Abstract

This document gives notice of an amendment to prohibited transaction exemption (PTE) 2006-06, a class exemption issued under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). The exemption permits a "qualified termination administrator" (QTA) of an individual account pension plan that has been abandoned by its sponsoring employer to select itself to provide services to the plan in connection with the plan's termination and pay itself fees for the services. This amendment to PTE 2006-06 permits chapter 7 trustees who elect to be QTAs to rely on the exemption. This amendment to PTE 2006- 06 also permits "eligible designees" of such chapter 7 trustees to rely on the exemption. The amendment is issued in connection with amendments to three related regulations under ERISA, published elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, that provide streamlined procedures for the termination of, and distribution of benefits from, abandoned individual account pension plans. The amendment would affect employee pension benefit plans (primarily small defined contribution plans), participants and beneficiaries of such plans, service providers, and individuals appointed to serve as bankruptcy trustees under chapter 7 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.
