SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Section 135.211 was added to Title 14
of the Code of Federal Regulations on
October 10, 1978 (43 FR 46783).
Paragraph (a)(2) of this section
originally contained a cross-reference to
paragraph (f) of 14 CFR 91.116, which
addressed the use of radar in instrument
approach procedures for landings. On
August 18, 1989, 14 CFR part 91 was
revised (54 FR 34294). As part of the
revision, the information previously
contained in § 91.116 transferred to
§ 91.175. The information formerly in
§ 91.116(f) became § 91.175(i). A second
amendment on that same day amended
§ 135.211(a)(2) to change the crossreference from § 91.116 to § 91.175 (54
FR 34332). However, the Regional Air
Cargo Carriers Association informed the
FAA that the reference to paragraph (f)
was not changed to paragraph (i), as it
should have been. As a result, the
current regulations mistakenly refer
readers to paragraph (f) of § 91.175,
which addresses the minimum weather
conditions for takeoffs under instrument
flight rules, instead of paragraph (i) of
§ 91.175, which addresses the use of
radar in instrument approach
procedures for landings. This inaccurate
cross-reference may cause confusion for
pilots who are looking for the guidance
on the use of radar when landing.
Therefore, the FAA is amending
§ 135.211(a)(2) to correct this crossreference.
Technical Amendment
This technical amendment will
correct the cross-reference in
§ 135.211(a)(2) to properly refer to
§ 91.175(i).
Justification for Immediate Adoption
Because this action corrects an
incorrect paragraph reference, the FAA
finds that notice and public comment
under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) is unnecessary.
For the same reason, the FAA finds that
good cause exists under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)
for making this rule effective upon
publication.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
PBGC’s regulations prescribe actuarial
assumptions—including interest
assumptions—for valuing and paying
plan benefits of terminating singleemployer plans covered by title IV of
the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974. The interest
assumptions are intended to reflect
current conditions in the financial and
annuity markets.
Three sets of interest assumptions are
prescribed: (1) A set for the valuation of
benefits for allocation purposes under
section 4044 (found in Appendix B to
Part 4044), (2) a set for the PBGC to use
to determine whether a benefit is
payable as a lump sum and to determine
lump-sum amounts to be paid by the
PBGC (found in Appendix B to Part
4022), and (3) a set for private-sector
pension practitioners to refer to if they
wish to use lump-sum interest rates
determined using the PBGC’s historical
methodology (found in Appendix C to
Part 4022).
This amendment (1) adds to
Appendix B to Part 4044 the interest
assumptions for valuing benefits for
allocation purposes in plans with
valuation dates during May 2008, (2)
adds to Appendix B to Part 4022 the
interest assumptions for the PBGC to
use for its own lump-sum payments in
plans with valuation dates during May
2008, and (3) adds to Appendix C to
Part 4022 the interest assumptions for
private-sector pension practitioners to

refer to if they wish to use lump-sum
interest rates determined using the
PBGC’s historical methodology for
valuation dates during May 2008.
For valuation of benefits for allocation
purposes, the interest assumptions that
the PBGC will use (set forth in
Appendix B to part 4044) will be 5.81
percent for the first 20 years following
the valuation date and 4.88 percent
thereafter. These interest assumptions
represent an increase (from those in
effect for April 2008) of 0.17 percent for
the first 20 years following the valuation
date and 0.17 percent for all years
thereafter.
The interest assumptions that the
PBGC will use for its own lump-sum
payments (set forth in Appendix B to
part 4022) will be 3.25 percent for the
period during which a benefit is in pay
status and 4.00 percent during any years
preceding the benefit’s placement in pay
status. These interest assumptions
represent no change from those in effect
for April 2008. For private-sector
payments, the interest assumptions (set
forth in Appendix C to part 4022) will
be the same as those used by the PBGC
for determining and paying lump sums
(set forth in Appendix B to part 4022).
The PBGC has determined that notice
and public comment on this amendment
are impracticable and contrary to the
public interest. This finding is based on
the need to determine and issue new
interest assumptions promptly so that
the assumptions can reflect current
market conditions as accurately as
possible.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
After the 2004 and 2005 hurricane
seasons, there was significant damage to
the oil and gas infrastructure. There
were 123 fixed structures destroyed, one
floating facility destroyed, and
significant damage to dozens of other
fixed and floating structures. The
offshore oil and gas industry operating
in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) realized
that there was a disparity in the
metocean criteria in American
Petroleum Institute’s (API)
Recommended Practice (RP) 2A–WSD,
Recommended Practice for Planning,
Designing, and Constructing Fixed
Offshore Platforms—Working Stress
Design, for the central GOM. The
metocean criteria are the standards to
which structures are designed and
assessed to withstand certain
meteorological events involving wind,
wave, current, and surge. Following the
2005 hurricane season, MMS, the API,
and other industry representatives
worked collectively to produce the API
hurricane bulletins to increase the
survivability of Outer Continental Shelf
(OCS) structures during hurricanes.
Each hurricane bulletin updates
criteria contained within current MMS
incorporated-by-reference API
documents. The MMS will incorporate
the following API Bulletins in § 250.901:
• BULLETIN 2INT–MET, Interim
Guidance on Hurricane Conditions in
the Gulf of Mexico, updates hurricane
metocean conditions (wind, wave,
current, and surge) documented in
Sections 2.3.4.c and 17.6.2.a of API RP

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The PBGC's regulations prescribe actuarial

plan benefits of terminating single-employer plans covered by title IV
of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The interest
assumptions are intended to reflect current conditions in the financial
and annuity markets.
Three sets of interest assumptions are prescribed: (1) A set for
the valuation of benefits for allocation purposes under section 4044
(found in Appendix B to Part 4044), (2) a set for the PBGC to use to
determine whether a benefit is payable as a lump sum and to determine
lump-sum amounts to be paid by the PBGC (found in Appendix B to Part
4022), and (3) a set for private-sector pension practitioners to refer
to if they wish to use lump-sum interest rates determined using the
PBGC's historical methodology (found in Appendix C to Part 4022).
This amendment (1) adds to Appendix B to Part 4044 the interest
assumptions for valuing benefits for allocation purposes in plans with
valuation dates during May 2008, (2) adds to Appendix B to Part 4022
the interest assumptions for the PBGC to use for its own lump-sum
payments in plans with valuation dates during May 2008, and (3) adds to
Appendix C to Part 4022 the interest assumptions for private-sector
pension practitioners to refer to if they wish to use lump-sum interest
rates determined using the PBGC's historical methodology for valuation
dates during May 2008.
For valuation of benefits for allocation purposes, the interest
assumptions that the PBGC will use (set forth in Appendix B to part

valuation date and 4.88 percent thereafter. These interest assumptions
represent an increase (from those in effect for April 2008) of 0.17
percent for the first 20 years following the valuation date and 0.17
percent for all years thereafter.
The interest assumptions that the PBGC will use for its own lump-
sum payments (set forth in Appendix B to part 4022) will be 3.25
percent for the period during which a benefit is in pay status and 4.00
percent during any years preceding the benefit's placement in pay
status. These interest assumptions represent no change from those in
effect for April 2008. For private-sector payments, the interest
assumptions (set forth in Appendix C to part 4022) will be the same as
those used by the PBGC for determining and paying lump sums (set forth
in Appendix B to part 4022).
The PBGC has determined that notice and public comment on this
amendment are impracticable and contrary to the public interest. This
finding is based on the need to determine and issue new interest
assumptions promptly so that the assumptions can reflect current market
conditions as accurately as possible.
Because of the need to provide immediate guidance for the valuation
