Abstract:
Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 84–14 permits a party that is related to an employee benefit plan to engage in transactions involving plan assets if, among other conditions, the assets are managed by a qualified professional asset manager (QPAM) that is independent of the parties in interest. Additional relief is also available under specific circumstances that are fully addressed within the exemption. The information collection requirements that are conditions of the exemption include written policies and procedures by a QPAM and audit requirements. An independent auditor uses the written policies and procedures to determine whether the QPAM is in compliance with the written policies and procedures and whether the exemption conditions have been met. These information collections are designed to safeguard participants and beneficiaries in plans that are involved in transactions covered by the exemption. The exemption does not require any reporting or filing with the Federal government.

Short Statement:
Although no program changes have been made, the Department is adjusting estimates of the burden of this exemption in two respects. First, the Department is revising its estimate of the number of respondents, based on more recent Form 5500 data. Second, the Department is revising its estimate of the wage costs due to increased labor costs and inflation. The apparent anomaly of a decrease in the number of responses while the number of burden hours and costs seem to have increased from the last submission results from the fact that the this information collection was only implemented in 2010 and all QPAMs, including those that were established, had to prepare written plans. Now, only new QPAMs must prepare such plans.
