Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 161 / Tuesday, August 20, 2019 / Notices

report do not provide accurate
information on line 14 of Schedule R.
The current instructions for line 14
require multiemployer plans to count
inactive participants using the last
contributing employer counting method.
Under the last contributing employer
method, a plan counts only those
participants whose last contributing
employer withdrew from the plan by the
beginning of the relevant plan year for
which the Form 5500 relates. The plan
does not count any participants whose
employers had not withdrawn from the
plan, even if, in the relevant year, no
contributions were made by the
employer on behalf of those
participants.
PBGC is proposing to modify
Schedule R to provide multiemployer
plans with a choice of the last
contributing employer counting method
and two proposed counting methods:
The alternative method and the
approximation method. PBGC
anticipates that providing plans with
three alternative counting methods will
allow each plan to choose the counting
method that will be most accurate and
least burdensome for the plan to count
its inactive participants.
Under the first proposed counting
method, the alternative method, a plan
would count only those participants
whose last contributing employer and
all prior contributing employers had
withdrawn from the plan by the
beginning of the relevant plan year.
Under this method, the plan would
review the list of all contributing
employers (employers that had not
withdrawn from the plan by the
beginning of the relevant plan year), and
include on Line 14 only those inactive
participants who had no covered service
with any of these employers.
Under the second proposed counting
method, the reasonable approximation
method, a plan that is unable to use the
other two methods would make a
reasonable, good faith effort to count
inactive participants to satisfy the
requirements of section 103(f)(2)(C) of
ERISA. The plan would be required to
provide an attachment that explains the
plan’s approximation method, including
a description of the data and a
breakdown describing the number of
clearly identified inactive participants
and the number of estimated inactive
participants.
PBGC also is proposing that when a
plan reports a number on line 14b or
14c that differs from the number it
reported for the plan year immediately
preceding the plan year, it would be
required to submit an attachment with
an explanation of the reason for the
change.

Both attachments will provide PBGC
with data information that it uses in its
Pension Insurance Modeling System
(PIMS). PBGC’s evaluation of the data
submitted in the attachments will allow
PBGC to review the integrity of the data.
PBGC estimates that the proposed
changes would have an offsetting effect
and would not change the hour or cost
burden for the Schedule R.
PBGC estimates that it will receive
approximately 24,800 Form 5500 and
Form 5500–SF filings per year under
this collection of information for the
Form 5500 Series. PBGC further
estimates that the total annual burden of
this collection of information for the
Form 5500 Series, attributable to PBGC,
will be 1,200 hours and $1,664,000.
PBGC is soliciting public comments
to—
• evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
• evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodologies and assumptions used;
• enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses.
