Section 110 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) authorizes the Secretary of Labor to prescribe alternative methods of compliance with the reporting and disclosure requirements of title I of ERISA for pension plans, although simplified employee pensions (SEPs) are established in section 408(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. This regulation provides an alternative method of disclosure for sponsors of certain types of SEPs that is easier to comply with than otherwise required under ERISA.
