DOL/EBSA RIN: 1210-AB64 Publication ID: Fall 2022 
Title: Adoption of Amended and Restated Voluntary Fiduciary Correction Program 
Abstract:

The Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA) is amending and restating its Voluntary Fiduciary Correction Program (VFCP) under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), which originally was adopted in 2002 and revised in 2005 and 2006. The VFCP is designed to encourage the voluntary correction of fiduciary violations by permitting persons to avoid potential civil actions and civil penalties if they take steps to correct identified violations in a manner consistent with the VFCP. The amendments will expand the scope of some transactions currently eligible for correction and streamline correction procedures for certain others. EBSA will issue a restatement of the VFCP in its entirety and request public comments.  EBSA also will propose an amendment to the related prohibited transaction class exemption.
