Title: Elimination of Filing Requirements for Summary Plan Descriptions | |
Abstract: This rulemaking will remove from the CFR certain regulations that have been superseded by amendments to title I of ERISA effected by the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 (PL 105-34) that eliminate the requirement for plan administrators to file summary plan descriptions (SPDs), summaries of material modifications (SMMs), and updated SPDs with the Department of Labor. Under the amendments plan administrators must continue to furnish participants and beneficiaries with copies of these documents. Separate rulemakings (RIN: 1210-AA67 and 1210-AA68) will implement the Taxpayer Relief Act amendments that require plan administrators to furnish copies of SPDs and any other documents relating to the plan to the Department on request, and authorize the Secretary of Labor to assess a civil penalty for failure to do so. | |
