[Subpart B](/cfr/29/subpartB.md) prescribes the contents of and procedures for filing a Notice of Termination for a multiemployer plan. [Subpart C](/cfr/29/subpartC.md) prescribes basic duties of plan sponsors of mass-withdrawal-terminated plans. (Other duties are prescribed in [part 4281](/cfr/29/part4281.md) of this chapter.)

This part applies to terminated multiemployer plans covered by title IV of ERISA but, in the case of subparts [C](/cfr/29/subpartC.md) and [D](/cfr/29/subpartD.md), only to plans terminated by mass withdrawal under [section 4041A(a)(2)](/cfr/29/4041A.md?p=a-2) of ERISA (including plans created by partition pursuant to [section 4233](/cfr/29/4233.md) of ERISA).
