to penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information that does not
display a valid OMB Control Number.
See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
prohibited transaction described in
section 406(a)(1)(C) of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA)
generally prohibits the furnishing of
goods, services, or facilities between a
plan and a party in interest to the plan.
Since ERISA defines any person
furnishing services to the plan as a
‘‘party in interest’’ to the plan, a service
relationship between a plan and a
service provider would constitute a
prohibited transaction under section
406(a)(1)(C) in the absence of relief.
Section 408(b)(2) of ERISA provides
relief, however, for service contracts or
arrangements if the contract or
arrangement is ‘‘reasonable,’’ if the
services are necessary for the
establishment or operation of the plan,
and if no more than ‘‘reasonable’’
compensation is paid for the services.
For additional substantive information
about this ICR, see the related notice
published in the Federal Register on
March 31, 2021 (86 FR 16787).
