SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Pursuant to 10 CFR 2.106, the Nuclear
Regulatory Commission (NRC) is
providing notice of the issuance of
License Amendment 19 to Material
License No. 42–23539–01AF to
Department of the Air Force, to
authorize the release of four OT–10
training sites at Kirtland Air Force Base,
Albuquerque, New Mexico for
unrestricted use. The Department of the
Air Force’s request for an amendment to
authorize decommissioning of its four
OT–10 training sites was previously
notice in the Federal Register on June
22, 2001 (66 FR 33579) with a notice of
an opportunity to request a hearing.
The Department of the Air Force
provided a final radiological status
survey report to demonstrate the OT–10
site meets the license termination
criteria in Subpart E of 10 CFR Part 20.
In addition, NRC staff conducted
independent radiological measurements
of soils and surfaces at the site. The
NRC staff has evaluated the Department
of the Air Force’s request, reviewed the
results of the final radiological survey,
and determined that the four OT–10
training sites: TS5, TS6, TS7, and TS8,
including building 28010 but excluding
building 28005, meet the unrestricted
use dose criteria in 10 CFR 20.1402. The
Commission has concluded that the
respective OT–10 training sites as
specified, are suitable for release for
unrestricted use.
This license amendment complies
with the standards and requirements of
the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as
amended, and NRC’s rules and
regulations set forth in 10 CFR Chapter
1. Accordingly, this license amendment
was issued on December 12, 2005, and
is effective immediately.
II. Further Information
The NRC has prepared a Final Safety
Evaluation Report (SER), December
2005, which documents the information
that was reviewed and NRC’s
conclusion. In accordance with 10 CFR
2.390 of the NRC’s ‘‘Rules of Practice,’’
details with respect to this action,
including the SER and accompanying
documentation included in the license
amendment package, are available

rates and assumptions are published

part 4007 and for underpayments and
overpayments of single-employer plan
termination liability under part 4062
and multiemployer withdrawal liability
under part 4219 apply to interest
accruing during the first quarter

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Variable-Rate Premiums
Section 4006(a)(3)(E)(iii)(II) of the
Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974 (ERISA) and § 4006.4(b)(1)
of the PBGC’s regulation on Premium
Rates (29 CFR part 4006) prescribe use
of an assumed interest rate (the
‘‘required interest rate’’) in determining
a single-employer plan’s variable-rate
premium. The required interest rate is
the ‘‘applicable percentage’’ (currently
85 percent) of the annual yield on 30year Treasury securities for the month
preceding the beginning of the plan year
for which premiums are being paid (the
‘‘premium payment year’’). (Although
the Treasury Department has ceased
issuing 30-year securities, the Internal
Revenue Service announces a surrogate
yield figure each month—based on the
30-year Treasury bond maturing in
February 2031—which the PBGC uses to
determine the required interest rate.)
The required interest rate to be used in
determining variable-rate premiums for
premium payment years beginning in
January 2006 is 3.95 percent (i.e., 85
percent of the 4.65 percent Treasury
Securities Rate for December 2005).
The Pension Funding Equity Act of
2004 (‘‘PFEA’’)—under which the
required interest rate is 85 percent of the
annual rate of interest determined by
the Secretary of the Treasury on
amounts invested conservatively in
long-term investment grade corporate
bonds for the month preceding the
beginning of the plan year for which
premiums are being paid—applies only
for premium payment years beginning
in 2004 or 2005. Congress is considering
legislation that would extend the PFEA
PO 00000
Frm 00100
Fmt 4703

rate for one more year. If legislation that
changes the rules for determining the
required interest rate for plan years
beginning in January 2006 is adopted,
the PBGC will promptly publish a
Federal Register notice with the new
rate.
The following table lists the required
interest rates to be used in determining
variable-rate premiums for premium
payment years beginning between
February 2005 and January 2006.
For premium payment
years beginning in:

Late Premium Payments;
Underpayments and Overpayments of
Single-Employer Plan Termination
Liability
Section 4007(b) of ERISA and
§ 4007.7(a) of the PBGC’s regulation on
Payment of Premiums (29 CFR part
4007) require the payment of interest on
late premium payments at the rate
established under section 6601 of the
Internal Revenue Code. Similarly,
§ 4062.7 of the PBGC’s regulation on
Liability for Termination of SingleEmployer Plans (29 CFR part 4062)
requires that interest be charged or
credited at the section 6601 rate on
underpayments and overpayments of
employer liability under section 4062 of
ERISA. The section 6601 rate is
established periodically (currently
quarterly) by the Internal Revenue
Service. The rate applicable to the first
quarter (January through March) of
2006, as announced by the IRS, is 7
percent.
