MP-100 Justification.d1

Justification for No Material or Nonsubstantive Change to Currently-Approved Collection

AGENCY: Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC)

TITLE: Missing Participants

STATUS: OMB control number 1212‑0069; expires January 31, 2021

CONTACT: Stephanie Cibinic (202-229-6352)

The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) is making a change to the currently-approved instructions for one of its forms in this information collection (ICR). The Missing Participants ICR consists of four sets of forms and instructions used to send missing participant information to PBGC from the four types of plans that are eligible to participate in PBGC’s Missing Participants Program.

PBGC is updating the instructions to the Form MP-100, Missing Participants Program Filing Instructions for PBGC-insured Single-Employer Defined Benefit Plans, to revise a description of the due date for the post-distribution certification for standard terminations pursuant to 29 CFR 4041.29. That amendment to PBGC’s standard termination rules included in the Miscellaneous Corrections, Clarifications and Improvements final rule published on February 4, 2020.

Below is the change in the “When to File” section of the MP-100 instructions on page 5:

When to file

P3F P

The date for submitting a Missing Participants Filing, and for payment of any monies owed to PBGC, is generally the same as the date for filing the Post-Distribution Certification⁴ as part of a standard or distress termination (i.e., for a standard termination, within 30 days after the last distribution date for any affected party or within 60 if a timely email certification was sent).

The revised MP-100 instructions have been submitted with this request.
