SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April
28, 1975, the Department published
ERISA Procedure 75–1 in the Federal
Register, which provided the public
with information regarding the
procedure to follow when requesting an
exemption. On August 10, 1990, the
Department issued a regulation which
replaced ERISA Procedure 75–1 for
applications for prohibited transaction
exemptions filed on or after September
10, 1990 (29 CFR 2570.30 et seq.).
On July 31, 1996, the Department
published in the Federal Register,
Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption
96–62 that provides for accelerated
approval of an exemption permitting a
plan to engage in a transaction which
might otherwise be prohibited following
a demonstration to the Department that
the transaction: (1) Is substantially
similar in all material respects to at least
two other transactions for which the
Department recently granted
administrative relief from the same
restriction; and (2) presents little, if any,
opportunity for abuse or risk of loss to
a plan’s participants and beneficiaries.
Under the class exemption, a party may
proceed with a transaction in as little as
78 days from the acknowledgment of
receipt by the Department of a written
submission filed in accordance with the
terms of the class exemption.
In 2002, the DOL amended the
exemption to clarify that it covers
‘‘plans’’ as described in Code Section
4975(e)(1), such as IRAs and Keogh
Plans, and that the scope of the
exemption is not limited to Title I
ERISA covered plans. Additionally, in
2003 the DOL amended the exemption
to permit parties to base their
submissions on substantially similar
transactions described either in two
individual exemptions granted within
the past 60 months, or in one individual
exemption granted within the last 120
months and one transaction that
received final authorization under the
exemption within the past 60 months.
For additional substantive information
about this ICR, see the related notice
published in the Federal Register on
April 29, 2020 (85 FR 23856).
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless the OMB
approves it and displays a currently
valid OMB Control Number. In addition,
notwithstanding any other provisions of

PO 00000

Frm 00088

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

law, no person shall generally be subject
to penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information that does not
display a valid OMB Control Number.
See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
DOL seeks PRA authorization for this
information collection for three (3)
years. OMB authorization for an ICR
cannot be for more than three (3) years
without renewal. The DOL notes that
information collection requirements
submitted to the OMB for existing ICRs
receive a month-to-month extension
while they undergo review.
