Short Statement: In the final rule published on August 15, 2025, PBGC made changes to the forms and instructions related to the Missing Participants Program.

For calendar years 2026-2028, PBGC determined that there will be a decrease in the expected number of total Missing Participants Program filings from 345 to 340. The decrease in the expected number of filings results in a decrease in the estimated total annual hour burden from 70 to 68 hours and a decrease in the estimated total annual cost burden from $497,835 to $490,620.
