ERIC Comments on Reducing the Regulatory Burden on Benefit Plans (PDF)
"ERIC urged Treasury to be more responsive to easing the regulatory burden on sponsors of benefit plans to ensure that companies continue to provide health and retirement benefits, and cited the ongoing experience of sponsors of cash balance and other hybrid pensions plans as an example of the adverse consequences that misguided regulations can have."
(The ERISA Industry Committee)
