EMPLOYEE PLANS

Notice 2017–72 Notice 2017–72

This notice contains the 2017 Required Amendments List for individually designed qualified retirement plans. The list identifies certain changes in qualification requirements that became effective in 2017 that may require a retirement plan to be amended in order to remain qualified, and establishes the date by which any necessary amendment must be made.

Notice 2017–76 Notice 2017–76

This notice sets forth updates on the corporate bond monthly yield curve, the corresponding spot segment rates for December 2017 used under § 417(e)(3)(D), the 24-month average segment rates applicable for December 2017, and the 30-year Treasury rates. These rates reflect the application of § 430(h)(2)(C)(iv), which was added by the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act, Public Law 112–141 (MAP-21) and amended by section 2003 of the Highway and Transportation Funding Act of 2014 (HATFA).

INCOME TAX

Notice 2017–75 Notice 2017–75

This notice provides guidance on the application of sections 409A and 457A. Specifically, this guidance addresses the transition provisions enacted as part of section 457A that generally provide that amounts deferred and attributable to services performed before January 1, 2009, that would otherwise have been subject to inclusion in income under section 457A, are includible in gross income in the later of the last taxable year beginning before 2018 or the date of vesting. As amounts have become includible in income during 2017, stakeholders have raised questions concerning the ability to make distributions to pay the income taxes due on these amounts and still maintain compliance with section 409A. This notice provides that service recipients may accelerate distributions to pay income taxes on amounts includible in 2017 without violating section 409A. This notice supplements the guidance provided in Notice 2009–8, 2009–4 IRB 347 (January 26, 2009), and is not intended to supersede or modify any of the guidance provided in Notice 2009–8.

Preface

The IRS Mission

Provide America’s taxpayers top-quality service by helping them understand and meet their tax responsibilities and enforce the law with integrity and fairness to all.

Introduction

The Internal Revenue Bulletin is the authoritative instrument of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue for announcing official rulings and procedures of the Internal Revenue Service and for publishing Treasury Decisions, Executive Orders, Tax Conventions, legislation, court decisions, and other items of general interest. It is published weekly.

It is the policy of the Service to publish in the Bulletin all substantive rulings necessary to promote a uniform application of the tax laws, including all rulings that supersede, revoke, modify, or amend any of those previously published in the Bulletin. All published rulings apply retroactively unless otherwise indicated. Procedures relating solely to matters of internal management are not published; however, statements of internal practices and procedures that affect the rights and duties of taxpayers are published.

Revenue rulings represent the conclusions of the Service on the application of the law to the pivotal facts stated in the revenue ruling. In those based on positions taken in rulings to taxpayers or technical advice to Service field offices, identifying details and information of a confidential nature are deleted to prevent unwarranted invasions of privacy and to comply with statutory requirements.

Rulings and procedures reported in the Bulletin do not have the force and effect of Treasury Department Regulations, but they may be used as precedents. Unpublished rulings will not be relied on, used, or cited as precedents by Service personnel in the disposition of other cases. In applying published rulings and procedures, the effect of subsequent legislation, regulations, court decisions, rulings, and procedures must be considered, and Service personnel and others concerned are cautioned against reaching the same conclusions in other cases unless the facts and circumstances are substantially the same.

The Bulletin is divided into four parts as follows:

Part I.—1986 Code. This part includes rulings and decisions based on provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

Part II.—Treaties and Tax Legislation. This part is divided into two subparts as follows: Subpart A, Tax Conventions and Other Related Items, and Subpart B, Legislation and Related Committee Reports.

Part III.—Administrative, Procedural, and Miscellaneous. To the extent practicable, pertinent cross references to these subjects are contained in the other Parts and Subparts. Also included in this part are Bank Secrecy Act Administrative Rulings. Bank Secrecy Act Administrative Rulings are issued by the Department of the Treasury’s Office of the Assistant Secretary (Enforcement).

Part IV.—Items of General Interest. This part includes notices of proposed rulemakings, disbarment and suspension lists, and announcements.

The last Bulletin for each month includes a cumulative index for the matters published during the preceding months. These monthly indexes are cumulated on a semiannual basis, and are published in the last Bulletin of each semiannual period.

Part I. Rulings and Decisions Under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986

Rev. Rul. 2017–25

Section 6621 of the Internal Revenue Code establishes the interest rates on overpayments and underpayments of tax. Under section 6621(a)(1), the overpayment rate is the sum of the federal short-term rate plus 3 percentage points (2 percentage points in the case of a corporation), except the rate for the portion of a corporate overpayment of tax exceeding $10,000 for a taxable period is the sum of the federal short-term rate plus 0.5 of a percentage point. Under section 6621(a)(2), the underpayment rate is the sum of the federal short-term rate plus 3 percentage points.

Section 6621(c) provides that for purposes of interest payable under section 6601 on any large corporate underpayment, the underpayment rate under section 6621(a)(2) is determined by substituting “5 percentage points” for “3 percentage points.” See section 6621(c) and section 301.6621–3 of the Regulations on Procedure and Administration for the definition of a large corporate underpayment and for the rules for determining the applicable date. Section 6621(c) and section 301.6621–3 are generally effective for periods after December 31, 1990.

Section 6621(b)(1) provides that the Secretary will determine the federal short-term rate for the first month in each calendar quarter. Section 6621(b)(2)(A) provides that the federal short-term rate determined under section 6621(b)(1) for any month applies during the first calendar quarter beginning after that month. Section 6621(b)(3) provides that the federal short-term rate for any month is the federal short-term rate determined during that month by the Secretary in accordance with section 1274(d), rounded to the nearest full percent (or, if a multiple of 1/2 of 1 percent, the rate is increased to the next highest full percent).

Notice 88–59, 1988–1 C.B. 546, announced that in determining the quarterly interest rates to be used for overpayments and underpayments of tax under section 6621, the Internal Revenue Service will use the federal short-term rate based on daily compounding because that rate is most consistent with section 6621 which, pursuant to section 6622, is subject to daily compounding.

The federal short-term rate determined in accordance with section 1274(d) during October 2017 is the rate published in Revenue Ruling 2017–21, 2017–45 IRB 482, to take effect beginning November 1, 2017. The federal short-term rate, rounded to the nearest full percent, based on daily compounding determined during the month of October 2017 is 1 percent. Accordingly, an overpayment rate of 4 percent (3 percent in the case of a corporation) and an underpayment rate of 4 percent are established for the calendar quarter beginning January 1, 2018. The overpayment rate for the portion of a corporate overpayment exceeding $10,000 for the calendar quarter beginning January 1, 2018 is 1.5 percent. The underpayment rate for large corporate underpayments for the calendar quarter beginning January 1, 2018, is 6 percent. These rates apply to amounts bearing interest during that calendar quarter.

Sections 6654(a)(1) and 6655(a)(1) provide that the underpayment rate established under section 6621 applies in determining the addition to tax under sections 6654 and 6655 for failure to pay estimated tax for any taxable year. Thus, the 4 percent rate also applies to estimated tax underpayments for the first calendar quarter beginning January 1, 2018. Pursuant to section 6621(b)(2)(B), in determining the addition to tax under section 6654 for any taxable year for an individual, the federal short-term rate that applies during the third month following the taxable year also applies during the first 15 days of the 4th month following the taxable year. In addition, pursuant to section 6603(d)(4), the rate of interest on section 6603 deposits is 1 percent for the first calendar quarter in 2018.

Interest factors for daily compound interest for annual rates of 1.5 percent, 3 percent, 4 percent and 6 percent are published in Tables 8, 11, 13 and 17 of Rev. Proc. 95–17, 1995–1 C.B. 562, 565, 567 and 571.

Annual interest rates to be compounded daily pursuant to section 6622 that apply for prior periods are set forth in the tables accompanying this revenue ruling.

Notice 2017–72

2017 Required Amendments List for Qualified Retirement Plans

I. PURPOSE

This notice contains the Required Amendments List for 2017 (2017 RA List). Section 5 of Rev. Proc. 2016–37, 2016–29 I.R.B. 136, provides that, in the case of an individually designed plan, the remedial amendment period for a disqualifying provision arising as a result of a change in qualification requirements generally is extended to the end of the second calendar year that begins after the issuance of the Required Amendments List (RA List) in which the change in qualification requirements appears. Pursuant to section 5.05(3) of Rev. Proc. 2016–37, this notice provides that December 31, 2019, is generally the last day of the remedial amendment period with respect to a disqualifying provision arising as a result of a change in qualification requirements that appears on this 2017 RA List. As a result, under sections 8.01 and 5.05(3) of Rev. Proc. 2016–37, December 31, 2019, is also generally the plan amendment deadline for a disqualifying provision arising as a result of a change in qualification requirements that appears on the 2017 RA List. However, a later date may apply to a governmental plan (as defined in § 414(d)) pursuant to sections 8.01 and 5.06(3) of Rev. Proc. 2016–37.

II. BACKGROUND

Section 401(b) of the Internal Revenue Code (Code) provides a remedial amendment period during which a plan may be amended retroactively to comply with the qualification requirements under § 401(a). Section 1.401(b)–1 describes the disqualifying provisions that may be amended retroactively and the remedial amendment period during which retroactive amendments may be adopted. Those regulations also grant the Commissioner the discretion to designate certain plan provisions as disqualifying provisions and to extend the remedial amendment period.

Rev. Proc. 2016–37 eliminates, as of January 1, 2017, the five-year remedial amendment cycle system for individually designed plans that was set forth in Rev. Proc. 2007–44, 2007–2 C.B. 54.

Sections 5.05(3) and 5.06(3) of Rev. Proc. 2016–37 extend the remedial amendment period for individually designed plans to correct disqualifying provisions that arise as a result of a change in qualification requirements. Under section 5.05(3), the remedial amendment period for a plan that is not a governmental plan (as defined in § 414(d)) is extended to the end of the second calendar year that begins after the issuance of the RA List on which the change in qualification requirements appears. Section 5.06(3) provides a special rule for governmental plans that could further extend the remedial amendment period in some cases.

Section 8.01 of Rev. Proc. 2016–37 provides that the plan amendment deadline with respect to a disqualifying provision described in section 5 of Rev. Proc. 2016–37 is the date on which the remedial amendment period ends with respect to that disqualifying provision.

Section 9 of Rev. Proc. 2016–37 provides that the Department of the Treasury (the Treasury Department) and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) intend to publish annually an RA List. In general, a change in qualification requirements will not appear on an RA List until guidance with respect to that change (including, in certain cases, model amendments) has been provided in regulations or in other guidance published in the Internal Revenue Bulletin. However, in the discretion of the Treasury Department and the IRS, a change in qualification requirements may be included on an RA List in other circumstances, such as in cases in which a statutory change is enacted and the Treasury Department and the IRS anticipate that no guidance will be issued.

III. CONTENT AND ORGANIZATION OF RA LIST

In general, an RA List includes statutory and administrative changes in qualification requirements that are first effective during the plan year in which the list is published.[1] However, an RA List does not include guidance issued or legislation enacted after the list has been prepared and also does not include:

  • Statutory changes in qualification requirements for which the Treasury Department and the IRS expect to issue guidance (which would be included on an RA List issued in a future year);

  • Changes in qualification requirements that permit (but do not require) optional plan provisions (in contrast to changes in the qualification requirements that cause existing plan provisions, which may include optional plan provisions previously adopted, to become disqualifying provisions);[2] or

  • Changes in the tax laws affecting qualified plans that do not change the qualification requirements under § 401(a) (such as changes to the tax treatment of plan distributions, or changes to the funding requirements for qualified plans).

The RA List is divided into two parts. Part A covers changes in qualification requirements that generally would require an amendment to most plans or to most plans of the type affected by the change.

Part B includes changes in qualification requirements that the Treasury Department and the IRS anticipate will not require amendments to most plans, but might require an amendment because of an unusual plan provision in a particular plan. If a change affects a particular qualification requirement that most plans incorporate by reference, Part B would include the change because a particular plan might not incorporate the qualification requirement by reference and, thus, might contain language inconsistent with the change. For example, as provided in the 2016 RA List, if a defined benefit plan incorporates the limitation of § 436(d)(2) by reference to the statute or regulations (or through the use of the sample amendment in Notice 2011–96, 2011–52 I.R.B. 915), no amendment to the plan would be required to comply with the changes made by section 2003 of the Highway Transportation and Funding Act of 2014. P.L. 113–159. However, a plan that sets forth the substantive requirements of § 436(d)(2) and that does not incorporate the limitation of § 436(d)(2) by reference to the statute or regulations, or through the use of the sample amendment in Notice 2011–96, may need to be amended.

Annual, monthly, or other periodic changes to (1) the various dollar limits that are adjusted for cost of living increases as provided in § 415(d) or other Code provisions, (2) the spot segment rates used to determine the applicable interest rate under § 417(e)(3), and (3) the applicable mortality table under § 417(e)(3), are treated as included on the RA List for the year in which such changes are effective even though they are not directly referenced on that RA List. The Treasury Department and the IRS anticipate that few plans have language that will need to be amended on account of these changes.

The fact that a change in a qualification requirement is included on the RA List does not mean that a plan must be amended as a result of that change. Each plan sponsor must determine whether a particular change in a qualification requirement requires an amendment to its plan.

IV. 2017 REQUIRED AMENDMENTS LIST

Part A. Changes in qualification requirements that generally would require an amendment to most plans or to most plans of the type affected by the change.

 

  • Final regulations regarding cash balance/hybrid plans (79 Fed. Reg. 56442, 80 Fed. Reg. 70680). Cash balance/hybrid plans must be amended to the extent necessary to comply with those portions of the regulations regarding market rate of return and other requirements that first become applicable to the plan for the plan year beginning in 2017. (This requirement does not apply to those collectively bargained plans that do not become subject to these portions of the regulations until 2018 or 2019 under the extended applicability dates provided in § 1.411(b)(5)–1(f)(2)(B)(3).)

Note: The relief from the anti-cutback requirements of § 411(d)(6) provided in § 1.411(b)(5)–1(e)(3)(vi) applies only to plan amendments that are adopted before the effective date of these regulations.

Note: See also Notice 2016–67, 2016–47 I.R.B. 748, which addresses the applicability of the market rate of return rules to implicit interest pension equity plans.

  • Benefit restrictions for certain defined benefit plans that are eligible cooperative plans or eligible charity plans described in section 104 of the Pension Protection Act of 2006, as amended (PPA). An eligible cooperative plan or eligible charity plan that was not subject to the benefit restrictions of § 436 for the 2016 plan year under § 104 of PPA ordinarily becomes subject to those restrictions for plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2017. However, a plan that fits within the definition of a “CSEC plan” (as defined in § 414(y)) continues not to be subject to those rules unless the plan sponsor has made an election for the plan not to be treated as a CSEC plan.

Part B. Other changes in qualification requirements that may require an amendment.

 

  • Final regulations regarding partial annuity distribution options for defined benefit pension plans (81 Fed. Reg. 62359). Defined benefit plans that permit benefits to be paid partly in the form of an annuity and partly as a single sum (or other accelerated form) must do so in a manner that complies with the § 417(e) regulations. Section 1.417(e)–1(d)(7) provides rules under which the minimum present value rules of § 417(e)(3) apply to the distribution of only a portion of a participant’s accrued benefit. Section 1.417(e)–1(d)(7) applies to distributions with annuity starting dates in plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2017, but taxpayers may elect to apply § 1.417(e)–1(d)(7) with respect to any earlier period.

Note: The regulations provide relief from the anti-cutback rules of § 411(d)(6) for certain amendments adopted on or before December 31, 2017.

Note: Model amendments that a sponsor of a qualified defined benefit plan may use to amend its plan to offer bifurcated benefit distribution options in accordance with these final regulations are provided in Notice 2017–44, 2017–36 I.R.B. 226.

[1] RA Lists also may include changes in qualification requirements that were first effective in a prior year that were not included on a prior RA List under certain circumstances, such as changes in qualification requirements that were issued or enacted after the prior year’s RA List was prepared.

[2] The remedial amendment period and plan amendment deadline for discretionary changes to the terms of a plan are governed by sections 5.05(2), 5.06(2), and 8.02 of Rev. Proc. 2016-37, and are not affected by the inclusion of a change in qualification requirements on an RA List.

Notice 2017–75

Guidance Under Section 409A for Pre-2009 Section 457A Deferrals

I. Purpose

This notice provides guidance on the application of Internal Revenue Code (Code) section 409A with respect to amounts that are includible in income pursuant to section 801(d)(2) of the Tax Extenders and Alternative Minimum Tax Relief Act of 2008, Div. C of Pub. L. No. 110–343 (TEAMTRA). Section 801(a) of TEAMTRA added section 457A to the Code. Section 457A generally applies to deferred amounts that are attributable to services performed after December 31, 2008. However, if section 457A does not apply to a deferred amount solely because the amount is attributable to services performed before 2009, section 801(d)(2) of TEAMTRA provides that the amount is includible in gross income in the later of the last taxable year beginning before 2018 or the taxable year of vesting. This guidance provides that a nonqualified deferred compensation plan that is subject to the provisions of Code section 409A will not fail to meet the requirements of section 409A solely because payments of deferred amounts under the plan are accelerated to pay income taxes on the amounts includible in income pursuant to section 801(d)(2) of TEAMTRA. This notice is intended to supplement, not supersede or modify, the guidance provided in Notice 2009–8, 2009–4 IRB 347 (Jan. 26, 2009).

II. Background

A. Section 457A and Section 801(d)(2) of TEAMTRA

Section 457A generally provides that compensation deferred under a nonqualified deferred compensation plan of a nonqualified entity is includible in gross income when there is no substantial risk of forfeiture of the rights to such compensation. For this purpose, section 457A(d)(3) provides that the term “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” has the meaning provided under section 409A(d), subject to certain modifications, and section 457A(b) provides that the term “nonqualified entity” means (1) any foreign corporation unless substantially all of its income is (a) effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States, or (b) subject to a comprehensive foreign income tax, and (2) any partnership unless substantially all of its income is allocated to persons other than (a) foreign persons with respect to whom such income is not subject to a comprehensive foreign income tax, and (b) tax-exempt organizations.

Section 457A was added to the Code by section 801(a) of TEAMTRA, which was enacted on October 3, 2008. Section 801(d)(1) of TEAMTRA provides that “the amendments made by this section shall apply to amounts deferred which are attributable to services performed after December 31, 2008.” Section 801(d)(2) of TEAMTRA further provides, however, that “any amount deferred to which the amendments made by this section do not apply solely by reason of the fact that the amount is attributable to services performed before January 1, 2009, to the extent such amount is not includible in gross income in a taxable year beginning before 2018, . . . shall be includible in gross income in the later of – (A) the last taxable year beginning before 2018, or (B) the taxable year in which there is no substantial risk of forfeiture of the rights to such compensation . . . .”

B. Section 409A and Accelerated Distributions

Section 409A(a)(3) provides that, except as provided in regulations issued by the Secretary, a nonqualified deferred compensation plan may not permit the acceleration of the time or schedule of any payment under the plan. Section 1.409A–3(j) provides that a nonqualified deferred compensation plan may permit the acceleration of the time or schedule of any payment only pursuant to an exception provided in § 1.409A–3(j)(4). Section 1.409A–3(j)(4) does not provide an exception that allows a service provider to receive an accelerated distribution to pay income taxes due on amounts includible in income under section 801(d)(2) of TEAMTRA.

C. Notice 2009–8 and the Application of Section 409A to Pre-2009 Section 457A Deferrals

Notice 2009–8, Q&A–25 provides that, for deferred amounts attributable to services performed before January 1, 2009, that are required to be included in gross income in the later of the last taxable year beginning before 2018 or the taxable year in which there is no substantial risk of forfeiture of the rights to the compensation (pre-2009 section 457A deferrals), a change in the time and form of payment to conform the date of distribution to the date the amount may be required to be included in income under section 801(d)(2) of TEAMTRA will not be treated as an impermissible acceleration under section 409A(a)(3) and § 1.409A–3(j) provided that the change in the time and form of payment was established in writing and effective on or before December 31, 2011. In addition, Notice 2009–8, Q&A–25 provides that, to the extent a deferred amount attributable to services performed before January 1, 2009, was earned and vested before December 31, 2004, and is not otherwise subject to the requirements of section 409A due to the effective date rules under § 1.409A–6, a change in the time and form of payment solely to conform the date of distribution to the date the amount may be required to be included in income under section 801(d)(2) of TEAMTRA is not treated as a material modification of the arrangement under § 1.409A–6(a)(4) provided that the change in the time and form of payment is established in writing and effective on or before December 31, 2011.

III. Guidance Permitting Accelerated Distributions to Pay Income Taxes on Pre-2009 Section 457A Deferrals

Pursuant to the authority provided in section 409A(a)(3), the Department of the Treasury (Treasury Department) and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) intend to issue regulations applicable as of December 08, 2017 providing the relief set forth in this paragraph; taxpayers may rely on the relief described in this paragraph until the regulations are finalized. The regulations will permit the acceleration of payments under a nonqualified deferred compensation plan to pay Federal, state, local, and foreign income taxes due on pre-2009 section 457A deferrals that are includible in gross income. Specifically, the Treasury Department and the IRS intend to issue regulations providing that a change in the time and form of payment under a nonqualified deferred compensation plan to pay Federal, state, local, and foreign income taxes on pre-2009 section 457A deferrals will not be treated as an impermissible acceleration under section 409A(a)(3) and § 1.409A–3(j)(1). These regulations will also provide that, to the extent a deferred amount attributable to services performed before January 1, 2009, was earned and vested before December 31, 2004, and is not otherwise subject to the requirements of section 409A due to the effective date rules under § 1.409A–6, a change in the time and form of payment of the deferred amount to pay Federal, state, local, and foreign income taxes on pre-2009 section 457A deferrals will not be treated as a material modification of such arrangement under § 1.409A–6(a)(4). The relief provided in these regulations will apply only to the extent that that the amount of any distribution to pay Federal, state, local, and foreign income taxes on pre-2009 section 457A deferrals is not more than an amount equal to the Federal, state, local, and foreign income tax withholding that would have been remitted by an employer if there had been a payment of wages equal to the income includible by the service provider under section 801(d)(2) of TEAMTRA.

Notice 2017–76

Update for Weighted Average Interest Rates, Yield Curves, and Segment Rates

This notice provides guidance on the corporate bond monthly yield curve, the corresponding spot segment rates used under § 417(e)(3), and the 24-month average segment rates under § 430(h)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code. In addition, this notice provides guidance as to the interest rate on 30-year Treasury securities under § 417(e)(3)(A)(ii)(II) as in effect for plan years beginning before 2008 and the 30-year Treasury weighted average rate under § 431(c)(6)(E)(ii)(I).

YIELD CURVE AND SEGMENT RATES

Generally, except for certain plans under section 104 of the Pension Protection Act of 2006 and CSEC plans under § 414(y), § 430 of the Code specifies the minimum funding requirements that apply to single-employer plans pursuant to § 412. Section 430(h)(2) specifies the interest rates that must be used to determine a plan’s target normal cost and funding target. Under this provision, present value is generally determined using three 24-month average interest rates (“segment rates”), each of which applies to cash flows during specified periods. To the extent provided under § 430(h)(2)(C)(iv), these segment rates are adjusted by the applicable percentage of the 25-year average segment rates for the period ending September 30 of the year preceding the calendar year in which the plan year begins.[3] However, an election may be made under § 430(h)(2)(D)(ii) to use the monthly yield curve in place of the segment rates.

Notice 2007–81, 2007–44 I.R.B. 899, provides guidelines for determining the monthly corporate bond yield curve, and the 24-month average corporate bond segment rates used to compute the target normal cost and the funding target. Consistent with the methodology specified in Notice 2007–81, the monthly corporate bond yield curve derived from November 2017 data is in Table 2017–11 at the end of this notice. The spot first, second, and third segment rates for the month of November 2017 are, respectively, 2.20, 3.57, and 4.24.

The 24-month average segment rates determined under § 430(h)(2)(C)(i) through (iii) must be adjusted pursuant to § 430(h)(2)(C)(iv) to be within the applicable minimum and maximum percentages of the corresponding 25-year average segment rates. For plan years beginning before 2021, the applicable minimum percentage is 90% and the applicable maximum percentage is 110%. The 25-year average segment rates for plan years beginning in 2016, 2017, and 2018 were published in Notice 2015–61, 2015–39 I.R.B. 408, Notice 2016–54, 2016–40 I.R.B. 429, and Notice 2017–50, 2017–41 I.R.B. 280, respectively.

24-MONTH AVERAGE CORPORATE BOND SEGMENT RATES

The three 24-month average corporate bond segment rates applicable for December 2017 without adjustment for the 25-year average segment rate limits are as follows:

24-Month Average Segment Rates Without 25-year Average Adjustment              
Applicable Month First Segment Second Segment Third Segment        
December 2017 1.79 3.70 4.56        

Based on § 430(h)(2)(C)(iv), the 24-month averages applicable for December 2017, adjusted to be within the applicable minimum and maximum percentages of the corresponding 25-year average segment rates, are as follows:

Adjusted 24-Month Average Segment Rates              
For Plan Years Beginning In Applicable Month First Segment Second Segment Third Segment      
2016 December 2017 4.43 5.91 6.65      
2017 December 2017 4.16 5.72 6.48      
2018 December 2017 3.92 5.52 6.29      

 

30-YEAR TREASURY SECURITIES INTEREST RATES

Generally for plan years beginning after 2007, § 431 specifies the minimum funding requirements that apply to multiemployer plans pursuant to § 412. Section 431(c)(6)(B) specifies a minimum amount for the full-funding limitation described in § 431(c)(6)(A), based on the plan’s current liability. Section 431(c)(6)(E)(ii)(I) provides that the interest rate used to calculate current liability for this purpose must be no more than 5 percent above and no more than 10 percent below the weighted average of the rates of interest on 30-year Treasury securities during the four-year period ending on the last day before the beginning of the plan year. Notice 88–73, 1988–2 C.B. 383, provides guidelines for determining the weighted average interest rate. The rate of interest on 30-year Treasury securities for November 2017 is 2.80 percent. The Service determined this rate as the average of the daily determinations of yield on the 30-year Treasury bond maturing in August 2047 determined each day through November 8, 2017 and the yield on the 30-year Treasury bond maturing in November 2047 determined each day for the balance of the month. For plan years beginning in December 2017, the weighted average of the rates of interest on 30-year Treasury securities and the permissible range of rates used to calculate current liability are as follows:

Treasury Weighted Average Rates              
For Plan Years Beginning In 30-Year Treasury Weighted Average Permissible Range 90% to 105%          
December 2017 2.85 2.57 to 3.00          

 

MINIMUM PRESENT VALUE SEGMENT RATES

In general, the applicable interest rates under § 417(e)(3)(D) are segment rates computed without regard to a 24-month average. Notice 2007–81 provides guidelines for determining the minimum present value segment rates. Pursuant to that notice, the minimum present value segment rates determined for November 2017 are as follows:

2017 are as follows:

Minimum Present Value Segment Rates              
Month First Segment Second Segment Third Segment        
November 2017 2.20 3.57 4.24

Definition of Terms and Abbreviations

Definition of Terms

Revenue rulings and revenue procedures (hereinafter referred to as “rulings”) that have an effect on previous rulings use the following defined terms to describe the effect:

Amplified describes a situation where no change is being made in a prior published position, but the prior position is being extended to apply to a variation of the fact situation set forth therein. Thus, if an earlier ruling held that a principle applied to A, and the new ruling holds that the same principle also applies to B, the earlier ruling is amplified. (Compare with modified, below).

Clarified is used in those instances where the language in a prior ruling is being made clear because the language has caused, or may cause, some confusion. It is not used where a position in a prior ruling is being changed.

Distinguished describes a situation where a ruling mentions a previously published ruling and points out an essential difference between them.

Modified is used where the substance of a previously published position is being changed. Thus, if a prior ruling held that a principle applied to A but not to B, and the new ruling holds that it applies to both A and B, the prior ruling is modified because it corrects a published position. (Compare with amplified and clarified, above).

Obsoleted describes a previously published ruling that is not considered determinative with respect to future transactions. This term is most commonly used in a ruling that lists previously published rulings that are obsoleted because of changes in laws or regulations. A ruling may also be obsoleted because the substance has been included in regulations subsequently adopted.

Revoked describes situations where the position in the previously published ruling is not correct and the correct position is being stated in a new ruling.

Superseded describes a situation where the new ruling does nothing more than restate the substance and situation of a previously published ruling (or rulings). Thus, the term is used to republish under the 1986 Code and regulations the same position published under the 1939 Code and regulations. The term is also used when it is desired to republish in a single ruling a series of situations, names, etc., that were previously published over a period of time in separate rulings. If the new ruling does more than restate the substance of a prior ruling, a combination of terms is used. For example, modified and superseded describes a situation where the substance of a previously published ruling is being changed in part and is continued without change in part and it is desired to restate the valid portion of the previously published ruling in a new ruling that is self contained. In this case, the previously published ruling is first modified and then, as modified, is superseded.

Supplemented is used in situations in which a list, such as a list of the names of countries, is published in a ruling and that list is expanded by adding further names in subsequent rulings. After the original ruling has been supplemented several times, a new ruling may be published that includes the list in the original ruling and the additions, and supersedes all prior rulings in the series.

Suspended is used in rare situations to show that the previous published rulings will not be applied pending some future action such as the issuance of new or amended regulations, the outcome of cases in litigation, or the outcome of a Service study.
