(a) Retention requirement.
(1) Persons subject to requirement. Each contributing sponsor and the plan administrator of a plan terminating in a standard termination, or in a distress termination that closes out in accordance with § 4041.50, must maintain all records necessary to demonstrate compliance with section 4041 of ERISA and this part. A record may be maintained in any format that reasonably ensures the integrity of the original information and that allows the record to be converted to hardcopy if necessary under paragraph (b) of this section. If a contributing sponsor or the plan administrator maintains information in accordance with this paragraph (a)(1), the other(s) need not maintain that information.
(2) Retention period. The records described in paragraph (a)(1) of this section must be preserved for six years after the date when the post-distribution certification under this part is filed with the PBGC.
(b) Availability of records. The contributing sponsor or plan administrator must make all records needed to determine compliance with section 4041 of ERISA and this part available to the PBGC upon request for inspection and photocopying, and must submit such records to the PBGC within 30 days after the date of a written request by the PBGC or by a later date specified therein. Unless the PBGC agrees to a different format, records must be submitted in hardcopy.
