Proposed Amendment to the Class Exemption for the Release of  Claims and Extensions of Credit in Connection With]]></title>

  <description><![CDATA[ This document contains a notice of a proposed amendment to a 
class exemption from certain prohibited transaction restrictions of the 
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA or the Act) and 
from certain taxes imposed by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as 
amended (the Code). The proposed amendment to the class exemption, PTE 
200339 (68 FR 75632, Dec. 31, 2003), would apply to transactions 
engaged in by a plan in connection with the settlement of litigation, 
including bankruptcy litigation. This amendment is being proposed in 
response to requests from practitioners and independent fiduciaries who 
sought an expansion of the types of consideration that plans could 
accept in connection with the settlement of litigation. The proposed 
exemption, if granted, would affect all employee benefit plans, the 
participants and beneficiaries of such plans, and parties in interest 
with respect to those plans engaging in the described transactions.
