checking box 5 in part II (Alternative
Premium Funding Target Election) of
the comprehensive premium filing for
the first plan year to which the election
applies.3 If an election to use the
alternative premium funding target is
not in effect, the plan must calculate its
VRP using the standard premium
funding target.4
For 2008 and 2009 plan years, over
ninety-five percent of the plans that
used the alternative method filed valid
elections to do so. However, some plans
that used the alternative method did not
make a valid election to do so and later
requested that PBGC treat them as
having made a valid election. In
response, on June 16, 2010, PBGC
issued Technical Update 10–2, under
which a plan was deemed to have made
a valid election if certain conditions
were met.
Most plans with box 5 errors for 2008
or 2009 plan years were eligible for the
Technical Update 10–2 relief or were
granted similar relief upon
reconsideration based on the facts and
circumstances. PBGC spent considerable
time reviewing requests for
reconsideration to ensure that due
process was followed, that plans with
similar situations were treated
consistently, and that discretion was
exercised fairly and reasonably. To date,
PBGC has denied fewer than 50 requests
for reconsideration with respect to box
5 errors in 2008 or 2009 plan years.
Premium payers and pension
professionals requested further relief
from box 5 errors, including relief for
plan years starting after 2009 and relief
for plans that did not qualify for the
Technical Update 10–2 relief for 2008
and 2009 plan years.
Relief for Plan Years Beginning After
2009
wreier-aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with NOTICES
PBGC has taken steps to reduce box
5 errors for 2010 and later plan years.
The agency has modified its online
Premium Filing application (MyPAA) to
provide additional ‘‘error check’’ or
‘‘alert’’ notices. PBGC assists vendors
with their systems and encourages
vendors to have similar error check and
alert notices as MyPAA. PBGC urges all
filers to check filings to avoid making
errors, pay close attention to the
MyPAA warnings, and print and save
3 Premium information must be submitted
electronically. PBGC provides on its Web site,
https://www.pbgc.gov, filing instructions that
include an illustrative form with a line number for
each data element. This Notice refers to those line
numbers.
4 This Notice will refer to use of the alternative
premium funding target as the ‘‘alternative method’’
and to use of the standard premium funding target
as the ‘‘standard method.’’

receipts showing that filings are actually
submitted.
Despite these efforts, PBGC still
occasionally finds box 5 errors. PBGC is
providing relief similar to, but more
expansive, than the relief provided in
Technical Update 10–2 for plan years
beginning after 2009. Specifically, relief
is available where the plan used the
alternative method to determine the
VRP for the applicable plan year
without filing a valid election to do so
for the applicable plan year or a prior
plan year. Similar relief is available
where the plan used the standard
method, but inadvertently made an
election to use the alternative method
for the applicable plan year (e.g., box 5
was checked because of an errant mouse
click).
In either case, PBGC bases its
determination of which method was
used to determine the VRP for the
applicable plan year solely on the
information reported in line 7d(1) of
part III (Premium Information). For
example, if ‘‘alternative’’ is checked,
PBGC determines that the alternative
method was used.
If an election to use the alternative
method is invalid solely because the
filing was submitted after the due date,
relief is available only if the filing is not
an amendment of a timely filing in
which the plan used the standard
method to determine the VRP and the
filing is submitted by the earlier of:
• The 90th day after the filing due
date.
• The 30th day after the date of any
PBGC notification that no filing has
been received.5
PBGC is contacting plans entitled to
this relief to explain the options and
actions required, if any (e.g., whether
the inconsistent filing must be
amended). Plans that do not qualify for
this relief may seek reconsideration
based on the facts and circumstances.
Premium Penalty Relief for 2008 and
2009 Plan Years
In situations where a plan with a box
5 error for 2008 or 2009 plan years was
not eligible for the Technical Update
10–2 relief and a request for
reconsideration was denied (or not
submitted), the plan was required to
amend the applicable premium filing
and recalculate the VRP using the
standard method. In some cases, this
resulted in additional premium being
due. Because the additional premium
was paid after the due date, late
payment charges (penalties and interest)
were assessed on the additional
5 PBGC generally notifies plans within 30 days of
the filing due date.

premium. In many cases, the late
payment penalties were equal to 100
percent of the additional premium. In
response to concerns of premium payers
and pension professionals, PBGC will
waive premium penalties in connection
with these errors for 2008 and 2009 plan
years.
PBGC will also waive premium
penalties for plans that used the
standard method but inadvertently
checked box 5 and were required to
recalculate the VRP using the alternative
method.
PBGC will contact plans entitled to
this penalty relief. If a plan entitled to
this relief has already paid the late
payment penalty, the penalty amount
will be converted into a credit that can
be used to offset future premiums. If a
plan entitled to this relief has not
amended the relevant filing and paid
the additional premium due, PBGC will
waive the penalty only if the filing is
amended and the additional premium
paid within 30 days of the notification.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is
hereby given that, pursuant to 39 U.S.C.
404(d), on September 2, 2011, the
Commission received a petition for
review of the Postal Service’s
determination to close the Etna post
office in Etna, New York. The petition
was filed by Heather Marshall
(Petitioner) and is postmarked August
24, 2011. The Commission hereby
institutes a proceeding under 39 U.S.C.
404(d)(5) and establishes Docket No.
A2011–61 to consider Petitioner’s
appeal. If Petitioner would like to
further explain her position with
supplemental information or facts,
Petitioner may either file a Participant
Statement on PRC Form 61 or file a brief

Service failed to consider whether or
not it will continue to provide a
maximum degree of effective and

the Postal Service failed to adequately
