DOL Notes a Change to Recent Fee Disclosure Guidance
The Department of Labor’s Employee Benefits Security
Administration made a technical correction to the recently released Field
Assistance Bulletin No. 2012-02.
Reported by Rebecca Moore
The guidance contains frequently asked questions and answers about the department’s participant-level fee disclosure regulations. (See “DOL Issues Additional Guidance for Participant Fee Disclosures.”) A sentence in the answer to Question 19 concerning quarterly website updates to “average annual total return” information inadvertently referred to the most recently completed calendar “year” rather than the most recently completed calendar “quarter,” the DOL said.
The department corrected this error to accurately restate the requirements of the regulation. The word “calendar” also was removed from the phrase “… 10-calendar year periods …” in the same sentence.
The bulletin is available here.
