Title: Civil Penalty for Failure to Furnish Certain Plan Documents | |
Abstract: This rulemaking will implement the enforcement aspects of amendments to title I of ERISA made by section 1503 of the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 (Public Law 105-34) which, while eliminating the requirement that plan administrators file summary plan descriptions (SPDs), summaries of material modifications (SMMs) and updated SPDs with the Department of Labor, also provided that administrators must furnish copies of any documents relating to the plan, including but not limited to SPDs, to the Department on request. In particular, this rulemaking will implement the amendments that authorize the Secretary of Labor to assess a civil penalty of up to $100 a day, up to a maximum of $1,000 per request, against a plan administrator who fails to furnish the requested documents on a timely basis. | |
