AAA’s Alternative Arbitration Rules—
1981 & 1986 MPPAR
In 1985, on its own initiative, PBGC
approved the 1981 Multiemployer
Pension Plan Arbitration Rules for
Withdrawal Liability Disputes (the
‘‘1981 MPPAR’’), an alternative
arbitration procedure sponsored by the
International Foundation of Employee
Benefit Plans and administered by AAA.
50 FR 38046 (Sept. 19, 1985). In 1986,
PBGC approved AAA’s request to use an
amended MPPAR (the ‘‘1986 MPPAR’’)
which eliminated certain procedural
differences between the 1981 MPPAR
and PBGC’s final arbitration regulation.
51 FR 22585 (June 20, 1986). The
administrative fee schedule for handling
arbitrations in the 1986 MPPAR was
applicable until 2013, when AAA
adopted an updated 2013 Fee Schedule,
creating a revised MPPAR, effective
February 1, 2013 (‘‘2013 MPPAR’’). The
new Administrative Fee Schedule
provides for increases to the Initial
Filing Fee, establishes two different fee
arrangements—the Standard and
Flexible Fee Schedules, and adds a
‘‘Final Fee’’ under each schedule and a
‘‘Proceed Fee’’ in the flexible schedule
context. Other than significant changes
to the Administrative Fee Schedule, the
2013 MPPAR are identical to the 1986
MPPAR that PBGC previously approved.
Under 4221.14, AAA has requested
PBGC’s approval of the updated 2013
Fee Schedule (the ‘‘Application’’).
AAA’s Application included the
necessary information under 4221.14(c):
A copy of the 2013 Fee Schedule; a
description of the history, structure and
membership of AAA; and a discussion
of the reasons why, in AAA’s opinion,
the 2013 Fee Schedule satisfies the
criteria for PBGC approval under
§ 4221.14(d).
A copy of AAA’s Application can be
found at: http://www.pbgc.gov/prac/pg/

RI 92–22, Annuity Supplement
Earnings Report, is used each year to
obtain the earned income of Federal
Employees Retirement System (FERS)
annuitants receiving an annuity
supplement. The annuity supplement is
paid to eligible FERS annuitants who
are not retired on disability and are not
yet age 62. The supplement
approximates the portion of a full career
Social Security benefit earned while
under FERS and ends at age 62. Like
Social Security benefits, the annuity
supplement is subject to an earnings
limitation.
