``SEC. 4233. PARTITIONS OF ELIGIBLE MULTIEMPLOYER PLANS.

    ``(a)(1) Upon the application by the plan sponsor of an eligible 
multiemployer plan for a partition of the plan, the corporation may 
order a partition of the plan in accordance with this section. The 
corporation shall make a determination regarding the application, in 
accordance with regulations promulgated by the corporation, not later 
than 270 days after--

            ``(B) if later, the date such application was completed.
    ``(2) At least 14 days before submitting an application for 
partition of a plan under paragraph (1), the plan sponsor of the plan 
shall notify all participants and beneficiaries of such application, in 
the form and manner prescribed by regulations issued by the 
corporation.
    ``(b) For purposes of this section, a multiemployer plan is an 
eligible multiemployer plan if--
            ``(1) the plan is in critical status and is projected to 
        become insolvent within the meaning of section 4245--
                    ``(A) during the current plan year or any of the 14 
                succeeding plan years; or
                    ``(B) during the current plan year or any of the 19 
                succeeding plan years, if the plan has a ratio of 
                inactive participants to active participants that 
                exceeds 2 to 1 and the funded percentage of the plan is 
                less than 80 percent;
            ``(2) the corporation determines, after consultation with 
        the Participant and Plan Sponsor Advocate selected under 
        section 4004, that the plan sponsor has taken (or is taking 
        concurrently with an application for partition) all reasonable 
        measures described in section 432(e)(3)(A) of the Internal 
        Revenue Code of 1986, and has made (or is making) benefit 
        adjustments under section 432(e)(8) of such Code to reduce the 
        risk of insolvency;
            ``(3) 20 percent or more of the amount by which the 
        liabilities of the plan exceed the value of plan assets is 
        attributable to the service of participants whose employers--
                    ``(A) withdrew from the plan prior to the date of 
                enactment of the Keep Our Pension Promises Act; and
                    ``(B) failed to pay (or are delinquent with respect 
                to paying) the full amount of the employer's withdrawal 
                liability under section 4201(b)(1) or as otherwise 
                determined under an agreement with the plan;
            ``(4) the corporation reasonably expects that--
                    ``(A) a partition of the plan will reduce the 
                corporation's expected long-term loss with respect to 
                the plan; and
                    ``(B) a partition of the plan is necessary for the 
                plan to remain or become solvent; and
            ``(5) the corporation certifies to Congress that after 
        partition the corporation will continue to have the ability to 
        meet existing financial assistance obligations to other plans 
        (including any liabilities associated with multiemployer plans 
        that are insolvent or that are projected to become insolvent 
        within 10 years).
    ``(c)(1) A partition under this section shall consist of a transfer 
to the plan created by the partition order of benefits to which 
eligible participants and beneficiaries were entitled under the plan 
that was partitioned, in an amount not to exceed the amount that would 
be guaranteed under section 4022A if the plan were insolvent as of the 
date of the partition order.
    ``(2) The corporation's partition order shall provide for an annual 
transfer by the corporation to the plan created by the partition order 
of an amount equal to the yearly benefits that would be guaranteed 
under section 4022A to the eligible participants and beneficiaries if 
the plan were insolvent as of the date of the partition order.
    ``(3)(A) Where practicable, the initial transfer in accordance with 
paragraph (2) shall be completed at least 60 days prior to the plan 
year that immediately follows the partition start date. The partition 
order shall require that the initial transfer be sufficient to satisfy 
the guaranteed benefits in the first plan year of the partitioned plan.
    ``(B) Subsequent transfers in accordance with paragraph (2) shall 
be completed at least 60 days prior to the first day of each succeeding 
plan year.
    ``(d)(1)(A) The plan created by the partition order is a successor 
plan to which section 4022A applies.
    ``(B) At the discretion of the plan sponsor, the plan created by 
the partition order may remain a part of the plan that was partitioned 
or be maintained as a separate plan.
    ``(2)(A) The plan sponsor and the administrator of an eligible 
multiemployer plan prior to the partition shall be the plan sponsor and 
the administrator, respectively, of the plan created by the partition 
order, and shall adopt reasonable procedures to reduce administrative 
expenses and to coordinate benefit payments and communications with the 
participants and beneficiaries in the plan created by the partition 
order.
    ``(B) Benefit payments equal to the amount of an eligible 
participant or beneficiary's guaranteed benefits shall be paid to such 
participant or beneficiary and may be--
            ``(i) paid separately by the plan created by the partition 
        order; or
            ``(ii) paid in a single, monthly payment by the plan that 
        was partitioned.
    ``(3) In the event an employer withdraws from the plan that was 
partitioned, withdrawal liability shall be computed under section 4201 
with respect to both the plan that was partitioned and the plan created 
by the partition order.
    ``(e) In addition to the payment of guaranteed benefits under 
subsection (d)(2)(B), each eligible participant or beneficiary of the 
plan created by the partition order shall receive a monthly benefit for 
each month the benefit is in pay status in an amount that--
            ``(1) the corporation, in consultation with the Participant 
        and Plan Sponsor Advocate, determines to be fair to the plan, 
        the participant or beneficiary, the employers, and the 
        corporation; and
            ``(2) is at least equal to the lesser of--
                    ``(A) the monthly nonforfeitable benefit for such 
                participant or beneficiary payable under the plan that 
                was partitioned; or
                    ``(B) 80 percent of the maximum benefit commencing 
                at age 65 guaranteed under section 4022(a) for 
                participants and beneficiaries in terminated single 
                employer plans, unreduced for early retirement.
Such monthly benefit may be combined with the monthly payment under 
subsection (d)(2)(B)(ii).
    ``(f)(1) The corporation shall establish a legacy fund for the 
purposes of funding the administrative and benefit costs to the 
corporation arising from partitions under this section, as described in 
paragraph (2).
    ``(2) Any administrative and benefit costs to the corporation 
arising from a partition ordered under this section in excess of 
amounts available in such legacy fund shall be paid from the fund for 
basic benefits guaranteed for multiemployer plans.
    ``(g) Only one partition order shall be issued with respect to each 
eligible multiemployer plan.
    ``(h) For purposes of this subsection, the term `eligible 
participant or beneficiary' means a participant or beneficiary of an 
eligible multiemployer plan that is partitioned in accordance with a 
petition order under this section, and who is an employee or 
beneficiary of an employee of an employer that is described in 
subsection (b)(3).
    ``(i) Not later than 14 days after the issuance of a partition 
order under this section, the corporation shall provide notice of such 
order to the Committee on Finance of the Senate, the Committee on 
Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions of the Senate, the Committee on 
Education and the Workforce of the House of Representatives, the 
Committee on Ways and Means of the House of Representatives, and to all 
eligible participants or beneficiaries whose guaranteed benefits will 
be paid directly or indirectly by the plan created by the partition 
order.''.

apply with respect to plan years beginning after the date of enactment 
of this Act.

amended by subsection (a)) amounts equal to the increase in revenues to 
the Treasury by reason of the amendments made by sections 6 and 7 of 
this Act.
    (d) Transfers Between Funds of the PBGC.--Section 4005 of the 
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (29 U.S.C. 1305) is
