However, such plans require ongoing fiduciary attention, and employers often do not take full advantage of the opportunities to reduce ERISA fiduciary liability. The recently enacted Pension Protection Act of 2006 ("PPA") provides employers sponsoring 401(k) plans with new tools that may prove useful in to reducing fiduciary exposure.
