Abstract: EBSA is amending the regulations that establish procedures for terminating abandoned individual account pension plans and rolling over distributions for missing or unresponsive participants in terminating plans, as well as the prohibited transaction class exemption that permits a party that is terminating abandoned plan to receive payment out of plan assets and the related exemption that permits rollover of distributions from existing plans to be invested in proprietary vehicles under specified conditions. The amendments to these regulations and exemptions are intended to require the parties making rollover distributions for the benefit of nonspouse beneficiaries of missing participants to invest the rollover distributions in tax-favored vehicles made newly available to the nonspouse beneficiaries by amendments to the Tax Code enacted under the Pension Protection Act of 2006. These amendments do not affect the burden estimates previously approved by OMB for 1210-0127. EBSA is submitting this change worksheet to provide OMB with the changed collection instruments.
