92174 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 225 / Thursday, November 21, 2024 / Notices 

(l) The Plan will only contract with a 

Fronting Insurer that is unrelated to 

Meta or any of its affiliates, and that has 

a financial strength rating of ‘‘A’’ or 

better from A.M. Best. For purposes of 

this provision, the term ‘‘unrelated’’ 

means that the Fronting Insurer is not 

owned or controlled by Meta or any of 

its affiliates in whole or in part; 

(m) The Plan pays no more than 

adequate consideration with respect to 

insurance that is part of the captive 

reinsurance arrangement covered by the 

proposed exemption; 

(n) In the event a successor 

Independent Fiduciary is appointed to 

represent the interests of the Plan with 

respect to the subject transaction, no 

time shall elapse between the 

resignation or termination of the former 

Independent Fiduciary and the 

appointment of the successor 

Independent Fiduciary; 

(o) All expenses associated with the 

exemption and the exemption 

application, including any payment to 

the Independent Fiduciary, must be 

paid by Meta and not the Plan; 

(p) Meta may adjust the Benefit 

Enhancements to the Plan at any time, 

if such adjustment is approved in 

advance by the Independent Fiduciary 

after the Independent Fiduciary first 

determines that each adjusted Benefit 

Enhancement is in the interest of the 

Plan’s participants and beneficiaries and 

available to them on an equal basis. The 

cost incurred by Meta to fund the 

Benefit Enhancement may be used to 

determine whether the Primary Benefit 

Test has been met, but may not be 

considered to address a Shortfall if the 

Primary Benefit Test has not been met 

with respect to a five-year period, unless 

in accordance with Section III(a)(3)(A)- 

(B). A complete description of any new 

Benefit Enhancements and the 

Independent Fiduciary’s rationale and 

determinations regarding such 

enhancements must be included in the 

next Independent Fiduciary report 

submitted to the Department; 

(q) The Reinsurance Arrangement 

between Ekahi and Prudential or any 

successor Fronting Insurer must be 

indemnity insurance only. The 

arrangement must not relieve a Fronting 

Insurer from any responsibility or 

liability to the Plan, including liability 

that would result if Ekahi fails to meet 

any of its contractual obligations to 

Prudential or any successor Fronting 

Insurer under the Reinsurance 

Arrangement. Further, the executed 

reinsurance contract between the 

Fronting Insurer and Ekahi will 

expressly state (by rider, addendum, 

amendment, etc.) that, in the event that 

Ekahi is insolvent, unable or unwilling 

to pay any claims, or otherwise 

prevented from paying any claims, the 

Fronting Insurer remains solely 

obligated to pay any claim properly 

incurred by the Plan and its participants 

and beneficiaries; 

(r) If the exemption is granted, the 

Plan document and Summary Plan 

Description (SPD) will be revised within 

90 days after the final exemption is 

published in the Federal Register to 

include a summary of the reinsurance 

arrangement, an explanation why the 

arrangement constitutes a transaction 

prohibited by ERISA (including an 

explanation of why Ekahi is a party in 

interest). The revision must also state 

that the Plan is currently relying on an 

individual prohibited transaction 

exemption granted by the U.S. 

Department of Labor. The revision to the 

Plan and SPD must be conspicuously 

displayed and not contained in a 

footnote. The Plan Administrator must 

distribute the updated SPD to all Plan 

participants within six months of the 

publishing of the granted exemption. 

(s) If the Reinsurance Arrangement is 

terminated the Plan Administrator will 

revise and update the SPD accordingly. 

The Plan Administrator will then 

distribute the updated SPD to all Plan 

participants within six months of the 

termination of the Reinsurance 

Arrangement. 

(t) Meta, and its affiliates, must 

maintain all the records necessary to 

demonstrate the conditions of the 

exemption have been met with respect 

to all the prohibited transactions 

described in this exemption, for a 

period of six years from the date of any 

prohibited transaction for which the 

exemption provides relief. Meta must 

provide these records to the Department 

within 30 days from the date the 

Department requests these records. 

Applicability Date: This exemption 

will be in effect for the period beginning 

on the date of publication in the Federal 

Register. 

Signed at Washington, DC, this this 15th 

day of November 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A number 

of standards issued by the OSHA 

contain requirements for equipment, 

products, or materials. These standards 

often specify that employers use only 

equipment, products, or material tested 

or approved by a Nationally Recognized 

Testing Laboratory. This requirement 

ensures that employers use safe 

equipment, products, or materials in 

complying with the standards. 

Accordingly, OSHA promulgated the 

regulation 29 CFR 1910.7, ‘‘Definition 

and Requirements for a Nationally 

Recognized Testing Laboratory.’’ The 

Regulation specifies procedures that 

organizations must follow to apply for, 

and to maintain, OSHA’s recognition to 

test and certify equipment, products, or 

material for this purpose. For additional 

substantive information about this ICR, 

see the related notice published in the 

Federal Register on August 1, 2024 (89 

FR 62803). 

Comments are invited on: (1) whether 

the collection of information is 

necessary for the proper performance of 

the functions of the Department, 

including whether the information will

have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of 

the agency’s estimates of the burden and 

cost of the collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; (3) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility and 

clarity of the information collection; and 

(4) ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

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. 

DOL seeks PRA authorization for this 

information collection for three (3) 

years. OMB authorization for an ICR 

cannot be for more than three (3) years 

without renewal. The DOL notes that 

information collection requirements 

submitted to the OMB for existing ICRs 

receive a month-to-month extension 

while they undergo review.
