# §4062.1. Purpose and scope.


The purpose of this part is to set forth rules for determination and payment of the liability incurred, under [section 4062(b)](/cfr/29/4062.md?p=b) of ERISA, upon termination of any single-employer plan and, to the extent appropriate, determination of the liability incurred with respect to multiple employer plans under sections [4063](/cfr/29/4063.md) and [4064](/cfr/29/4064.md) of ERISA. This part also sets forth rules for determining the amount of liability incurred under [section 4063](/cfr/29/4063.md) of ERISA pursuant to the occurrence of a cessation of operations as described by [section 4062(e)](/cfr/29/4062.md?p=e) of ERISA. The provisions of this part regarding the amount of liability to the PBGC that is incurred upon termination of a single-employer plan apply with respect to a plan for which a notice of intent to terminate under [section 4041(c)](/cfr/29/4041.md?p=c) of ERISA is issued or proceedings to terminate under [section 4042](/cfr/29/4042.md) of ERISA are instituted after December 17, 1987. Those provisions also apply, to the extent described in paragraph (a) of this section, to the amount of liability for withdrawal from a multiple employer plan after that date.
