PART 9904--COST ACCOUNTING STANDARDS


9904.412  [Corrected]

    2. In section 9904.412-50, the first sentence of paragraph (d)(2) 
introductory text is corrected to read as follows.


9904.412-50  Techniques for application.

* * * * *
    (d) * * *
    (2) For nonqualified defined-benefit pension plans that meet the 
criteria set forth at 9904.412-50(c)(3), pension costs assigned to a 
cost accounting period are fully allocable if they are funded at a 
level at least equal to the percentage of the complement (i.e., 100% 
minus tax rate % = percentage of assigned cost to be funded) of the 
highest published Federal corporate income tax rate in effect on the 
first day of the cost accounting period. * * *
* * * * *


9904.413  [Corrected]

    3. In section 9904.413-60, correct the last sentence of paragraph 
(c)(7), the fourth sentence of paragraph (c)(8), the fifth sentence of 
paragraph (c)(12), the last sentence of paragraph (c)(13) and the 
second sentence of paragraph (c)(24) are corrected to read as follows:


9904.413-60  Illustrations.

* * * * *
    (c) * * *
    (7) * * * In accordance with 9904.413-50(c)(2)(iii), the amount of 
pension cost must be based on an acceptable termination of employment 
assumption for that segment; however, as provided in 9904.413-
50(c)(10), all other assumptions for that segment may be the same as 
those for the remaining segments.
    (8) * * * Although some employees are hired by the successor 
contractor, because Contractor K no longer operates the facility, it 
meets the 9904.413-30(a)(20)(iii) definition of a segment closing. * * 
*
* * * * *
    (12) * * * In determining the segment closing adjustment under 
9904.413-50(c)(12) the actuarial accrued liability and the market value 
of assets are reduced by the amounts transferred to the buyer by the 
sale. * * *
    (13) * * * However, because all pension assets and liabilities have 
been transferred to other segments or to successors in interest of the 
contracts of Segment A, an immediate period adjustment is not required 
pursuant to 9904.413-50(c)(12)(v).
* * * * *
    (24) * * * As permitted by 9904.413-50(c)(1)(ii), the contractor 
first applies $12,000 of the contribution amount to Segment A, which is 
performing work under Government contracts, for purposes of 9904.412-
50(d)(1). * * *
