Sec. 4000.28  What if I send a computer disk?

    (a) In general. We determine your filing or issuance date for a 
computer disk as if you had sent a paper version of your submission or 
issuances if you meet the requirements of paragraph (b) of this section.
    (1) Filings. For computer-disk filings, we may treat your submission 
as invalid if you fail to meet the requirements of paragraph (b)(1) or 
(b)(3) of this section.
    (2) Issuances. For computer-disk issuances, we may treat your 
issuance as invalid if--
    (i) You fail to meet the requirements (``using measures reasonably 
calculated to ensure actual receipt'') of Sec. 4000.13(a), or
    (ii) You fail to meet the contact information requirements of 
paragraph (b)(3) of this section.
    (b) Requirements. To get the filing date under paragraph (a) of this 
section, you must meet the requirements of paragraphs (b)(1) and (b)(3). 
To get the issuance date under paragraph (a), you must meet the 
requirements of paragraphs (b)(2) and (b)(3).
    (1) Technical requirements for filings. For filings, your electronic 
disk must comply with any technical requirements for that type of 
submission (our Web site, http://www.pbgc.gov, identifies the technical 
requirements for each type of filing).
    (2) Technical requirements for issuances. For issuances, you must 
comply with the safe-harbor method under Sec. 4000.14.
    (3) Identify contact person. For filings and issuances, you must
