ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: Executive Order 13563 on Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review directs agencies to review and improve their regulatory processes. As a result of this regulatory review, and in response to comments by premium payers and pension professionals, PBGC is providing relief from certain premium penalties and in certain situations involving alternative premium funding target elections. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Catherine B. Klion, Manager, Regulatory and Policy Division, Legislative and Regulatory Department, 1200 K Street, NW., Washington, DC 20005–4026, 202– 326–4024 or klion.catherine@pbgc.gov. (TTY and 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: As a result of PBGC’s regulatory review under Executive Order 13563 SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00066 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 and in response to comments by premium payers and pension professionals, PBGC is granting relief in several situations: • For 2011 and later plan years, PBGC will waive premium penalties assessed solely because payments are late by not more than seven calendar days. • For 2010 and later plan years, PBGC is providing relief similar to, but more expansive, than the relief provided in Technical Update 10–2 (Variable Rate Premiums; Alternative Premium Funding Target Elections; Box 5 Relief).1 • For 2008 and 2009 plan years, PBGC will waive premium penalties for late premiums in connection with certain box 5 errors. Seven Day Rule Under ERISA section 4007 and PBGC’s regulation on Payment of Premiums (29 CFR part 4007), late payment charges—interest and late payment penalties—apply to required annual premium payments that are not timely made. Penalties (but not interest) may be waived in accordance with the premium payment regulation. PBGC’s premium penalty policy is set forth in the appendix to the premium payment regulation. For plan years beginning after 2010, PBGC will automatically waive premium payment penalties that are assessed solely because premium payments are late by not more than seven calendar days.2 In applying this policy, PBGC will assume that each premium payment was made seven calendar days before it was actually made. All other rules will then be applied as usual. If the result of this procedure is that no penalty would arise, then any penalty assessed on the basis of the actual payment dates will be waived. Filers may seek reconsideration of late payment penalties assessed in circumstances to which the relief under this Notice does not apply. Alternative Premium Funding Target Elections For plan years beginning after 2007, PBGC’s premium regulations allow a plan to elect to use the alternative premium funding target to calculate its variable rate premium (VRP). The regulations require that such an election be filed with PBGC before the VRP due date. A plan makes an election by 1 https://www.pbgc.gov/res/other-guidance/tu/ tu10–2.html . 2 The premium penalty relief described in this notice does not apply to late payment interest charges, to penalties for failure to timely file required premium information, or to penalties for late payment of termination premiums.
