Other technical amendments also are being made to improve the efficiency and operation of the Abandoned Plan Program. The amendments will affect employee benefit plans (primarily small defined contribution plans), participants and beneficiaries, service providers, and individuals appointed to serve as bankruptcy trustees under chapter 7 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

The proposed amendments also would make conforming changes to the registration, communication, and offering process for certain business development companies and registered closed-end investment companies that register securities on Form N-2. We also are proposing to amend the communication rules to permit broad-based advertising for certain insurance products.
