ACTION: Final rule. dwashington3 on PRODPC61 with RULES AGENCY: SUMMARY: This is a final rule to implement section 506 of the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (Pub. L. 109–280) which amends sections 4041 and 4042 of ERISA. These amendments require that a plan administrator disclose information it has submitted to PBGC in VerDate Aug<31>2005 13:43 Nov 17, 2008 Jkt 217001 connection with a distress termination filing, and that a plan administrator or plan sponsor disclose information it has submitted to PBGC in connection with a PBGC-initiated termination. The new provisions also require PBGC to disclose the administrative record in a PBGCinitiated termination. The disclosures must be made to an affected party upon request. DATES: Effective December 18, 2008. For information about applicability of the amendments made by this rule, see Applicability in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kenneth Cooper, Assistant General Counsel; or Catherine Klion, Manager, Regulatory and Policy Division, Legislative and Regulatory Department, Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, 1200 K Street, NW., Washington, DC 20005–4026; 202–326–4024. (TTY/TDD users may call the Federal relay service toll-free at 1–800–877–8339 and ask to be connected to 202–326–4024.) SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (‘‘PBGC’’) administers the pension plan termination insurance program under Title IV of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 , as amended (‘‘ERISA’’), 29 U.S.C. 1301– 1461. Sections 4041 and 4042 of ERISA govern the termination of singleemployer defined benefit pension plans that are subject to Title IV. A plan administrator may initiate a distress termination by sending a notice of intent to terminate to all affected parties pursuant to section 4041(a)(2). Under section 4042 of ERISA, PBGC may itself initiate proceedings to terminate a pension plan if it determines that certain conditions are present. Under section 4041(c), a singleemployer plan may terminate in a distress termination if PBGC determines that the requirements of section 4041(c)(2)(B) are met. Before PBGC can make this determination, the plan administrator must provide certain information to PBGC pursuant to section 4041(c)(2)(A). Under § 4041.45(c) of PBGC’s regulation on Termination of Single Employer Plans, 29 CFR part 4041, PBGC may also require the submission of additional information. PBGC determines whether a plan meets the criteria for a distress termination or a PBGC-initiated termination through an informal adjudicatory process. If PBGC staff believe that a plan should be terminated, a written recommendation is prepared. With certain exceptions, the PO 00000 Frm 00043 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 68333 recommendation is then reviewed by the Trusteeship Working Group (‘‘TWG’’), an interdepartmental body comprised of representatives from PBGC’s financial, actuarial, policy, regulatory, and legal departments. If the TWG agrees with the staff recommendation, it forwards its own recommendation concerning the termination to the Director or other designated official (‘‘Deciding Official’’). All determinations are documented in a trusteeship decision record. As part of the informal adjudicatory process, PBGC staff may present or make available to the TWG information and documents that relate to a termination recommendation and, if the TWG recommends termination, to the Deciding Official. This material may include information that PBGC has obtained from the plan sponsor or plan administrator, as well as other information that PBGC has obtained or generated. For PBGC-initiated terminations, if the Deciding Official approves the termination, PBGC sends a notice to the plan administrator that the determination has been made (‘‘Notice of Determination’’). The plan may then be terminated by agreement or PBGC may apply to the appropriate district court for a decree adjudicating that the plan must be terminated. PPA 2006 Amendments On August 17, 2006, the President signed into law the Pension Protection Act of 2006, Pub. L. 109–280 (‘‘PPA 2006’’). Section 506 of PPA 2006 adds disclosure provisions to both sections 4041 and 4042 of ERISA. These provisions allow an affected party to request information related to a plan termination from the plan administrator in the case of a distress termination under section 4041, and from the plan administrator, plan sponsor, and PBGC in the case of a termination under section 4042. ‘‘Affected party’’ is defined in section 4001(a)(21) of ERISA to include each participant in the plan, each beneficiary under the plan, each employee organization representing plan participants, and PBGC. With respect to distress terminations, the new provisions require that a plan administrator that has filed a Notice of Intent to Terminate must provide to an affected party, upon request, information submitted to PBGC in conjunction with the distress termination. This information must be provided not later than 15 days after receipt of the request. One of the new provisions allows a court to limit disclosure of confidential information to an authorized representative of the E:\FR\FM\18NOR1.SGM 18NOR1

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FDA has discovered that an error appeared in 
the agency's codified regulations for part 601 (21 CFR part 601). In 
the Federal Register of December 28, 2007 (72 FR 73589), FDA published 
an interim final rule that inadvertently revised Sec.  
601.12(f)(3)(i)(D) (21 CFR 601.12(f)(3)(i)(D)) instead of adding a new 
paragraph, Sec.  601.12(f)(3)(i)(E). Accordingly, Sec.  
601.12(f)(3)(i)(D), which was added in the Federal Register of January 
24, 2006 (71 FR 3922), is being reincorporated into the regulations to 
replace current Sec.  601.12(f)(3)(i)(D); current Sec.  
601.12(f)(3)(i)(D) is being redesignated as Sec.  601.12(f)(3)(i)(E). 
This document corrects the errors described previously. Publication of 
this document constitutes final action under the Administrative 
Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553). FDA has determined that notice and public 
comment are unnecessary because this amendment is nonsubstantive.
