Short Statement:
In the final rule published on August 15, 2025, PBGC made changes to the forms and instructions related to the Missing Participants Program. However, the changes to these materials do not create any additional burden. For calendar years 2026-2028, PBGC determined that there will be a decrease in the expected number of total Missing Participants Program filings from 345 to 340. The decrease in the expected number of filings results in a decrease in the estimated total annual hour burden from 70 to 68 hours and a decrease in the estimated total annual cost burden from $497,835 to $490,620.
