The Internal Revenue Service has released a document that could help retirement plan administrators keep up with regulatory changes.

The document, Notice 2007-94, provides the 2007 list of changes in plan qualification requirements for 401(k) plans and other retirement plans that qualify for special tax treatment.

The 2007 cumulative list applies mainly to “individually designed plans that are in Cycle C,” officials write in the preamble to the list.

“An individually designed plan is in Cycle C if it is a single-employer plan where the last digit of the employer identification number of the plan sponsor is 3 or 8, or it is a ?414(d) governmental plan (including a governmental multiemployer plan or governmental multiple employer plan),” officials write.

The IRS will start accepting determination letter applications for Cycle C plans beginning Feb. 1, 2008.

The 12-month submission period for Cycle C plans will end Jan. 31, 2009.

Plans that terminate must include all law changes in effect at the time of termination, and some changes in the Pension Protection Act of 2006 may be retroactive, officials write.

But, in most cases, officials write, the IRS will not consider in its review of any determination letter application, for the submission period that begins Feb. 1, 2008, any guidance published after Oct. 1, 2007; any statutes enacted after Oct. 1, 2007; any qualification requirements first effective in 2009 or later; or any statutory provisions that are first effective in 2008, for which there is no guidance identified in Notice 2007-94.
