Use of Differential Income Stream as an Application of the Income Method and as a Consideration in Assessing the Best Method; Correction, 62426 [2013-24537]

Download as PDF 62426 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 204 / Tuesday, October 22, 2013 / Rules and Regulations Correction of Publication Accordingly, 26 CFR part 1 is corrected by making the following correcting amendment: FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Beth Tucker, Deputy Commissioner for Operations Support. Approved: August 19, 2013. Mark J. Mazur, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury (Tax Policy). 877–8339 and ask to be connected to 202–326–4024.) SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PBGC’s regulation on Benefits Payable in Terminated Single-Employer Plans (29 CFR Part 4022) prescribes actuarial assumptions—including interest assumptions—for paying plan benefits under terminating single-employer plans covered by title IV of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The interest assumptions in the regulation are also published on PBGC’s Web site (https://www.pbgc.gov). PBGC uses the interest assumptions in Appendix B to Part 4022 to determine whether a benefit is payable as a lump sum and to determine the amount to pay. Appendix C to Part 4022 contains interest assumptions for private-sector pension practitioners to refer to if they wish to use lump-sum interest rates determined using PBGC’s historical methodology. Currently, the rates in Appendices B and C of the benefit payment regulation are the same. The interest assumptions are intended to reflect current conditions in the financial and annuity markets. Assumptions under the benefit payments regulation are updated monthly. This final rule updates the benefit payments interest assumptions for November 2013.1 The November 2013 interest assumptions under the benefit payments regulation will be 1.75 percent for the period during which a benefit is in pay status and 4.00 percent during any years preceding the benefit’s placement in pay status. In comparison with the interest assumptions in effect for October 2013, these interest assumptions are unchanged. PBGC has determined that notice and public comment on this amendment are impracticable and contrary to the public interest. This finding is based on the need to determine and issue new interest assumptions promptly so that the assumptions can reflect current market conditions as accurately as possible. Because of the need to provide immediate guidance for the payment of benefits under plans with valuation dates during November 2013, PBGC finds that good cause exists for making the assumptions set forth in this amendment effective less than 30 days after publication.
