The United States Government Printing Office (GPO) was created in June 1860, and is an agency of the U.S. federal government based in Washington D.C. The office prints documents produced by and for the federal government, including Congress, the Supreme Court, the Executive Office of the President and other executive departments, and independent agencies. A hearing is a meeting of the Senate, House, joint or certain Government committee that is open to the public so that they can listen in on the opinions of the legislation. Hearings can also be held to explore certain topics or a current issue. It typically takes between two months up to two years to be published. This is one of those hearings.

In 2012, the Department of Labor (DOL) imposed new disclosure requirements concerning the indirect fees earned by 401(k) retirement plan service providers through revenue sharing agreements with mutual funds. This paper examines the impact of these fee disclosure requirements on the level and structure of fees paid by retirement plans. We argue that when revenue sharing is not disclosed in a prominent way, revenue sharing provides a way for service providers to price discriminate between larger, better informed plan sponsors and smaller less sophisticated sponsors. Consistent with this argument, we find that disclosure requirements designed to increase the transparency of indirect fees are associated with a substitution of direct fees for indirect fees and a reduction in total fees paid by smaller retirement plans. We also find that mutual fund providers responded to increased revenue sharing disclosure requirements by introducing retirement fund share classes with lower 12b-1 fees. Finally, we find that disclosure changes are associated with an increase in low-cost mutual funds offered as investment options by small plans.
