[Exemption Application No. D–11246] 

Adoption of Amendment to Prohibited 

Transaction Exemption (PTE) 99–29 

Involving Bankers Trust Company, 

Deutsche Bank Trust Company 

Americas (DBTCA), and Deutsche

SUMMARY: This document contains an 

amendment to PTE 99–29 (64 FR 40623, 

July 27, 1999), an exemption granted to 

Bankers Trust Company. PTE 99–29 

permits DBTCA (formerly known as 

Banker’s Trust Company) to continue to 

function as a qualified professional asset 

manager (QPAM) under PTE 84–14 (49 

FR 9494, March 13, 1994). The 

amendment affects participants and 

beneficiaries and fiduciaries of 

employee benefit plans to which 

DBTCA served as custodian.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The amendment is 

effective as of January 31, 2003.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Allison Padams Lavigne, Office of 

Exemption Determinations, Employee 

Benefits Security Administration, US 

Department of Labor, Washington, DC 

20210 at (202) 693–8540. This is not a 

toll-free number.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

February 3, 2005, the Department 

published a notice of proposed 

exemption that would amend PTE 99–

29. The amendment was requested in an 

application filed on behalf of DBTCA. 

DBTCA is a New York banking, 

fiduciary, record keeping custodial, 

brokerage and investment services to 

corporations, institutions, governments, 

employee benefit plans, governmental 

retirement plans, and private investors 

worldwide, Deutsche Bank, AG 

indirectly wholly owns DBTCA. 

The proposed amendment invited 

interested persons to submit comments 

to the Department on or before March 

21, 2005. On February 17, 2005, the 

applicant notified the Department that 

the names and addresses of certain 

individuals who may be entitled to 

receive notice of the proposed 

amendment were contained in records 

that were destroyed by the events that 

occurred on September 11, 2001. As a 

result, the applicant did not notify 

interested persons within the three-day 

period specified in the proposed 

amendment. The applicant requested 

that the comment period be extended to 

ensure that interested persons would 

have a sufficient amount of time in 

which to provide their comments to the 

Department. In addition, the applicant 

stated that it had the names and 

addresses of custody clients of DBTCA 

as of December 31, 2002. The applicant 

believed that this list of clients would 

reasonably include all parties that 

would have an interest in the proposed 

amendment. The Department concurred 

with the applicant. Accordingly, on 

March 29, 2005, the applicant sent 

notice to all custody clients of DBTCA 

as of December 31, 2002. This notice 

informed interested persons of their 

right to comment on the proposed 

amendment, and informed these 

persons that comments were due to the 

Department on or before May 27, 2005.

Written Comments 

The Department received one written 

comment. No requests for a public 

hearing were received. The comment 

was submitted by the applicant who 

wished to clarify that check ledgers, 

cancelled checks and class action 

records that are described in the notice 

of proposed amendment continue to be 

the property of the applicant, but such 

materials can only be effectively 

searched using State Street’s record 

keeping systems. In this regard, State 

Street currently serves as inquiry 

response and information agent for the 

applicant, and maintains information on 

its systems. The applicant relies upon 

State Street to answer inquiries related 

to these records. Under the terms of the 

applicant’s arrangement with State 

Street, State Street may resign from its 

inquiry response and information 

retrieval duties on or after April 28, 

2007. The applicant represents that in 

the event of State Street’s resignation, 

the applicant will locate another agent 

who will create a similar retrieval 

system, or re-establish an in-house 

information retrieval system. Under 

either arrangement, records will be 

maintained in accordance with the 

terms specified under the amendment to 

PTE 99–29. 

For further information regarding the 

comment or other matters discussed 

herein, interested persons are 

encouraged to obtain copies of the 

exemption application file (Exemption 

Application No. D–11246). The 

complete application file and all 

supplemental submissions received by 

the Department, are available for public 

inspection in the Public Disclosure 

Room of the Employee Benefits Security 

Administration, Room N–1513, U.S. 

Department of Labor, 200 Constitution 

Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20210. 

Accordingly, after giving full 

consideration to the entire record, 

including the written comment 

received, the Department has decided to 

adopt the amendment to PTE 99–29. 

General Information 

The attention of interested persons is 

directed to the following:

(1) The fact that a transaction is the 

subject of an exemption granted under 

section 408(a) of the Act and/or 

4975(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code 

of 1986 (the Code) does not relieve a 

fiduciary or other party in interest with 

respect to a plan to which the 

exemption is applicable from certain 

other provisions of the Act and/or the 

Code. These provisions include any 

prohibited transaction provisions to 

which the exemption does not apply 

and the general fiduciary provisions of 

section 404 of the Act which, among 

other things, requires a fiduciary to 

discharge his or her duties respecting 

the plan solely in the interests 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) The exemption is supplemental to, 

and not in derogation of, any other 

provisions of the Act and/or Code, 

including statutory or administrative 

exemptions and transitional rules. 

Furthermore, the fact that a transaction 

is subject to an administrative or
