[FR Doc. 2016–06565 Filed 3–22–16; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 7709–02–P jstallworth on DSK7TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES AAA’s Alternative Arbitration Rules— 1981 & 1986 MPPAR In 1985, on its own initiative, PBGC approved the 1981 Multiemployer Pension Plan Arbitration Rules for Withdrawal Liability Disputes (the ‘‘1981 MPPAR’’), an alternative arbitration procedure sponsored by the International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans and administered by AAA. 50 FR 38046 (Sept. 19, 1985). In 1986, PBGC approved AAA’s request to use an amended MPPAR (the ‘‘1986 MPPAR’’) which eliminated certain procedural differences between the 1981 MPPAR and PBGC’s final arbitration regulation. 51 FR 22585 (June 20, 1986). The administrative fee schedule for handling arbitrations in the 1986 MPPAR was applicable until 2013, when AAA adopted an updated 2013 Fee Schedule, creating a revised MPPAR, effective February 1, 2013 (‘‘2013 MPPAR’’). The new Administrative Fee Schedule provides for increases to the Initial Filing Fee, establishes two different fee arrangements—the Standard and Flexible Fee Schedules, and adds a ‘‘Final Fee’’ under each schedule and a ‘‘Proceed Fee’’ in the flexible schedule context. Other than significant changes to the Administrative Fee Schedule, the 2013 MPPAR are identical to the 1986 MPPAR that PBGC previously approved. Under 4221.14, AAA has requested PBGC’s approval of the updated 2013 Fee Schedule (the ‘‘Application’’). AAA’s Application included the necessary information under 4221.14(c): A copy of the 2013 Fee Schedule; a description of the history, structure and membership of AAA; and a discussion of the reasons why, in AAA’s opinion, the 2013 Fee Schedule satisfies the criteria for PBGC approval under § 4221.14(d). A copy of AAA’s Application can be found at: https://www.pbgc.gov/prac/pg/ other/guidance/multiemployernotices.html. Request for Comments All interested persons are invited to submit written comments on the pending Application request. All comments will be made part of the administrative record.
