Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation July 2006 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

Proposed Revision of Annual Information Return/Reports
Document Number: 06-6329
Type: Notice
Date: 2006-07-21
Agency: Employee Benefits Security Administration, Department of Labor, Internal Revenue Service, Department of Treasury, Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, Agencies and Commissions, Department of the Treasury
This document contains proposed revisions to the Form 5500 Annual Return/Report forms, including a proposed new Short Form 5500, filed for employee pension and welfare benefit plans under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) and the Internal Revenue Code (Code). The Form 5500 Annual Return/Report, including its schedules and attachments (Form 5500 Annual Return/Report), is an important source of financial, funding, and other information about employee benefit plans for the Department of Labor, the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, and the Internal Revenue Service (the Agencies), as well as for plan sponsors, participants and beneficiaries, and the general public. The proposed revisions to the Form 5500 Annual Return/ Report, contained in this document, including a new Form 5500-SF short form annual return/report for certain types of small pension plans, are intended to reduce and streamline annual reporting burdens, especially for small businesses, update the annual reporting forms to reflect current issues and agency priorities, and facilitate the establishment of a wholly electronic filing system for receipt of the Form 5500 Annual Returns/Reports. The form revisions thus would, upon adoption, apply for the reporting year for which the electronic filing requirement is implemented. The proposed revisions would affect employee pension and welfare benefit plans, plan sponsors, administrators, and service providers to plans subject to annual reporting requirements under ERISA and the Code.

This final rule amends the regulations to adopt interest assumptions for plans with valuation dates in August 2006. Interest assumptions are also published on the PBGC's Web site (https://www.pbgc.gov).

Duties of Plan Sponsor Following Mass Withdrawal
Document Number: E6-10919
Type: Rule
Date: 2006-07-12
Agency: Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, Agencies and Commissions
This document amends part 4281 (Duties of Plan Sponsor Following Mass Withdrawal) to make technical changes to conform to amendments made to part 4044 (Allocation of Assets in Single-Employer Plans) in a final rule published in the Federal Register on December 2, 2005. That final rule updated PBGC's mortality tables used for certain valuations for single-employer plans. Part 4281, which provides rules for valuing benefits in multiemployer plans following mass withdrawal, refers to the mortality tables in part 4044. Technical amendments are needed to conform the references in part 4281 to the changes in part 4044.
