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:
The Department is updating the estimation methodology to identify a QPAM. Because of this new methodology, the current estimated total number of respondents is considerably higher in comparison to the estimations presented in the proposal. The Department is also using more recent Form 5500 data (2020). Additionally, other things being equal, the Final Amendment removes some of the adds requirements proposed in the Proposed Amendment. The Department is also revising its estimate of the wage costs due to increased labor costs and inflation. The overall effect is a decrease in the total burden. As a result, the total number of responses has increased by 4,676 responses, the hour burden has decreased by 250,620 hours, and the cost burden has decreased by $108,749,247.
