        <Explanation>whether information about contributing employers, including monthly contributions paid to a multiemployer defined benefit health and welfare plan, are required to be reported in applicable sections of Schedule R. The plan has 63 contributing employers and much of the information required to complete Schedule R is currently not available at the administrative office. The plan would incur significant administrative costs to accumulate this additional information and the prudency of using plan assets to compile this questionable information has not been determined. Therefore, pending clear direction from the Internal Revenue Service, information on contributing employers has not been reported on Schedule R (Form 990).</Explanation>
