30 day notice for adding fund

Having a debate...is 30 day notice required to participants in the event you are only adding a fund to a plan, with no mapping? We believe the requirement is only surrounding a blackout period, but certain recordkeepers are telling are clients it's a requirement when even just adding a fund.

The record keepers who are saying that are taking a conservative position that the fee disclosure on the new fund needs to be distributed to participants 30 days prior to making a core fund. I'm not sure if I agree with them but that's the position they are taking.

edit - for correct number of days
