securities, may be barred by ERISA from

providing these combined services to

employee benefit plans. Without this

exemption, these sales could not

continue, causing disruption of the

existing business practices of plans and

the businesses that service them.

In order to insure that the exemption

is not abused, that the rights of

participants and beneficiaries are

protected, and that the exemption’s

conditions are being complied with, the

Department has included in the

exemption two information collection

requirements. The first requirement is to

provide the independent fiduciary with

either confirmation slips for each

individual transaction or to provide

quarterly reports. In the quarterly report

the broker-fiduciary must provide

certain financial information including

the total of all transaction related

charges incurred by the plan. The

second requirement calls for the annual

reporting of transaction charges

incurred by the plan as the amount of

such charges paid to other persons.

Furthermore, the annual report must

contain some measure of portfolio

turnover.
