Title Evidence for Trust Land
Acquisitions
Bureau of Indian Affairs,
Interior.
ACTION: Interim final rule; delay of
effective date.
AGENCY:
The Bureau of Indian Affairs
(BIA) published an interim final rule on
title evidence for trust land acquisitions
and received comments during the
public comment period. The BIA
anticipates making technical revisions
to the rule in response to those
comments. This notice delays the
effective date of the interim final rule
for 30 days, during which time BIA
plans to publish a final rule with
technical revisions.
DATES: The effective date of the interim
final rule published March 1, 2016 (81
FR 10477) is delayed from April 15,
2016 to May 16, 2016.

Elizabeth Appel, Director, Office of

Secretary—Indian Affairs; telephone

SUMMARY:
On March
1, 2016, BIA published an interim final
rule with an effective date of April 15,
2016. 81 FR 10477. The interim final
rule deletes the requirement for fee-totrust applicants to furnish title evidence
that meets the ‘‘Standards for the
Preparation of Title Evidence in Land
Acquisitions by the United States’’
issued by the U.S. Department of Justice
(DOJ), and replaces the requirement
with a more targeted requirement for
title evidence, because adherence to the
DOJ standards is not required for
acquisitions of land in trust for
individual Indians or Indian tribes. The
BIA received 13 comments during the
public comment period and anticipates
making technical changes in response to
those comments. The interim final rule
stated that BIA may withdraw, initiate
a proposed rulemaking, or revise the
rule in response to comments. The BIA
has determined that technical revisions
to the rule may be appropriate and is
therefore delaying the effective date of
the rule for 30 days, during which time

PENSION BENEFIT GUARANTY
CORPORATION
29 CFR Part 4022
Benefits Payable in Terminated SingleEmployer Plans; Interest Assumptions
for Paying Benefits
Pension Benefit Guaranty
Corporation.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
This final rule amends the
Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation’s
regulation on Benefits Payable in
Terminated Single-Employer Plans to
prescribe interest assumptions under
the regulation for valuation dates in
May 2016. The interest assumptions are
used for paying benefits under
terminating single-employer plans
covered by the pension insurance
system administered by PBGC.
DATES: Effective May 1, 2016.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Regulatory Affairs, Pension Benefit
Guaranty Corporation, 1200 K Street

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 May 2016.1
The May 2016 interest assumptions
under the benefit payments regulation
will be 1.00 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 April 2016,
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
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

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 May 2016, PBGC finds that
good cause exists for making the
assumptions set forth in this
amendment effective less than 30 days
after publication.
PBGC has determined that this action
is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’
under the criteria set forth in Executive
Order 12866.
Because no general notice of proposed
rulemaking is required for this
amendment, the Regulatory Flexibility
Act of 1980 does not apply. See 5 U.S.C.
601(2).
