Multiemployer plans routinely provide all sorts of information to contributing employers upon request. I don't see why this would be any different, especially given that the employer trustees administering those plans are going to be asking for the same information. I think it's fair to expect the plan to report on the employee premium requirements for the lowest cost plan that meets minimum value. It's probably wishful thinking to expect the multiemployer plan to do the filing itself on behalf of each contributing employer.

I work with several multiemployer plans that have paid employer trustees. It usually requires amending the trust to allow it. Generally, the trustee must be appointed by one or more of the contributing employers, and the appointment is subject to periodic review and reappointment. Once money is involved, you'll find trustees. (Retired employer Trustees make great paid trustees.)
