"Given the significance of this proposed rule and the fact the proposed PTE relies heavily on the [SEC's] Regulation Best Interest, the Department, as it has in the past, should formally engage and seek input from the public.... A public hearing is critical to a thorough understanding in light of the reliance on another federal agency's regulation, as well as the numerous proposals and changes the Department has made over the past month in delineating ERISA's fiduciary duties. I also reiterate my previous request that the Department extend the 30-day comment period by an additional 60 days as the current comment period is inadequate to provide thoughtful analysis."
