records of the trust.
(4) [If] WHENEVER a trustee files a schedule of
increased rates [as provided in] UNDER this subsection, the
trustee shall give notice to the ascertained beneficiaries of
each affected trust by the beginning of the fiscal year to which
the schedule applies. Any beneficiary of a trust who objects to

of the rates to be charged. The notice required by this
paragraph shall include a clear statement of the rights and
procedures available to beneficiaries under this subsection. If
the court finds that the rates in the schedule are unreasonable
for the current fiscal year of the particular trust, the
trustee's commissions for that trust for that fiscal year shall
be limited to the rates charged that trust during the previous
fiscal year.
(5) If a trustee does not file a schedule of rates
with the appropriate agency UNDER PARAGRAPH (2)(I) OR (II) OF
THIS SUBSECTION and DOES NOT notify ascertained beneficiaries as
[previously] provided in PARAGRAPH (4) OF this subsection, the
trustee is limited to charging the rates set forth in subsections
