Regulations under sections 430(d),
430(g), 430(h)(2), and 430(i) provide guidance on the determination

sponsor of a defined benefit plan to make any of several elections
related to the interest rate used for minimum funding purposes and
require written notification of any such election to be provided to
the plan's enrolled actuary. These final regulations provide for

The notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) published as REG-113891-07 was assigned OMB No.
1545-2112 and was "comment filed on proposed rule" by OMB. The
final rule codified requirements from REG–113891–07 and this NPRM
(REG–139236–07) as TD 9467 on October 15, 2009, at 74 FR 61240. The
burden under this ICR consolidates burden from that originally
identified in OMB No. 1545-2112, under this submission for TD 9467.
The increase of 66,000 burden hours is attributed to program change
due to agency discretion.
