headed by a Director (referred to in this Act as the ``Director'').
(b) Membership.--
(1) In general.--The Board shall consist of--
(A) 3 members appointed by the Secretary of the
Treasury;

enactment of this Act, the Director shall establish a program under
which--
(1) the Director shall invest the assets in each PRIA Basic
Account established under section 4 in a lifecycle fund
described in subsection (c); and
(2) the Director shall group PRIA Basic Accounts so
established into classes based on the year the beneficiary of
each such account will attain age 65.
Once a class of PRIA Basic Accounts contains, in the aggregate, enough
assets so that the establishment of a dedicated target date fund for
such class would be cost effective, the Director shall award (on a
rotating basis) to an entity certified under subsection (b) a contract
to act as trustee of all such accounts and to invest such accounts in a
lifecycle fund provided by the trustee as described in subsection (c).
(b) Certification of Trustees.--The Director may not award a
contract to an entity under subsection (a) unless the Director has
certified such entity under this subsection. The Director shall
establish certification criteria which shall include the following:

business model, experience, and training of the trustee and any
service providers that the trustee intends to use.
(2) Registration, licensing, and financial soundness
demonstrating that participant funds would be handled by a
regulated financial entity.
(3) Reputation and customer service, including records of
comments or complaints from employers and participants, timely
consideration and resolution of complaints filed, and
independent rating or accreditations.
(c) Lifecycle Fund.--A lifecycle fund described in this subsection
is a fund that--
(1) is comprised of an appropriate mix of index funds;
(2) is automatically adjusted over time during the time
horizon of the fund;
(3) strikes a balance between expected risk and return over
the time horizon of the fund; and
(4) has an initial target retirement date that is
consistent with retirement at age 65.
(d) Fiduciary Responsibility.--A trustee of a portable retirement
and investment account shall act as a fiduciary to the account holder
and shall discharge his duties with respect to the account in the sole
interest of the account holder under rules similar to those applicable

Income Security Act of 1974 (29 U.S.C. 1104).
(e) Contracts.--
(1) Number of contracts awarded, etc.--The Director shall
enter into contracts with 10 entities at any given time to
provide services under subsection (a), and shall not award a
contract to any entity which has an existing contract under
such subsection. Each such contract shall have a duration of 5
years.
(2) Consideration.--In awarding contracts to entities under
subsection (a), the Director shall consider--
(A) the specific composition of the lifecycle funds
provided by such trustee;
(B) the services to account holders offered by such
trustee, including available investment advice;
(C) the fees charged by such trustee; and

trustees.

maximum credit applicable to such individual under
section 32 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, the
