SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Special Rules for SingleEmployer Defined Benefit Pension Plans 

(TD 9467) and Election of Alternative 

Minimum Funding Standards for 

Community Newspaper Plans (Notice 

2020–60). 

OMB Number: 1545–2095. 

Regulation and Notice Number: REG– 

139236–07 (TD 9467) and Notice 2020– 

60. 

Abstract: REG–139236–07 (TD 9467): 

The information required under section 

1.430(f)–1(f) is required in order for plan 

sponsors to make elections regarding a 

plan’s credit balances upon occasion. 

The information required under section 

1.430(h)(2)–1(e) is required in order for 

a plan sponsor to make an election to 

use an alternative interest rate for 

purposes of determining a plan’s 

funding obligations under section 

1.430(h)(2)–1. The information required 

under sections 1.436–1(f) and 1.436– 

1(h) is required in order for a qualified 

defined benefit plan’s enrolled actuary 

to provide a timely certification of the 

plan’s adjusted funding target 

attainment percentage (AFTAP) for each 

plan year to avoid certain benefit 

restrictions. 

Notice 2020–60 (Election of 

Alternative Minimum Funding 

Standards for Community Newspaper 

Plans): Section 115(a) of the Setting 

Every Community Up for Retirement 

Enhancement Act of 2019 (SECURE 

Act), Division O of the Further 

Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020, 

Pub. L. 116–94, under section 430(m) to 

the Code permit the plan sponsor of a 

community newspaper plan under 

which no participant has had an 

increase in accrued benefit after 

December 31, 2017 to elect to have 

alternative minimum funding standards 

apply to the plan in lieu of the 

minimum funding requirements that 

would otherwise apply under section 

430. Pursuant to section 430(m)(2), any 

election under section 430(m) will be 

made at such time and in such manner 

as prescribed by the Secretary, and once 

an election is made with respect to a 

plan year, it will apply to all subsequent 

plan years unless revoked with the 

consent of the Secretary. Notice 2020– 

60 provides guidance regarding this 

election. 

Current Actions: There are changes to 

the collection and paperwork burden 

previously approved by OMB. The 

election under Internal Revenue Code 

section 3608(b) of the CARES Act 

(Notice 2020–61) is no longer relevant. 

It is an election to treat a DB plan’s 

adjusted funding target attainment 

percentage (AFTAP) for the last plan 

year ending before January 1, 2020 as 

the AFTAP for plan years that include 

calendar year 2020. The election under 

Notice 2021–48 was for extended 

amortization bases to apply the 

extended amortization period for 

shortfall amortization bases for plan 

years beginning after December 31, 

2018, December 31, 2019, or December 

31, 2020. This extended period now 

applies for all DB plans. The election 

was available on a temporary basis and 

is no longer available. The agency has 

changed the estimated number of 

respondents from 20 to 2 as it is 

expected that any community 

newspaper plan sponsor that wanted to 

make this election have made it already, 

and the plan sponsors that are eligible 

for this election would be very small. 

REG–139236–07 (TD 9467), remains the 

same with the same estimates as 

previously approved by OMB. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households, and businesses or other forprofit organizations, not-for-profit, 

institutions, farms, and Federal, State, 

local or Tribal governments. 

TD 9467 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

80,000. 

Estimated Time per Respondent: 1.5 

hrs. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 120,000. 

Notice 2020–60 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 2. 

Estimated Time per Respondent: 4 hr. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 80. 

The following paragraph applies to all 

the collections of information covered 

by this notice. 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information 

unless the collection of information 

displays a valid OMB control number. 

Books or records relating to a collection 

of information must be retained if their 

contents may become material in the 

administration of any internal revenue 

law. Generally, tax returns and tax 

return information are confidential, as 

required by 26 U.S.C. 6103. 

Request for Comments: Comments 

submitted in response to this notice will 

be summarized and/or included in the 

request for OMB approval. All 

comments will become a matter of 

public record. Comments are invited on: 

(a) whether the collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of the functions of the agency, including 

whether the information shall have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

collection of information; (c) ways to 

enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 

of the information to be collected; (d) 

ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on 

respondents, including through the use 

of automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology; 

and (e) estimates of capital or start-up 

costs and costs of operation, 

maintenance, and purchase of services 

to provide information. 

Approved: January 17, 2025.
