Fiduciary Requirements for Disclosure in Participant-Directed Individual Account Plans--Timing of Annual Disclosure
AGENCY: Employee Benefits Security Administration, Department of Labor.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document proposes to amend the Department of Labor's ``participant-level fee disclosure'' regulation by making a technical adjustment to an annual timing requirement. In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this issue of the Federal Register, we are making this same amendment as a direct final rule. If we receive no significant adverse comment, the direct final rule will go into effect and we will not take further action on this proposed rule. If, however, we receive significant adverse comment, we will withdraw the direct final rule and it will not take effect. In that case, we will address all public comments in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. We will not institute a second comment period on this rule. Any parties interested in commenting must do so during this comment period.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before April 20, 2015.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by RIN 1210-AB68 (Fiduciary Requirements for Disclosure in Participant-Directed Individual Account Plans--Timing of Annual Disclosure), by one of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of today's Federal Register, the Department of Labor published a direct final rule that amends the definition of the term ``at least annually thereafter'' contained in 29 CFR 2550.404a-5(h)(1) by substituting the term ``14-month period'' for the term ``12-month period.'' This Federal Register notice incorporates by reference and proposes the same amendment contained in the direct final rule. Please refer to the preamble and the regulatory text of the direct final rule for details, including information and analyses under applicable Executive Orders, the Regulatory Flexibility Act, Paperwork Reduction Act, and Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.
Signed at Washington, DC, this 12th day of March 2015.

Assistant Secretary, Employee Benefits Security Administration, U.S. Department of Labor.
