"This final regulation establishes the requirements for registering with the [DOL] as a 'pooled plan provider' for 'pooled employer plans' under [ERISA]. The [SECURE Act] provides that newly permitted pooled plan providers can begin offering pooled employer plans on January 1, 2021, but requires such persons to register with the Secretary of Labor before beginning operations. This final regulation also establishes a new form -- EBSA Form PR (Pooled Plan Provider Registration) -- as the required filing format for pooled plan provider registrations. The Form PR must be filed electronically with the [DOL]. Filing the Form PR with the [DOL] also satisfies the SECURE Act requirement to register with the Department of the Treasury.... This final regulation is effective on [the date of its publication in the Federal Register, scheduled for Nov. 16, 2020]."  MORE >>
