                        In the                         **Federal Register**                         dated November 18, 2021 (86 FR 64688), the Department of Labor (the Department) published a notice of proposed exemption (the Notice) from ERISA and the Code.                    

The Notice proposed the following transactions: (a) The in-kind contribution (the Contribution) by the American National Red Cross (the Red Cross) of nine condominium units located at 2025 E Street NW, Washington DC to the Retirement System of The American National Red Cross (the Plan); and (b) the assignment of certain rights and obligations from the Red Cross to the Plan in connection with the Contribution.
