SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation’s (PBGC) legal authority to prescribe actuarial assumptions and methods for purposes of determining an employer’s withdrawal liability comes from section 4213 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), and from section 4002(b)(3) of ERISA, which authorizes PBGC to issue regulations to carry out the purposes of title IV of ERISA. Section 4213(a)(2) of ERISA authorizes PBGC to set forth in its regulations actuarial assumptions and methods that may be used by a plan actuary for the purpose of determining an employer’s withdrawal liability as an PO 00000 Frm 00020 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 67853 alternative to the assumptions and methods used under section 4213(a)(1). On October 14, 2022, PBGC published a proposed rulemaking in the Federal Register entitled Actuarial Assumptions for Determining an Employer’s Withdrawal Liability (the Proposed Rule).1 The rule was proposed to make clear that use of settlement rates prescribed by PBGC under section 4044 of ERISA, either as a standalone assumption or combined with funding interest assumptions, represents a valid approach to selecting an interest rate assumption to determine withdrawal liability in all circumstances. The Proposed Rule contains a 30-day comment period, which was scheduled to expire on November 14, 2022. Since the publication of the Proposed Rule, PBGC received a comment from a group of interested parties that expressed concern that the 30-day comment period does not provide commenters with sufficient time to develop and submit comments. The comment requests that PBGC extend the comment period to at least 60 days from the date of publication in the Federal Register. After considering the extension request, PBGC has decided that it is appropriate to extend the comment period for this Proposed Rule to a total of 60 total days from the date of publication to provide interested parties with additional time to participate in this rulemaking process. The comment period, therefore, will close on December 13, 2022. Signed in Washington, DC. Gordon Hartogensis, Director, Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation.
