SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Variable-Rate Premiums 

Section 4006(a)(3)(E)(iii)(II) of the 

Employee Retirement Income Security 

Act of 1974 (ERISA) and § 4006.4(b)(1) 

of the PBGC’s regulation on Premium 

Rates (29 CFR part 4006) prescribe use 

of an assumed interest rate (the 

‘‘required interest rate’’) in determining 

a single-employer plan’s variable-rate 

premium. The required interest rate is 

the ‘‘applicable percentage’’ (currently 

100 percent) of the annual yield on 30-

year Treasury securities for the month 

preceding the beginning of the plan year 

for which premiums are being paid (the 

‘‘premium payment year’’). (Although 

the Treasury Department has ceased 

issuing 30-year securities, the Internal 

Revenue Service announces a surrogate 

yield figure each month—based on the 

30-year Treasury bond maturing in 

February 2031—which the PBGC uses to 

determine the required interest rate.) 

The required interest rate to be used 

in determining variable-rate premiums 

for premium payment years beginning 

in June 2002 is 5.65 percent. 

The following table lists the required 

interest rates to be used in determining 

variable-rate premiums for premium 

payment years beginning between July 

2001 and June 2002.

For premium payment years 

beginning in—

the required 

interest rate 

is—

Multiemployer Plan Valuations 

Following Mass Withdrawal 

The PBGC’s regulation on Duties of 

Plan Sponsor Following Mass 

Withdrawal (29 CFR part 4281) 

prescribes the use of interest 

assumptions under the PBGC’s 

regulation on Allocation of Assets in 

Single-Employer Plans (29 CFR part 

4044). The interest assumptions 

applicable to valuation dates in July 

2002 under part 4044 are contained in 

an amendment to part 4044 published 

elsewhere in today’s Federal Register. 

Tables showing the assumptions 

applicable to prior periods are codified 

in appendix B to 29 CFR part 4044.

Issued in Washington, DC, on this 10th day 

of June, 2002.

Form 1203–FX, and OPM Form 1203–

Form 1203–EZ

AGENCY: Office of Personnel 

Management.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(Public Law 104–13, May 22, 1995), this 

notice announces that the Office of 

Personnel Management (OPM) 

submitted to the Office of Management 

and Budget a request for review of a 

revised information collection for 

Occupational Questionnaire (OPM 

Forms 1203–AW, 1203–FX and 1203–

EZ). The Occupational Questionnaire is 

an optical scan form designed to collect 

applicant information and qualifications 

in a format suitable for automated 

processing and to create applicant 

records for an automated examining 

system. Each version of this form 

contains a unique scan form identifier 

in the upper left-hand corner for the 

scanning equipment to recognize which 

version is being used. The 1203 series 

was commonly referred to as the 

Qualifications and Availability Form C. 

OPM has re-titled the series as 

Occupational Questionnaire, to fit a 

more generic need. OPM uses these 

forms to carry out its responsibility for 

open competitive examining for 

admission to the competitive service in 

accordance with section 3304, of title 5, 

United States Code. 

OPM Form 1203–AW is a scan form 

that contains a unique control number 

pre-printed within the footer of the form 

that is scanned in along with the 

applicant’s information. It is OPM’s 

intention to phase out this version of the 

Occupational Questionnaire during 

fiscal year 2002. Applicants will be 

asked to use OPM Form1203–FX or 

1203–EZ in its place. OPM will
