Abstract:
This revenue procedure describes the process for obtaining a letter ruling as to the acceptability of substitute mortality tables under section 430(h)(3)(C) of the Code.
Emergency Justfication:
Although the annual, general revenue procedure on EP and EO letter rulings has a valid OMB control number, this specialized revenue procedure is a result of a legislative mandate and generates additional and unanticipated collections of information under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. Section 430(h)(3) of the Code, as added by Congress in the Pension Protection Act of 2006, describes the prerequisites for substitute mortality tables that must be followed. Among the criteria is the requirement in section 430(h)(3)(C)(v)(I) that the submission must be made at least 7 months before the first day of the first plan year that the particular substitute mortality table is applicable. Accordingly, if a plan seeks a ruling as to the acceptability of a substitute mortality table, the submission must be made before June 1, 2007. Section 430 is applicable for plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2008. An affected, eligible employer may rely on a ruling on an actual substitute mortality table for 10 years. Moreover, absent the attached revenue procedure affected, eligible employers would, in the ordinary course of the their businesses, take the time, energy and effort to create substitute mortality tables because the reduced costs in funding their defined benefit plans may far exceed the costs involved in the creation of substitute mortality tables. The revenue procedure provides a method for affected, eligible employers to obtain assurance as to the acceptability of their substitute mortality tables, and therefore, substantial savings.
