Short Statement:
This is a new collection of information, which is incorporated into an interim final rule that the Department is promulgating in response to statutory directives contained in the Pension Protection Act of 2006, which requires in section 611(g) that the Department issue regulations governing the content of the policies and procedures that an investment manager must have in place in order to engage in cross-trading of employee benefit plan securities. The information collection requirements of the final rule are third-party disclosures. The rule requires an investment manager to establish the specified policies and procedures pertaining to the investment managers cross-trading program under the statutory exemption for cross-trading and disclose them to the responsible plan fiduciary prior to engaging in the otherwise prohibited cross-trading. The exemption does not require any reporting or filing with the Federal government. The information will be used by the plan fiduciary to assess the initial and continued appropriateness of investing plan assets subject to a cross-trading program. The information will enable the plan fiduciary to fulfill its fiduciary duties under the plan and to protect plan assets on behalf of plan participants and beneficiaries. The burden estimate of the information disclosure was derived from information contained in the Form 5500 annual return/reports filed by employee benefit plans with the Department, together with estimates of the numbers of plans likely to engage investment managers that will have cross-trading programs. This information collection is mandated by Federal statute.
