March 20, 2008 (PLANSPONSOR.com) - The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) announced it will publish a final rule to amend PBGC's regulations on Premium Rates and Payment of Premiums in the Federal Register on March 21.

The amendments implement provisions of the Pension Protection Act of 2006 that changed the variable-rate premium for plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2008, and make other changes to the regulations, the announcement said.
