- - - (6) * - Example 6. - - (iv) * - - With respect to the single-sum distribution, the annual amount of the actuarially equivalent straight life annuity commencing at the same age determined using the plan’s actuarial factors is equal to $45,000. * -

I Par. 3. Section 1.415(d)–1 is amended by revising its heading to read as follows:

§ 1.415(d)–1 Cost-of-living adjustments.

(iii) * - - If the underutilized amount under Plans W, X, and Y for year 2006 were in each case zero (because E had always contributed the maximum amount or E was a new participant) or an amount not in excess of $5,000, the maximum exclusion under this section would be $20,000 for Participant E for year 2006 ($15,000 plus the $5,000 age 50 catch-up amount), which Participant E could contribute to any of the plans assuming at least $5,000 is contributed to Plan W.

To be owned or controlled by, or acting or purporting to act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, any person whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to the Order.

Accordingly, the donation of such items is not exempted from the scope of these regulations and is prohibited, unless authorized by OFAC.

Section 1(c) of the Order provides that the blocking of property and interests in property includes, but is not limited to, the making or receiving of any contribution or provision of funds, goods or services by, to, or for the benefit of, any person listed in or designated pursuant to the Order, and the receipt of any contribution or provision of funds, goods, or services from any such person.

Section 2 of the Order prohibits, with certain exceptions, the direct or indirect importation into the United States of any round log or timber product originating in Liberia.

Section 3 of the Order prohibits any transaction by a United States person that evades or avoids, or has the purpose of evading or avoiding, or attempts to violate, any of the prohibitions set forth in the Order, as well as any conspiracy formed to violate such prohibitions.

Section 6 of the Order authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State, to take such actions, including the promulgation of rules and regulations, as may be necessary to carry out the purposes of the Order. Acting under authority delegated by the Secretary of

regulations were last published under section 415.

DATES: This correction is effective May 23, 2007.
