PENSION BENEFIT GUARANTY CORPORATION

29 CFR Part 4022


Benefits Payable in Terminated Single-Employer Plans; Interest 
Assumptions for Paying Benefits

AGENCY: Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This final rule amends the Pension Benefit Guaranty 
Corporation's regulation on Benefits Payable in Terminated Single-
Employer Plans to prescribe interest assumptions under the regulation 
for valuation dates in August 2016. The interest assumptions are used 
for paying benefits under terminating single-employer plans covered by 
the pension insurance system administered by PBGC.

DATES: Effective August 1, 2016.

Affairs, Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, 1200 K Street NW.,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PBGC's regulation on Benefits Payable in 
Terminated Single-Employer Plans (29 CFR part 4022) prescribes 
actuarial assumptions--including interest assumptions--for paying plan 
benefits under terminating single-employer plans covered by title IV of 
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The interest 
assumptions in the regulation are also published on PBGC's Web site 
(http://www.pbgc.gov).
    PBGC uses the interest assumptions in Appendix B to Part 4022 to 
determine whether a benefit is payable as a lump sum and to determine 
the amount to pay. Appendix C to Part 4022 contains interest 
assumptions for private-sector pension practitioners to refer to if 
they wish to use lump-sum interest rates determined using PBGC's 
historical methodology. Currently, the rates in Appendices B and C of 
the benefit payment regulation are the same.
    The interest assumptions are intended to reflect current conditions 
in the financial and annuity markets. Assumptions under the benefit 
payments regulation are updated monthly. This final rule updates the 
benefit payments interest assumptions for August 2016.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Appendix B to PBGC's regulation on Allocation of Assets in 
Single-Employer Plans (29 CFR part 4044) prescribes interest 
assumptions for valuing benefits under terminating covered single-
employer plans for purposes of allocation of assets under ERISA 
section 4044. Those assumptions are updated quarterly.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The August 2016 interest assumptions under the benefit payments 
regulation will be 0.50 percent for the period during which a benefit 
is in pay status and 4.00 percent during any years preceding the 
benefit's placement in pay status. In comparison with the interest 
assumptions in effect for July 2016, these interest assumptions 
represent a decrease of 0.25 percent in the immediate annuity rate and 
are otherwise unchanged.
    PBGC has determined that notice and public comment on this 
amendment are impracticable and contrary to the public interest. This 
finding is based on the need to determine and issue new interest 
assumptions promptly so that the assumptions can reflect current market 
conditions as accurately as possible.
    Because of the need to provide immediate guidance for the payment 
of benefits under plans with valuation dates during August 2016, PBGC 
finds that good cause exists for making the assumptions set forth in 
this amendment effective less than 30 days after publication.
    PBGC has determined that this action is not a ``significant 
regulatory action'' under the criteria set forth in Executive Order 
12866.
    Because no general notice of proposed rulemaking is required for 
this amendment, the Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 does not apply. 
See 5 U.S.C. 601(2).
