Title: Amendment of Section 404(c) Regulation--Disclosure
Abstract: This rulemaking will amend the regulations governing ERISA section 404(c) plans (29 CFR 2550.404c-1) to ensure that the participants and beneficiaries in such plans are provided the information they need, including information about fees and expenses, to make informed investment decisions. The section 404(c) regulation sets forth the conditions under which participants and beneficiaries are considered to be exercising control over the assets in their account, thereby relieving plan fiduciaries from liability for the results of the investment decisions of the participant or beneficiary. The regulation conditions rely on participants and beneficiaries being furnished or having access to certain information about their plan and the investment options offered thereunder. This amendment is needed to clarify and improve the information currently required to be furnished to participants and beneficiaries.
