have insufficient funds to reduce 

pension benefits payable to participants 

and beneficiaries if certain conditions 

are satisfied. In order to reduce benefits, 

the plan sponsor is required to submit 

an application to the Secretary of the 

Treasury, which Treasury, in 

consultation with the Pension Benefit 

Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) and the 

Department of Labor, is required to 

approve or deny. 

On December 23, 2015, the Board of 

Trustees of the Iron Workers Local 17 

Pension Plan submitted an application 

for approval to reduce benefits under 

the plan. Treasury received that 

application on December 28, 2015. As 

required by MPRA, that application has 

been published on Treasury’s Web site 

at http://www.treasury.gov/services/

Pages/Plan-Applications.aspx. Treasury 

is publishing this notice in the Federal 

Register, in consultation with PBGC and 

the Department of Labor, to solicit

17 Pension Plan. Consideration will be
