Time to Move Away from the PPA Baseline
Lori Lucas, of Callan, via Defined Contribution Institutional Investment Association [DCIIA]

This terms relates specifically to the non-discrimination testing safe harbor requiring that plans implement auto features with a contribution rate of 3% of pay, and with contributions automatically escalating over time to 6% of pay.
