{"abstract":"The Department of Labor adopts the Voluntary Fiduciary Correction Program (VFC Program or Program) by the Department of Labor's Pension and Welfare Benefits Administration (PWBA). The VFC Program allows certain persons to avoid potential Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA), civil actions initiated by the Department of Labor and the assessment of civil penalties under section 502(l) of ERISA in connection with investigation or civil action by the Department. The VFC Program is designed to benefit workers by encouraging the voluntary and timely correction of possible fiduciary breaches of Part 4 of Title I of ERISA.","action":null,"agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF LABOR","name":"Labor Department","id":271,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/labor-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/271","parent_id":null,"slug":"labor-department"},{"raw_name":"Pension and Welfare Benefits Administration","name":"Pension and Welfare Benefits Administration","id":404,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/pension-and-welfare-benefits-administration","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/404","parent_id":271,"slug":"pension-and-welfare-benefits-administration"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2002/03/28/02-7516.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"67 FR 15062","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"April 29, 2002.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":[],"dockets":[],"document_number":"02-7516","effective_on":null,"end_page":15083,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"explanation":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2002/03/28/02-7516.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2002/03/28/02-7516/adoption-of-voluntary-fiduciary-correction-program","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/02-7516?publication_date=2002-03-28","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2002-03-28/02-7516/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":22,"page_views":{"count":661,"last_updated":"2026-04-04 14:15:05 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2002-03-28/pdf/02-7516.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":null,"publication_date":"2002-03-28","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2002/03/28/02-7516.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{"1210-AA76":{"issue":"200110","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/regulations/1210-AA76/voluntary-fiduciary-correction-program-vfc-program-","title":"Voluntary Fiduciary Correction Program (VFC Program)","xml_url":"http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAgendaViewRule?pubId=200110&RIN=1210-AA76&operation=OPERATION_EXPORT_XML","priority_category":"Other Significant"}},"regulation_id_numbers":["1210-AA76"],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":true,"signing_date":null,"start_page":15062,"subtype":null,"title":"Adoption of Voluntary Fiduciary Correction Program","toc_doc":"Voluntary Fiduciary Correction Program","toc_subject":"Employee Retirement Income Security Act:","topics":[],"type":"Notice","volume":67}
