(a) General. The PBGC shall approve a request for a variance or exemption if PBGC determines that approval of the request is warranted, in that it—
(1) Would more effectively or equitably carry out the purposes of title IV of ERISA; and
(2) Would not significantly increase the risk of financial loss to the plan.
(b) Notice of pendency of request. As soon as practicable after receiving a variance or exemption request containing all the information specified in § 4204.21, the PBGC shall publish a notice of the pendency of the request in the Federal Register. The notice shall provide that any interested person may, within the period of time specified therein, submit written comments to the PBGC concerning the request. The notice will usually provide for a comment period of 45 days.
(c) PBGC decision on request. The PBGC shall issue a decision on a variance or exemption request as soon as practicable after the close of the comment period described in paragraph (b) of this section. PBGC's decision shall be in writing, and if the PBGC disapproves the request, the decision shall state the reasons therefor. Notice of the decision shall be published in the Federal Register.
