             Subpart C_Determining Filing and Issuance Dates
 
Sec. 4000.29  What if I use electronic delivery?

    (a) In general. Your filing or issuance date is the date you 
electronically transmit your submission or issuance to the proper 
address if you meet the requirements of paragraph (b) of this section. 
Note that we always treat an advance notice of reportable event and a 
Form 200 (notice of certain missed contributions) as filed when 
received.
    (1) Filings. For electronic filings, if you fail to meet the 
requirements of paragraph (b)(1) or (b)(3) of this section, we may treat 
your submission as invalid.
    (2) Issuances. For electronic 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 
requirement of paragraphs (b)(2) and (b)(3).
    (1) Technical requirements for filings. For filings, your electronic 
submission 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 an e-mail submission or issuance 
with an attachment, you must include, in the body of your e-mail, the 
name and telephone number of the person to contact if we or the intended 
recipient needs you to resubmit your filing or issuance.
    (c) Failure to meet address requirement. If you send your electronic 
submission or issuance to the wrong address (but you meet the 
requirements of paragraph (b) of this section), your filing or issuance 
date is the date of receipt at the proper address.
