## Abstract

This document implements the vacatur of the Department's 2016 final rule defining who is a "fiduciary" under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This document also reflects the removal of two prohibited transaction exemptions (PTEs 2016-01 and 2016-02) published with the 2016 final rule and the return of the amended prohibited transaction exemptions (PTEs 75-1, 77-4, 80-83, 83- 1, 84-24, and 86-128) to their pre-amendment form. In addition, this document reinstates Interpretive Bulletin 96-1.
