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

85 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’’). The yield

figure is reported in Federal Reserve

Statistical Releases G.13 and H.15.

The required interest rate to be used

in determining variable-rate premiums

for premium payment years beginning

in September 2001 is 4.66 percent (i.e.,

85 percent of the 5.48 percent yield

figure for August 2001).

The following table lists the required

interest rates to be used in determining

variable-rate premiums for premium

payment years beginning between

October 2000 and September 2001.

Multiemployer Plan Valuations

Following Mass Withdrawal

The PBGC’s regulation on Duties of

Plan Sponsor Following Mass

Withdrawal (29 CFR part 4281)

4044). The interest assumptions

applicable to valuation dates in October

2001 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 11th day
