DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Administration
[Application No: D–10936]

Adoption of Amendment to Prohibited
Transaction Exemption 96–62 (PTE 96–
62) To Permit Certain Authorized
Transactions Between Plans and
Parties in Interest
AGENCY: Pension and Welfare Benefits
Administration, Department of Labor.
ACTION: Adoption of amendment to PTE
96–62.
SUMMARY: This document amends PTE
96–62 (61 FR 39988, July 31, 1996). PTE
96–62 permits certain prospective
transactions between employee benefit
plans and parties in interest where such
transactions are specifically authorized
by the Department and are subject to
terms, conditions and representations
which are substantially similar to two
individual exemptions granted by the
Department within the 60 month period
ending on the date of filing of a written
submission seeking authorization for the
transaction. The amendment affects
plans, participants and beneficiaries of
such plans and certain persons engaging
in such transactions.
EFFECTIVE DATE: This amendment is
effective July 3, 2002.

Exemption Determinations, Pension and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March
20, 2002, notice was published in the
Federal Register (67 FR 13019) of the
pendency before the Department of a
proposed amendment to PTE 96–62.
PTE 96–62 provides relief from a
restriction described in sections 406(a)

and 406(b) of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act (ERISA or the Act)
or a parallel restriction described in
section 8477(c)(2) of the Federal
Employees’ Retirement Systems Act
(FERSA), and from the taxes imposed by
section 4975(a) and (b) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986 (the Code), by
reason of a parallel provision described
in section 4975(c)(1)(A) through (F) of
the Code. The amendment adopted by
this notice was proposed by the
Department on its own motion pursuant
to section 408(a) of ERISA and section
4975(c)(2) of the Code and in
accordance with the procedures set
forth in 29 CFR part 2570, subpart B (55
FR 32836, August 10, 1990).1
The notice gave interested persons an
opportunity to comment or to request a
hearing on the proposed amendment.
No public comments or requests for a
hearing were received.
For the sake of convenience, the
entire text of PTE 96–62, as amended,
has been reprinted with this notice.
Description of the Exemption
Section I of PTE 96–62 provides relief
from certain of the restrictions described
in section 406(a) of ERISA and from the
taxes imposed by section 4975(a) and (b)
of the Code, by reason of a parallel
provision described in section
4975(c)(1)(A) through (D) of the Code,
for a transaction between a plan and a
party in interest with respect to such
plan, provided the conditions of the
exemption are met. Under section II,
additional relief is provided from
certain of the restrictions described in
section 406(b) of ERISA and the parallel
restrictions described in section
8477(c)(2) of FERSA, as well as from the
taxes imposed by section 4975(a) and (b)
of the Code, by reason of a parallel
provision described in section
4975(c)(1)(E) and (F). Sections I(a) and
II(a) require that the transaction be
substantially similar (as defined in
section IV(a) of PTE 96–62) to
transactions described in at least two
individual exemptions that were
granted by the Department, and which
provided relief from the same
restrictions as requested by the party,
within the 60-month period ending on
the date of filing of the written
submission.2
The amendment granted by this
notice expands sections I(a) and II(a) to
1 Section 102 of Reorganization Plan No. 4 of
1978 (5 U.S.C. App. 1 (1996)) generally transferred
the authority of the Secretary of the Treasury to
issue administrative exemptions under section
4975(c)(2) of the Code to the Secretary of Labor.
2 Section IV(a) defines the term ‘‘substantially
similar’’ to mean alike in all respects as determined
by the Department, in its sole discretion.

permit parties to either base their
submission on substantially similar
transactions described in two individual
exemptions granted within the past 60
months; or on one individual exemption
granted within the past 120 months and
one transaction which received final
authorization by the Department under
PTE 96–62 within the past 60 months
(the Authorized Transaction). The
Department believes that the alternate
method for satisfying the requirements
of sections I(a) and II(a) will continue to
ensure that the transactions that the
party compares to its proposed
transaction reflect the current policies of
the Department.3 The amendment also
adds a definition for the term
‘‘Authorized Transaction’’ in section
IV(g).
The Department notes that all other
conditions contained in PTE 96–62
must continue to be satisfied with
respect to those parties seeking to base
their submissions on an Authorized
Transaction rather than on two
substantially similar individual
exemptions. Accordingly, these parties
should submit, among other things, a
comparison of the proposed transaction
with the Authorized Transaction and
the transaction which was the subject of
the individual exemption, including an
explanation as to why any differences
should not be considered material.
General Information
The attention of interested persons is
directed to the following:
(1) The fact that a transaction is the
subject of an exemption under section
408(a) of the Act and section 4975(c)(2)
of the Code does not relieve a fiduciary
or other party in interest or disqualified
person from certain other provisions of
ERISA and the Code to which the
exemption does not expressly apply and
the general fiduciary provisions of
section 404 of ERISA. Section 404
requires, in part, that a fiduciary
discharge his or her duties respecting
the plan solely in the interest of
participants and beneficiaries of the
plan and in a prudent fashion in
3 The Department maintains, on its website
(www.dol.gov/pwba) a list of Authorized
Transactions. This list includes the following
information: The final authorization numbers, the
name of the applicants, a description of the
transactions, and the grant numbers and Federal
Register citations of the exemptions on which the
submissions were based. Parties wishing to base
their submissions on an Authorized Transaction
will be able to refer to the submissions previously
filed by parties under PTE 96–62 and to the two
granted individual exemptions identified as
substantially similar for additional information
regarding the subject transactions.

accordance with section 404(a)(1)(B) of
ERISA. This exemption, if granted, does
not affect the requirement of section
401(a) of the Code that a plan must
operate for the exclusive benefit of the
employees of the employer maintaining
the plan and their beneficiaries;
(2) The Department finds that the
exemption is administratively feasible,
in the interests of the plan(s) and of
participants and beneficiaries, and
protective of the rights of the
participants and beneficiaries of the
plan(s);
(3) This amendment is supplemental
to and not in derogation of any other
provisions of ERISA or the Code,
including statutory or administrative
exemptions and transitional rules.
Furthermore, the fact that a transaction
is subject to an administrative or
statutory exemption is not dispositive of
whether the transaction is in fact a
prohibited transaction; and
(4) The amendment is applicable to a
transaction only if the transaction
satisfies the conditions specified in the
class exemption.
Exemption
Accordingly, PTE 96–62 is amended
under the authority of section 408(a) of
ERISA, section 4975(c)(2) of the Code
and section 8477(c)(3) of FERSA, and in
accordance with the procedures set
forth in 29 CFR 2570, subpart B (55 FR

of a parallel provision described in
section 4975(c)(1)(A) through (D) of the
Code, shall not apply to a transaction
between a plan and a party in interest
with respect to such plan, provided the
following conditions are met:
(a) The transaction is substantially
similar (as defined in section IV(a)) to
transactions described in: (a) At least
two individual exemptions that were
granted by the Department, and
provided relief from the same

ending on the date of filing of the

individual exemption that was granted

(b) of the Code, by reason of a parallel
provision described in section
4975(c)(1)(E) and (F) of the Code, shall
not apply to a transaction between a
plan and a party in interest with respect
to such plan, provided the following
conditions are met:

similar (as defined in section IV(a)) to
transactions described in: (a) At least

filing of the written submission referred
to in section III(a); or (b) effective July
3, 2002, one individual exemption that

III(a), and at least one Authorized
Transaction (as defined in section IV(g));

or loss to the plan participants and

described in section III;

granted exemptions identified in the
