SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
4231(a) and (b) of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
(ERISA) requires plans that are involved
in a merger or transfer to give PBGC 120
days notice of the transaction and
provides that if PBGC determines that
specified requirements are satisfied, the
transaction will be deemed not to be in
violation of ERISA section 406(a) or
(b)(2) (dealing with prohibited
transactions).
PBGC’s regulation on Mergers and
Transfers Between Multiemployer Plans
(29 CFR part 4231) sets forth the
procedures for giving notice of a merger
or transfer under section 4231 and for
requesting a compliance determination.
The regulations specify the information
that must be included in a merger or
transfer notice. A request for a
compliance determination must provide
additional information to enable PBGC
to make an explicit finding that the
merger/transfer requirements have been
satisfied.
Section 4231(e) of ERISA clarifies
PBGC’s authority to facilitate a merger (a
‘‘facilitated merger’’) of two or more
multiemployer plans if certain statutory
requirements are met. For purposes of
section 4231(e), ‘‘facilitation’’ may
include training, technical assistance,
mediation, communication with
stakeholders, and support with related
requests to other government agencies.
In addition, subject to the requirements
of section 4231(e)(2), PBGC may provide
financial assistance (within the meaning
of section 4261 of ERISA) to facilitate a
merger (a ‘‘financial assistance merger’’)
it determines is necessary to enable one
or more of the plans involved to avoid
or postpone insolvency. PBGC’s
regulations specify the information
