{"abstract":"This document contains a notice of pendency before the Department of Labor (the Department) of a proposed individual exemption, which, if granted, would amend PTE 99-34 (64 FR 46419, August 25, 1999), an exemption granted to The Chase Manhattan Bank (CMB). PTE 99-34 permits the lending of securities to affiliates of The Chase Manhattan Corporation (CMC) by employee benefit plans, including commingled investment funds holding plan assets for which CMC affiliates act as directed trustee or custodian and securities lending agent or subagent, and the receipt of compensation in connection with the transactions. The amendment, if granted, would apply to JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (JPMCB), a successor organization to CMB, and would extend the provisions of PTE 99-34 to certain transactions with affiliates of the Bear Stearns Companies Inc. (Bear Stearns). If granted, the proposed amendment would affect participants and beneficiaries and fiduciaries of employee benefit plans to which affiliates of JPMCB act as securities lending agent or sub-agent and may also act as custodian or directed trustee.","action":"Notice of proposed amendment to individual exemption.","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":"Employee Benefits Security Administration","name":"Employee Benefits Security Administration","id":131,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/employee-benefits-security-administration","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/131","parent_id":271,"slug":"employee-benefits-security-administration"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2008/10/23/E8-25235.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"73 FR 63200","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Effective Date: Except as otherwise specified herein, the amendment, if granted, will be effective as of August 25, 1999.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["Application No. D-11471"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"E8-25235","effective_on":"1999-08-25","end_page":63209,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"explanation":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2008/10/23/E8-25235.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2008/10/23/E8-25235/notice-of-proposed-amendment-prohibited-transaction-exemption-pte-99-34-involving-the-chase","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/E8-25235?publication_date=2008-10-23","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2008-10-23/E8-25235/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":10,"page_views":{"count":147,"last_updated":"2026-04-04 18:15:03 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2008-10-23/pdf/E8-25235.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":null,"publication_date":"2008-10-23","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2008/10/23/E8-25235.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2011-11-15T01:21:10Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":63200,"subtype":null,"title":"Notice of Proposed Amendment; Prohibited Transaction Exemption (PTE) 99-34 Involving the Chase Manhattan Bank/JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association","toc_doc":"Chase Manhattan Bank/JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association","toc_subject":"Prohibited Transaction Exemption:","topics":[],"type":"Notice","volume":73}
