(b) Treatment of plan. The successor plan will be treated as a terminated multiemployer plan to which
section 4041A(d) of ERISA applies because there are no contributing employers with an obligation to contribute within the meaning of
section 4212 of ERISA as of the effective date of the partition. The treatment of the successor plan as a terminated plan under this paragraph will not be taken into account for purposes of determining the withdrawal liability of contributing employers to the original plan under
sections 4201 and
4233(d)(3) of ERISA.
