Subpart C prescribes rules on who may request reconsideration, when to make such a request, where to submit it, form and content of reconsideration requests, and other matters relating to reconsiderations. Any person aggrieved by an initial determination of PBGC under Sec. 4003.1(b)(1) (determinations that a plan is covered by section 4021 of ERISA), Sec. 4003.1(b)(2) (determinations concerning premiums, interest, and late payment penalties under section 4007 of ERISA), Sec. 4003.1(b)(3) (determinations concerning voluntary terminations), Sec. 4003.1(b)(4) (determinations concerning allocation of assets under section 4044 of ERISA), or Sec. 4003.1(b)(5) (determinations with respect to penalties under section 4071 of ERISA) may request reconsideration of the initial determination.
