Text of IRS Announcement 2014-41: Extension of Time for Certain Defined Benefit Plan Determination Letter Requests (PDF)
"This announcement extends to June 30, 2015, the deadline for submitting on-cycle applications for opinion and advisory letters for pre-approved defined benefit plans for the plans' second six-year remedial amendment cycle. This announcement also provides a two day extension (from Saturday, January 31, 2015, to Monday, February 2, 2015) for Cycle D on-cycle submissions (primarily individually designed plans including multiemployer plans).... The IRS expects to modify Rev.

In addition, the IRS is developing tools, which will be available before June 30, 2015, to assist plan sponsors in drafting these plans." (Internal Revenue Service [IRS])
