8 pages. "This notice provides updated static mortality tables to be used for defined benefit pension plans under Section 430(h)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code and Section 303(h)(3)(A) of [ERISA]. These updated tables, which are being issued using the methodology in the existing final regulations under Section 430(h)(3)(A), apply for purposes of calculating the funding target and other items for valuation dates occurring during calendar year 2016. This notice also includes a modified unisex version of the mortality tables for use in determining minimum present value under Section 417(e)(3) of the Code and Section 205(g)(3) of ERISA for distributions with annuity starting dates that occur during stability periods beginning in the 2016 calendar year....

"After regulations implementing new mortality tables are finalized, as additional data regarding mortality improvement for more recent years becomes available, the Treasury Department and IRS expect to regularly review trends in mortality improvement and will update the projection of mortality improvement as necessary."
