Abstract: In certain cases where a PBGC-insured pension plan terminates in a distress or involuntary termination, the plan’s sponsor group must pay termination premiums to PBGC for three years under 29 USC 1307 and 29 CFR Part 4007, which also requires retention and production of records necessary to support premium payments. The information in this collection identifies the plan and sponsor group and lets PBGC verify premium computations. The retained records facilitate audits.
