SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PBGC’s 

regulations prescribe actuarial valuation 

methods and assumptions (including 

interest rate assumptions) to be used to 

determine the actuarial present value of 

benefits under single-employer plans in 

involuntary or distress terminations (29 

CFR part 4044) and the present value of 

benefits and certain assets under 

multiemployer plans that undergo a 

mass withdrawal of contributing 

employers (29 CFR part 4281). In each 

month immediately preceding the start 

of a new calendar quarter, PBGC 

publishes the interest assumption to be 

used under those regulations for plans 

terminating or undergoing mass 

withdrawal during the next quarter. 

The interest assumption is intended 

to reflect current conditions in the 

group annuity markets. To determine 

the interest assumption, PBGC gathers 

premium rate data from insurance 

companies that are providing annuity 

contracts to terminating pension plans 

through a quarterly survey. The 

American Council of Life Insurers 

(ACLI) distributes the survey and 

provides PBGC with ‘‘double blind’’ 

data (i.e., PBGC is unable to match 

responses with the insurance companies 

that submitted them). PBGC also uses 

the information from the surveys to 

determine the interest assumption it 

uses to value benefits payable to 

participants and beneficiaries in PBGCtrusteed plans for purposes of PBGC’s 

financial statements. 

PBGC intends to make conforming, 

clarifying, and editorial changes to the 

survey forms and instructions. 

This voluntary survey is directed at 

insurance companies most, if not all, of 

which are members of ACLI. The survey 

is conducted quarterly and 

approximately 10 insurance companies 

will be asked to participate. PBGC 

estimates that about six insurance 

companies will respond to the survey 

each quarter, and that each survey will 

require approximately 30 minutes to 

complete and return. The total burden is 

estimated to be 12 hours (30 minutes 

per survey x four surveys per year x six 

respondents per quarter). 

The existing collection of information 

was approved under OMB control 

number 1212–0030 (expires July 31, 

2024). PBGC intends to request that 

OMB approve PBGC’s use of this form 

for 3 years. An agency may not conduct 

or sponsor, and a person is not required 

to respond to, a collection of 

information unless it displays a 

currently valid OMB control number. 

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.
