Multiemployer Plan Valuations
Following Mass Withdrawal
The PBGC’s regulation on Duties of
Plan Sponsor Following Mass
Withdrawal (29 CFR part 4281)
prescribes the use of interest
assumptions under the PBGC’s
regulation on Allocation of Assets in
Single-Employer Plans (29 CFR part
4044). The interest assumptions
applicable to valuation dates in
September 2005 under part 4044 are
contained in an amendment to part 4044
published elsewhere in today’s Federal
Register. Tables showing the
assumptions applicable to prior periods
are codified in appendix B to 29 CFR
part 4044.
Issued in Washington, DC, on this 8th day
of August, 2005.
