Perhaps this inquiry is premature but due to the partial shutdown of the government (at least that is what I assume is causing this) the IRS hasn't yet updated its usual sites with the September 2013 30-year TSR rate and the September 2013 Minimum Present Value Segment Rates under IRC 417(e)(3)(D). Given the provisions in our plan (look back and stability periods), we could wait a while for the Minimum PV Segment rates but the September 30-year TSR is used for actuarial reduction in one of our plans for any benefit commencing November 1. We can "get to" the monthly 30-year TSR by adding up the daily rates and dividing by the number of days for which it was published...this producing a 3.79% rate...but, of course, that isn't "official". Are there other authoritative sources for this info? I checked and didn't see any IRS Notice covering the info for this period. Any other thoughts...other than hope for an earlier versus later end to the partial government shutdown? This is the URL of the site from whence we usually get the 30-year TSR http://www.irs.gov/Retirement-Plans/Weighted-Average-Interest-Rate-Table and this is the URL of the site from whence we usually get the Minimum Present Value Segment Rates http://www.irs.gov/Retirement-Plans/Minimum-Present-Value-Segment-Rates Thanks for any and all thoughts on this evolving dilemma.
