ACTION:

Notice of Technical Correction.

On September 7, 2000, the Department published in the Federal Register (65 FR 54315) a final exemption which amends and replaces PTE 99-15 (64 FR 1648, April 5, 1999), an exemption granted to Salomon Smith Barney. PTE 99-15 relates to the operation of the TRAK Personalized Investment Advisory Service product (the TRAK Program) and the Trust for Consulting Group Capital Markets Funds (the Consulting Group).

On page 54316 of the grant notice, the last sentence of the third paragraph of the Supplementary Information, erroneously refers to an effective date of July 10, 2000 with respect to Section III(d) of the grant notice. Thus, the sentence should be revised to read as follows:

The Final Exemption is effective as of April 1, 2000 with respect to the amendments to Sections II(i) and III(b) of the grant notice and the inclusion of new Section III(d) of the grant notice.

Also on page 54316 of the grant notice, clause (c) of Footnote 1, should be revised as follows to describe more accurately the purpose of the automated reallocation option:

(c) adopted an automated reallocation option under the TRAK Program which would afford an Independent Plan Fiduciary the option of having his or her asset allocation adjusted automatically whenever the Consulting Group changes an allocation model;
