Sec. 4000.23  When is my submission or issuance treated as filed or issued?

    (a) Filed or issued when sent. Generally, we treat your submission 
as filed, or your issuance as provided, on the date you send it, if you 
meet certain requirements. The requirements depend upon the method you 
use to send your submission or issuance (see Sec. Sec. 4000.24 through 
4000.29). (Certain filings are always treated as filed when received, as 
explained in paragraph (b)(2) of this section.)
    (b) Filed or issued when received.--(1) In general. If you do not 
meet the requirements for your submission or issuance to be treated as 
filed or issued when sent (see Sec. Sec. 4000.24 through 4000.32), we 
treat it as filed or issued on the date received in a permitted format 
at the proper address.
    (2) Certain filings always treated as filed when received. We treat 
the following submissions as filed on the date we receive your 
submission, no matter what method you use:
    (i) Applications for benefits. An application for benefits or 
related submission (unless the instructions for the applicable forms 
provide for an earlier date);
    (ii) Advance notice of reportable events. Information required under 
subpart C of part 4043 of this chapter, dealing with advance notice of 
reportable events;

    (iv) Requests for approval of multiemployer plan amendments. A 
request for approval of an amendment filed with the PBGC pursuant to 
part 4220 of this chapter.
    (3) Determining our receipt date for your filing. If we receive your 
submission at the correct address by 5 p.m. (our time) on a business 
day, we treat it as received on that date. If we receive your submission 
at the correct address after 5 p.m. on a business day, or anytime on a 
weekend or Federal holiday, we treat it as received on the next business 
day. For example, if you send your fax or e-mail of a Form 200 filing to 
us in Washington, DC, on Friday, March 15, from California at 3 p.m. 
(Pacific standard time), and we receive it immediately at 6 p.m. (our 
time), we treat it as received on Monday, March 18.
