May 23, 2011

TO: PENSION COMMITTEE No. 19-11
PENSION OPERATIONS ADVISORY COMMITTEE No. 13-11 RE: E-DELIVERY RFI COMMENT LETTER; COMMENTS REQUESTED BY TUESDAY, MAY 31, NOON

 

As we discussed, attached is our draft comment letter responding to the Department of Labor’s request for information on e-delivery rules. [1]  Our letter recommends that the Department move away from its 2002 rule and allow plans to make e-delivery the general method for communicating with participants (unless participants opt for paper).  The letter sets out general principles for how and why the Department should accomplish this transition and responds to the specific questions in the RFI. 

Please submit your comments regarding the attached draft to the undersigned by noon on May 31st by email to adriggs@ici.org or phone at (202) 218-3573.
