They do not cover an issuance from you to anyone other than the PBGC, such as a notice to participants. Also, they do not cover filings with us that are not made under our regulations, such as procurement filings, litigation filings, and applications for employment with us.

Subpart D tells you how to compute various periods of time. Subpart E tells you how to maintain required records in electronic form.)
