SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PBGC’s
regulations prescribe actuarial valuation
methods and assumptions (including
interest rate assumptions) to be used to
determine the actuarial present value of
benefits under single-employer plans in
involuntary or distress terminations (29
CFR part 4044) and the value of benefits
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 253001
and certain assets under multiemployer
plans that undergo a mass withdrawal of
contributing employers (29 CFR part
4281). In each month immediately
preceding the start of a new calendar
quarter, PBGC publishes the interest
rates to be used under those regulations
for plans terminating or undergoing
mass withdrawal during the next
quarter.
The interest rates are intended to
reflect current conditions in the annuity
markets. To determine these interest
rates, PBGC gathers premium rate data
from insurance companies that are
providing group annuity contracts to
terminating pension plans through a
quarterly survey. The American Council
of Life Insurers (ACLI) distributes the
survey and provides PBGC with ‘‘blind’’
data (i.e., PBGC is unable to match
responses with the insurance companies
that submitted them). PBGC also uses
the information from the survey in
determining the interest rates it uses to
value benefits payable to participants
and beneficiaries in PBGC-trusteed
plans for purposes of PBGC’s financial
statements.
PBGC is proposing several changes to
the survey distributed by ACLI:
• Addition of a question asking for
specific information about the interest
assumptions underlying the annuity
premium rates reported in parts I and II
of the survey. This information is
needed to allow PBGC to better analyze
annuity price data provided in the
survey.
• Increases to the dollar ranges in the
questions on respondents’ group
annuity business in part III to allow the
survey to continue to capture the
variability and range of business
accepted by respondents as the prices of
plan termination annuity contracts
increase with inflation.
• Changes to the instructions to
clarify that respondents should provide
pricing information only for full plan
terminations (and transactions priced
consistently with full plan
terminations), that the annuity premium
rates provided should include
reductions for investment expenses but
exclude administrative expenses, and
that respondents should assume that
plan provisions are straightforward and
do not contain significant levels of antiselection, expensive options, or
subsidies.
• Addition of a confirmation that
administrative expenses are excluded
from pricing information and an option
to comment on any exceptions. This is
needed for PBGC to compare pricing
information amongst survey responses
when respondents are unable to
PO 00000
Frm 00064
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
completely exclude administrative
expenses from pricing information.
• Consolidation and simplification of
former parts III and IV into a new part
III and elimination of questions asking
for information PBGC no longer uses.
These changes streamline and simplify
the response process.
• Modification of a question asking
for the volume of respondents’ plan
termination annuity business so that it
requests annual data instead of quarterly
data to reduce volatility in survey
responses.
• Addition of a question soliciting
feedback on how PBGC could improve
the survey process.
• Addition of flexibility to conduct
the survey electronically.
This voluntary survey is directed at
insurance companies most, if not all, of
which are members of ACLI. The survey
is conducted quarterly and
approximately 20 insurance companies
will be asked to participate.
The existing collection of information
was approved under OMB control
number 1212–0030 (expires August 31,
2021). On April 1, 2021, PBGC
published in the Federal Register (at 86
FR 17217) a notice informing the public
of its intent to request an extension of
this collection of information, as
modified. No comments were received.
PBGC is requesting that OMB extend
approval of the collection (with
modifications) for three years. An
agency may not conduct or sponsor, and
a person is not required to respond to,
a collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number.
PBGC estimates that about 6
insurance companies will respond to
the survey each quarter, and that each
survey will require approximately 30
minutes to complete and return. The
total burden is estimated to be 12 hours
(30 minutes per survey × 4 surveys per
year × 6 respondents per quarter).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
4043 of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA)
requires plan administrators and plan
sponsors to report certain plan and
employer events to PBGC. The reporting
requirements give PBGC notice of events
that indicate plan or employer financial
problems. PBGC uses the information
provided in determining what, if any,
action it needs to take. For example,
PBGC might need to institute
proceedings to terminate a plan (placing

it in trusteeship) under section 4042 of
ERISA to ensure the continued payment
of benefits to plan participants and their
beneficiaries or to prevent unreasonable
increases in PBGC’s losses.
The provisions of section 4043 of
ERISA have been implemented in
PBGC’s regulation on Reportable Events
and Certain Other Notification
Requirements (29 CFR part 4043).
Form 10
Subparts B and C of the regulation
deal with reportable events. PBGC has
issued Forms 10 and 10-Advance and
related instructions under subparts B
and C (approved under OMB control
number 1212–0013). PBGC is modifying
the Form 10 for the ‘‘Failure to make
required contributions’’ reportable event
to provide that if payment was made to
satisfy a missed contribution, the filer
must submit documentation of that
payment, e.g., a copy of the cancelled
check or wire transfer, etc.
Documentation is needed to give
evidence that the missed contribution
was made up and no risk to the plan
remains before PBGC closes the event.
PBGC estimates that it will receive
573 reportable event notices per year
under subparts B and C of the reportable
events regulation using Forms 10 and
10-Advance and that the average annual
burden of this collection of information
is 1,800 hours and $426,885.
Form 200
Section 303(k) of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
(ERISA) and section 430(k) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (Code)
impose a lien in favor of an
underfunded single-employer plan that
is covered by PBGC’s termination
insurance program if (1) any person fails
to make a required payment when due,
and (2) the unpaid balance of that
payment (including interest), when
added to the aggregate unpaid balance
of all preceding payments for which
payment was not made when due
(including interest), exceeds $1 million.
(For this purpose, a plan is underfunded
if its funding target attainment
percentage is less than 100 percent.) The
lien is upon all property and rights to
property belonging to the person or
persons that are liable for required
contributions (i.e., a contributing
sponsor and each member of the
controlled group of which that
contributing sponsor is a member).
Only PBGC (or, at its direction, the
plan’s contributing sponsor or a member
of the same controlled group) may
perfect and enforce this lien. ERISA and
the Code require persons that fail to
make payments to notify PBGC within
PO 00000
Frm 00065
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
31541
10 days of the due date whenever there
is a failure to make a required payment
and the total of the unpaid balances
(including interest) exceeds $1 million.
PBGC Form 200, Notice of Failure to
Make Required Contributions, and
related instructions implement the
statutory notification requirement.
Submission of Form 200 is required by
29 CFR 4043.81 (Subpart D of PBGC’s
regulation on Reportable Events and
Other Notification Requirements, 29
CFR part 4043). PBGC currently requires
filers to report the due date of the
required payment that triggered the
notification to PBGC and to calculate
the cumulative amount of unpaid
balances. PBGC is modifying the form to
include a separate field showing the
payment amount that triggered the
notification in order to better track
missed contributions and identify the
amount by which liens associated with
missed contributions must be updated.
PBGC estimates that it will receive 88
Form 200 filings per year and that the
average annual burden of this collection
of information is 88 hours and $63,800.
Method of Filing
PBGC’s reportable events and certain
other notification requirements
regulation (29 CFR part 4043) provides
that reportable event notices required
under this part must be filed
electronically in accordance with the
instructions posted on PBGC’s website.
Those instructions currently provide
two options for electronic filing:
• Using the 4043 module of PBGC’s efiling portal, or
• Emailing a completed form and any
required attachments to postevent.report@pbgc.gov.
PBGC’s e-filing portal, which has been
available since 2016, offers a secure
application for submitting Form 200 and
Form 10 and 10-Advance information.
The e-filing portal allows filers to
review filings and generate a list of
omissions and inconsistencies prior to
submission to ensure completeness;
save a partially completed filing; modify
information any time prior to
submission; pre-populate a filing with
data from a previously submitted filing;
route the filing as needed to facilitate ecertifications; and review prior filings
submitted via the e-filing portal. PBGC
is eliminating the email option for
filings due after September 30, 2021. In
other words, starting in October 2021,
these filings would be submitted via
PBGC’s e-filing portal.
PBGC also is making other editorial
changes to the forms and instructions in
these collections.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 4043 of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) requires plan administrators and
plan sponsors to report certain plan and employer events to PBGC. The
reporting requirements give PBGC notice of events that indicate plan or
employer financial problems. PBGC uses the information provided in
determining what, if any, action it needs to take. For example, PBGC
might need to institute proceedings to terminate a plan (placing it in
trusteeship) under section 4042 of ERISA to ensure the continued
payment of benefits to plan participants and their beneficiaries or to
prevent unreasonable increases in PBGC's losses.
The provisions of section 4043 of ERISA have been implemented in
PBGC's regulation on Reportable Events and Certain Other Notification
Requirements (29 CFR part 4043).
Form 10
Subparts B and C of the regulation deal with reportable events.
PBGC has issued Forms 10 and 10-Advance and related instructions under
subparts B and C (approved under OMB control number 1212-0013). PBGC is
modifying the Form 10 for the ``Failure to make required

satisfy a missed contribution, the filer must submit documentation of
that payment, e.g., a copy of the cancelled check or wire transfer,
etc. Documentation is needed to give evidence that the missed
contribution was made up and no risk to the plan remains before PBGC
closes the event.
PBGC estimates that it will receive 573 reportable event notices
per year under subparts B and C of the reportable events regulation
using Forms 10 and 10-Advance and that the average annual burden of
this collection of information is 1,800 hours and $426,885.
Form 200
Section 303(k) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974 (ERISA) and section 430(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986
(Code) impose a lien in favor of an underfunded single-employer plan
that is covered by PBGC's termination insurance program if (1) any
person fails to make a required payment when due, and (2) the unpaid
balance of that payment (including interest), when added to the
aggregate unpaid balance of all preceding payments for which payment
was not made when due (including interest), exceeds $1 million. (For
this purpose, a plan is underfunded if its funding target attainment
percentage is less than 100 percent.) The lien is upon all property and
rights to property belonging to the person or persons that are liable
for required contributions (i.e., a contributing sponsor and each
member of the controlled group of which that contributing sponsor is a
member).
Only PBGC (or, at its direction, the plan's contributing sponsor or
a member of the same controlled group) may perfect and enforce this
lien. ERISA and the Code require persons that fail to make payments to
notify PBGC within 10 days of the due date whenever there is a failure
to make a required payment and the total of the unpaid balances
(including interest) exceeds $1 million.
PBGC Form 200, Notice of Failure to Make Required Contributions,
and related instructions implement the statutory notification
requirement. Submission of Form 200 is required by 29 CFR 4043.81
(Subpart D of PBGC's regulation on Reportable Events and Other
Notification Requirements, 29 CFR part 4043). PBGC currently requires
filers to report the due date of the required payment that triggered
the notification to PBGC and to calculate the cumulative amount of
unpaid balances. PBGC is modifying the form to include a separate field
showing the payment amount that triggered the notification in order to
better track missed contributions and identify the amount by which

PBGC estimates that it will receive 88 Form 200 filings per year
and that the average annual burden of this collection of information is
88 hours and $63,800.
Method of Filing
PBGC's reportable events and certain other notification
requirements regulation (29 CFR part 4043) provides that reportable
event notices required under this part must be filed electronically in
accordance with the instructions posted on PBGC's website. Those
instructions currently provide two options for electronic filing:
Using the 4043 module of PBGC's e-filing portal, or
Emailing a completed form and any required attachments to
[email protected].
PBGC's e-filing portal, which has been available since 2016, offers
a secure application for submitting Form 200 and Form 10 and 10-Advance
information. The e-filing portal allows filers to review filings and
generate a list of omissions and inconsistencies prior to submission to
ensure completeness; save a partially completed filing; modify
information any time prior to submission; pre-populate a filing with
data from a previously submitted filing; route the filing as needed to
facilitate e-certifications; and review prior filings submitted via the
e-filing portal. PBGC is eliminating the email option for filings due
after September 30, 2021. In other words, starting in October 2021,
these filings would be submitted via PBGC's e-filing portal.
PBGC also is making other editorial changes to the forms and
instructions in these collections.
OMB approval of the information collection under control number
1212-
[[Page 31542]]
0013 expires March 31, 2023, and of the information collection under
control number 1212-0041 expires February 28, 2022. On November 5,
2019, PBGC published in the Federal Register (at 84 FR 59660) a notice
informing the public of its intent to request approval of modifications
to these currently-approved information collections. No comments were
received. PBGC is requesting that OMB extend its approval of these
information collections for three years, with modifications. An agency
may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to,
a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.
