SUMMARY: This notice announces the

Agency’s final decision on the Canadian

Standards Association application for

expansion of its recognition as a

Nationally Recognized Testing

Laboratory (NRTL) under 29 CFR

1910.7.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Notice of Final Decision

The Canadian Standards Association

previously made application pursuant

to section 6(b) of the Occupational

Safety and Health Act of 1970, (84 Stat.

1593, 29 U.S.C. 655), Secretary of

Labor’s Order No. 1–90 (55 FR 9033),

and 29 CFR 1910.7, for recognition of its

Rexdale (Toronto) facility as a

Nationally Recognized Testing

Laboratory (see 57 FR 23429, 6/3/92;

amended 57 FR 48804, 10/28/92), and

was so recognized (see 57 FR 61452, 12/

Final Decision and Order

Based upon the facts found as part of

the Canadian Standards Association’s

original recognition, including details of

necessary test equipment, procedures,

and special apparatus or facilities

needed, adequacy of the staff, the

application, amendments, and

documentation submitted by the

applicant, the OSHA staff finding

including the original On-Site Review

Report, as well as the evaluation of the

current request, OSHA finds that the

Canadian Standards Association has

met the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7

for expansion of its present recognition

to test and certify certain equipment or

materials.

Pursuant to the authority in 29 CFR

1910.7, the CSA’s recognition is hereby

expanded to include the 31 additional

test standards (product categories) cited

below, subject to the conditions listed

below. This recognition is limited to

equipment or materials which, under 29

CFR Part 1910, require testing, listing,

labeling, approval, acceptance, or

certification by a Nationally Recognized

Testing Laboratory. This recognition is

limited to the use of the following 31

additional test standards for the testing

and certification of equipment or

materials included within the scope of

these standards.

CSA has stated that these standards

are used to test equipment or materials

which can be used in environments

under OSHA’s jurisdiction, and OSHA

has determined that they are

appropriate within the meaning of 29

CFR 1910.7(c).

Proposed Class Exemption for Plan

Asset Transactions Determined by InHouse Asset Managers

AGENCY: Pension and Welfare Benefits

Administration, Labor.

ACTION: Notice of proposed class

exemption.

SUMMARY: This document contains a

notice of pendency before the

Department of Labor (the Department) of

a proposed class exemption from certain

prohibited transaction restrictions of the

Employee Retirement Income Security

Act (ERISA or the Act) and from certain

taxes imposed by the Internal Revenue

Code of 1986 (the Code). If granted, the

proposed exemption would exempt

various transactions involving employee

benefit plans whose assets are managed

by in-house managers (INHAMS),

provided that the conditions of the

proposal are met. The proposed

exemption, if granted, would affect

participants and beneficiaries of

employee benefit plans, the sponsoring

employers of such plans, INHAMS, and

other persons engaging in the described

transactions.

DATES: Written comments and requests

for a hearing must be received by the

Department on or before May 8, 1995.

ADDRESSES: All written comments and

requests for a public hearing (preferably

3 copies) should be sent to: Pension and

Welfare Benefits Administration, Office

of Exemption Determinations, Room N–

5649, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

document contains a notice of pendency

before the Department of a proposed

class exemption from certain of the

restrictions of sections 406 and 407(a) of

ERISA and from certain taxes imposed

by section 4975(a) and (b) of the Code,

by reason of section 4975(c)(1) of the

Code. The proposed exemption was

requested in an application dated

December 16, 1993, submitted by the

Committee on Investment of Employee

Benefits Assets (CIEBA) 1 pursuant to

section 408(a) of ERISA and section

4975(c)(2) of the Code, and in

accordance with the procedures set

forth in 29 CFR section 2570 subpart B

(55 FR 32836, August 10, 1990).2

I. Background

On March 13, 1984, the Department

granted Prohibited Transaction

Exemption 84–14 (PTE 84–14) (49 FR

9494), a class exemption which permits

various parties who are related to

employee benefit plans to engage in

transactions involving plan assets if,

among other conditions, the assets are

managed by a ‘‘qualified professional

asset manager’’ (QPAM), which is

independent of the parties in interest

and which meets specified financial

standards. Additional exemptive relief

is provided for employers to furnish

limited amounts of goods and services

in the ordinary course of business.

Limited relief is also provided for leases

of office or commercial space between

managed funds and QPAMs or

contributing employers.

The QPAM exemption was proposed

by the Department on its own motion in

an effort to give institutional managers

greater flexibility to engage in a variety

of beneficial transactions which would

otherwise have been prohibited by

ERISA, without sacrificing the interests

of plan participants and beneficiaries. In

its proposal for the QPAM exemption,

the Department noted its belief that, as

a general matter, transactions entered

into on behalf of plans with parties in

interest are most likely to conform to

ERISA’s general fiduciary standards

where the decision to enter into the

transaction is made by an independent

fiduciary. Thus, the relief contained in

the QPAM exemption was predicated

upon the existence of a professional

asset manager who is solely responsible

for the discretionary management of

plan assets that are transferred to its

control.

The QPAM exemption did not

provide relief for transactions involving

the assets of plans managed by in-house

asset managers. Nonetheless, in granting

the QPAM exemption, the Department

noted that the grant of the QPAM

exemption did not foreclose future

consideration of additional exemptive

relief for transactions involving plan

assets that are not managed by

‘‘QPAMs’’ or for transactions which do

not meet all of the conditions of PTE

84–14. The Department further stated

that it would consider pursuing

additional exemptive relief for

transactions involving assets of plans

managed by in-house managers if the

requisite findings under section 408(a)

could be made.

CIEBA, in its application, has

requested exemptive relief for in-house

managers similar to that available to

outside managers under the QPAM

exemption. CIEBA represents that inhouse managers encounter technical

problems under the prohibited

transaction rules of ERISA in the course

of considering arm’s-length transactions

that would be in the interests of their

plans. The applicant believes that the

narrowly focused relief requested,

combined with the conditions and

restrictions built into the exemption,
