SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

Section 404(c) of ERISA provides that

if an individual account pension plan

permits a participant or beneficiary to

exercise control over assets in his

account and the participant or

beneficiary in fact exercises such

control, that participant or beneficiary

shall not be deemed to be a fiduciary by

such exercise of control, and that no

person otherwise a fiduciary shall be

liable for any loss or breach that results

from this exercise of control.

The opportunity to exercise control

includes the opportunity to obtain

sufficient information to make informed

decisions with respect to investment

alternatives. This regulation describes

the type and extent of information

required to be made available to

participants and beneficiaries for this

purpose. In the absence of such

disclosures, participants might not be

able to make informed decisions about

investing their individual accounts, and

persons who are otherwise fiduciaries

with respect to these plans would not be

afforded relief from the fiduciary

responsibility provisions of Title I of

ERISA with respect to these

transactions.

II. Desired Focus of Comments

The Department is particularly

interested in comments which:

• Evaluate whether the proposed

collection of information is necessary

for the proper performance of the

functions of the agency, including

whether the information will have

practical utility;

• Evaluate the accuracy of the

agency’s estimate of the burden of the

proposed collection of information,

including the validity of the

methodology and assumptions used;

• Enhance the quality, utility, and

clarity of the information to be

collected; and

• Minimize the burden of the

collection of information on those who

are to respond, including through the

use of appropriate automated,

electronic, mechanical, or other

technological collection techniques or

other forms of information technology,

e.g., permitting electronic submission of

responses.

III. Current Action

This notice requests comments on the

extension of the ICR included in the

regulation pertaining to participant

directed individual account plans under

Section 404(c) of ERISA. The

Department is not proposing or

implementing changes to the existing

ICR at this time.
