested persons 

to submit comments on the requested 

exemptions to the Department. In 

addition the notices stated that any 

interested person might submit a 

written request that a public hearing be 

held (where appropriate). The 

applicants have represented that they 

have 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 exemptions. 

The notices of proposed exemptions 

were issued and the exemptions are 

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 exemptions are 

administratively feasible; 

(b) The exemptions are in the interests 

of the plans and their participants and 

beneficiaries; and 

(c) The exemptions are protective of 

the rights of the participants and 

beneficiaries of the plans.

which became a party in interest with 

respect to the Plan after the merger (the 

Merger); and 

(b) To the holding of the Warrants by 

the accounts in the Plan of the Invested 

Participants; provided that the 

conditions, as set forth in Section II of

Invested Participants and throughout 

the duration of the holding of the 

Warrants in the accounts of such 

Invested Participants. 

Section II: Conditions 

The relief provided in this exemption 

is conditioned upon adherence to the 

material facts and representations 

described, herein, and as set forth in the

(a) The Warrants were acquired by the 

individually-directed accounts of the 

Invested Participants, all or a portion of 

whose accounts in the Plan hold the 

common stock of El Paso (the EP Stock); 

(b) The exchange by the shareholders, 

including the Invested Participants, of 

the EP Stock for Warrants resulted from 

an independent act of El Paso and KMI, 

as corporate entities in connection with 

the Merger, and occurred automatically 

without any action or control on the 

part of such shareholders, including the 

Invested Participants; 

(c) The acquisition of the Warrants by 

the Invested Participants occurred in 

connection with the Merger, and such 

Warrants were made available on the 

same terms to all shareholders of the EP 

Stock, including the Invested 

Participants; 

(d) The decisions with regard to the 

holding and disposition of the Warrants 

were made by each of the Invested

pay any fees or commissions in 

connection with the acquisition and 

holding of the Warrants, nor did the 

Invested Participants pay any fees on 

the exercise of the Warrants; and 

(g) Prior to entering into the Merger, 

El Paso obtained all necessary approvals 

from any relevant state agencies and 

federal agencies, including, but not 

limited to the U.S. Department of Justice 

Antitrust Division, the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission, the Securities 

and Exchange Commission, and the 

Federal Trade Commission. 

Effective Date: This exemption is 

effective, May 25, 2012, the closing date 

of the Merger. 

Written Comments 

In the Notice, the Department invited 

all interested persons to submit written 

comments and requests for a hearing 

within sixty (60) days of the date of the 

publication of the Notice in the Federal 

Register on June 1, 2012. All comments 

and requests for hearing were due by 

July 31, 2012. During the comment 

period, the Department received no 

requests for hearing. However, the 

Department did receive a comment in a 

letter, dated July 5, 2012, from James E. 

Street (Mr. Street), Vice President, 

Human Resources and IT of KMI. As of 

the date of the Merger, KMI became an 

interested person with respect to the 

Plan. 

In his letter, Mr. Street informed the 

Department that the Merger was 

effective on May 25, 2012. Accordingly, 

Mr. Street represents that the subject 

transactions were entered into on the 

effective date of the Merger for business 

expediency reasons before a final 

exemption could be obtained from the 

Department. As the subject transactions 

have already been consummated, Mr. 

Street, on behalf of KMI, requests that 

the Department grant a retroactive 

exemption, effective as of May 25, 2012, 

the date when the Merger closed. 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 222 / Friday, November 16, 2012 / Notices 68833 

The Department concurs, and 

accordingly, the final exemption has 

been amended to change the tense of the 

verbs to reflect that the subject 

transactions have been entered into, and 

to insert the following paragraph: 

Effective Date: This exemption is 

effective, May 25, 2012, the closing date 

of the Merger. 

In response to an inquiry by the 

Department, Mr. Street, on behalf of 

KMI, in a letter dated September 25, 

2012, confirmed that, to the best of his 

knowledge and belief, the material facts 

presented and the representations made 

by El Paso in the original prohibited 

transaction exemption application (the 

Application) submitted to the 

Department on November 23, 2011, and 

in the supplemental submissions 

relating to the Application remain true 

and correct and that the conditions set 

forth in Section II of the Notice, as 

published in the Federal Register on 

June 1, 2012, were satisfied, as of May 

25, 2012, the closing date of the Merger 

of El Paso and KMI, and thereafter. 

For a more complete statement of the 

facts and representations supporting the 

Department’s decision to grant this 

exemption refer to the Notice of

Department received no comments or 

requests for a hearing from interested 

persons. 

Therefore, after giving full 

consideration to the entire record, the 

Department has decided to grant the 

exemption. For further information 

regarding the individual exemption, 

interested persons are encouraged to 

obtain copies of the exemption

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) Each 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 

whether the transaction is in fact a 

prohibited transaction; and 

(3) The availability of an exemption is 

subject to the express condition that the 

material facts and representations 

contained in the application accurately 

describes all material terms of the 

transaction which is the subject of the 

exemption.
