DB plan administrators generally are
required to use to calculate
contributions. Under the new rules, the
generally required interest rates are
limited to rates that are within a
specified range, or corridor, above or
below a 25-year average for the rates.
Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974 (ERISA) section 101(f) sets
forth the requirements for plan
administrators of most single-employer
DB plans to furnish annual funding
notices to the PBGC, plan participants
and beneficiaries, and each labor
organization representing such
participants or beneficiaries. MAP–21
section 40211(b)(2)(A) has amended
ERISA section 101(f)(2), by adding a
new subparagraph (D), to require singleemployer DB plan administrators to
disclose additional information in the
annual funding notice for a plan year
beginning after December 31, 2011, and
before January 1, 2015, regarding the
effect of the MAP–21 segment rate
stabilization rules on plan liabilities and
the plan sponsor’s minimum required
contributions to the plan. MAP–21
section 40211(b)(2)(B) requires the
Department to modify the model annual
funding notice required under Pension
Protection Act of 2006 (PPA) section
501(c) to include, prominently, the
supplemental information required
under new ERISA section 101(f)(2)(D).
On March 8, 2013, the Department
released EBSA Field Assistance Bulletin
(FAB) 2013–01 concerning the new
disclosure requirements mandated the
MAP–21. The FAB addresses a need for
interim guidance pending the adoption
of regulations or other guidance under
ERISA section 101(f), as amended by the
MAP–21. The FAB sets forth technical
questions and answers and provides a
model supplement that plan
administrators may use to discharge
their MAP–21 disclosure obligations
and provides that, pending further
guidance and as a matter of enforcement
policy, the Department will treat a
single employer DB plan administrator
as satisfying MAP–21 requirements if
the plan administrator complies with
the guidance in the memorandum and
otherwise acts in accordance with a
good faith and reasonable interpretation
of those requirements.
On April 19, 2013, the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
approved the model supplement as a
revision to OMB Control Number 1210–
0126 under the emergency procedures
for review and clearance in accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (Pub. L. 104–13, 44 U.S.C. Chapter
35) and 5 CFR 1320.13. OMB approval
of the revision currently is scheduled to
expire on December 31, 2013.

Desired Focus of Comments
The Department is particularly
interested in comments that:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., by permitting electronic
submissions of responses.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized and/or
included in the ICR for OMB approval
of the extension of the information
collection; they will also become a
matter of public record.

operator may petition and the Secretary
of Labor (Secretary) may modify the
