SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On

Federal Register on December 19, 2008.
See 73 FR 77504. The current expiration
date for OMB authorization for this

OMB had not yet provided a PRArequired approval for the revised
information collection requirements
contained in 29 CFR 3.3, 5.5(a)(3)(ii)(A),

PENSION BENEFIT GUARANTY
CORPORATION
29 CFR Part 4022
Benefits Payable in Terminated SingleEmployer Plans; Interest Assumptions
for Valuing and Paying Benefits
AGENCY: Pension Benefit Guaranty
Corporation.
ACTION: Final rule.
SUMMARY: Pension Benefit Guaranty
Corporation’s regulation on Benefits
Payable in Terminated Single-Employer
Plans prescribes interest assumptions
for valuing and paying certain benefits
under terminating single-employer
plans. This final rule amends the benefit
payments regulation to adopt interest
assumptions for plans with valuation
dates in February 2009. As discussed
below, this final rule does not address
the interest assumptions under PBGC’s
regulation on Allocation of Assets in
Single-Employer Plans. Interest
assumptions are also published on
PBGC’s Web site (https://www.pbgc.gov).
DATES: Effective February 1, 2009.

and Policy Division, Legislative and
Regulatory Department, Pension Benefit

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.
These interest assumptions are found
in two PBGC regulations: the regulation
on Benefits Payable in Terminated
Single-Employer Plans (29 CFR Part
4022) and the regulation on Allocation
of Assets in Single-Employer Plans (29
CFR Part 4044). Before 2009, PBGC
updated the assumptions under the two
regulations each month in a single
rulemaking document. In a final rule
published in the Federal Register on
December 29, 2008 (at 73 FR 79362),
PBGC announced a change in its
practice for determining the interest
assumptions for use under the asset
allocation regulation. As explained in
the preamble to that final rule (73 FR
79362 at 79363), the new practice leads
to assumptions that remain unchanged
within a calendar quarter. Accordingly,
the assumptions published December
29, 2008, remain in effect for January,
February, and March 2009, and need not
be updated for February 2009. Thus this
final rule document updates the benefit
payments regulation only. Similarly,
future updates to the asset allocation
regulation will be made quarterly rather
than monthly; between quarterly
updates of the asset allocation
regulation, only the benefit payment
regulation will be updated each month.
Two sets of interest assumptions are
prescribed under the benefit payments
regulation: (1) A set for PBGC to use to
determine whether a benefit is payable
as a lump sum and to determine lumpsum amounts to be paid by PBGC (found
in Appendix B to Part 4022), and (2) a
set for private-sector pension
practitioners to refer to if they wish to
use lump-sum interest rates determined
using PBGC’s historical methodology
(found in Appendix C to Part 4022).
This amendment (1) adds to
Appendix B to Part 4022 the interest
assumptions for PBGC to use for its own
lump-sum payments in plans with
valuation dates during February 2009,
and (2) adds to Appendix C to Part 4022
the interest assumptions for privatesector pension practitioners to refer to if
they wish to use lump-sum interest rates
determined using PBGC’s historical
