Procedure 75–1 for applications for
prohibited transaction exemptions filed
on or after September 10, 1990 (29 CFR
2570.30 et seq.).
On July 31, 1996, the Department
published in the Federal Register,
Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption
96–62 that provides for accelerated
approval of an exemption permitting a
plan to engage in a transaction which
might otherwise be prohibited following
a demonstration to the Department that
the transaction: (1) Is substantially
similar in all material respects to at least
two other transactions for which the
Department recently granted
administrative relief from the same
restriction; and (2) presents little, if any,
opportunity for abuse or risk of loss to
a plan’s participants and beneficiaries.
Under the class exemption, a party may
proceed with a transaction in as little as
78 days from the acknowledgment of
receipt by the Department of a written
submission filed in accordance with the
terms of the class exemption.
In 2002, the DOL amended the
exemption to clarify that it covers
‘‘plans’’ as described in Code Section
4975(e)(1), such as IRAs and Keogh
Plans, and that the scope of the
exemption is not limited to Title I
ERISA covered plans.
Additionally, in 2003 the DOL
amended the exemption to permit
parties to base their submissions on
substantially similar transactions
described either in two individual
exemptions granted within the past 60
months, or in one individual exemption
granted within the last 120 months and
one transaction that received final
authorization under the exemption
within the past 60 months. The
Department has received approval from
OMB for this ICR under OMB Control
No. 1210–0098. The current approval is
scheduled to expire on October 31,
2020.

the circumstances under which pension
plans may suspend pension benefit
payments to retirees who return to work
or to participants who continue to work
beyond normal retirement age. This
section sets forth the circumstances and
conditions under which such benefit
payments may be suspended.
This regulation, which was issued on
January 27, 1981, amended on
December 4, 1981, and corrected on
December 11, 1981, generally describes
the manner and circumstances under
which retirement benefits may be
suspended during periods of
employment subsequent to retirement.
The rule also clarifies that the normal
retirement benefit of a participant who
continues working beyond the plan’s
normal retirement age may also be
considered to be suspended even
though no act of retirement has
occurred.
In order for a plan to suspend benefits
pursuant to the regulation, it must
notify the affected retiree or participant
during the first calendar month or
payroll period in which the plan
withholds payment that benefits are
suspended. Requests for such reviews
may be considered in accordance with
the claims procedure adopted by the
plan pursuant to Section 503 of the Act
and applicable regulations. The notice
must include the specific reasons for
such suspension, a general description
of the plan provisions authorizing the
suspension, a copy of the relevant plan
provisions, and a statement indicating
where the applicable regulations may be
found, i.e., 29 CFR 2530.203–3. In
addition, the suspension notification
must inform the retiree or participant of
the plan’s procedure for affording a
review of the suspension of benefits.
The Department has received approval
from OMB for this ICR under OMB
Control No. 1210–0048. The current
approval is scheduled to expire on
December 31, 2020.

January 23, 1981, exempts from the
prohibited transaction restrictions the
investment of plan assets in certain
short-term investments in debt
obligations issued by certain persons
who provide services to the plan or are
affiliated with such service providers.
PTE 81–8 covers four types of shortterm investments: banker’s acceptances,
commercial paper, repurchase
agreements and certificates of deposit
and contains specific conditions for
each type of investment. PTE 81–8 was
amended on April 9, 1985, to add a new
category of permissible investmentssecurities issued by banks or their
affiliates in cases where the bank is a
party in interest only by reason of the
furnishing of a checking account or
related services (such as clearing and
recordkeeping services) to the list of
acceptable short-term investments in the
existing class exemption. In addition,
PTE 81–8 was amended to expand the
category of sellers with whom the plan
may enter into repurchase agreements to
include dealers in bank acceptances
who report their security positions on a
daily basis to the Federal Reserve Bank
of New York. The Department has
received approval from OMB for this
ICR under OMB Control No. 1210–0061.
The current approval is scheduled to

Appropriations Act, 2020 waives the
competition requirement, and the
Secretary is using the discretionary
formula rationale and methodology for
allocating PY 2020 funds for the
Outlying Areas (American Samoa,
Guam, the Commonwealth of the
Northern Mariana Islands, the Republic
of Palau, and the United States Virgin
Islands) that was published in the
Federal Register at 65 FR 8236 (Feb. 17,
2000). WIOA specifically included the
Republic of Palau as an Outlying Area,
except during any period for which the
Secretary of Labor and the Secretary of
Education determine that a Compact of
Free Association is in effect and
contains provisions for training and
education assistance prohibiting the
assistance provided under WIOA; no
such determinations prohibiting
assistance have been made. The formula
that the Department of Labor
(Department) used for PY 2020 is the
same formula used in PY 2019 and is
described in the section on Youth
Activities program allotments. The
Department invites comments only on
the formula used to allot funds to the
Outlying Areas.
The Department is announcing WIOA
allotments for PY 2020 for Youth
Activities, Adults and Dislocated
Worker Activities, Wagner-Peyser Act

information on the amount of funds
available during PY 2020 to states with
an approved WIOA Combined or

regarding allotments to the Outlying
Areas.

Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020,
Public Law 116–94 was signed into law
(‘‘the Act’’). The Act, Division A, Title
I, Sections 106(b) and 107 of the Act

discretionary appropriation for activities
related to program integrity and 0.75
