        (A)--
                ``(i) In general.--The term `qualified severance' means 
            the division of a single trust and the creation (by any

    unused GST exemption as produces the lowest possible inclusion 
    ratio. In determining whether there has been substantial 
    compliance, all relevant circumstances shall be taken into account, 
    including evidence of intent contained in the trust instrument or 
    instrument of transfer and such other factors as the Secretary 
    deems relevant.''.

``SEC. 4980F. FAILURE OF APPLICABLE PLANS REDUCING BENEFIT ACCRUALS TO 
              SATISFY NOTICE REQUIREMENTS.

    ``(a) Imposition of Tax.--There is hereby imposed a tax on the 
failure of any applicable pension plan to meet the requirements of 
subsection (e) with respect to any applicable individual.
    ``(b) Amount of Tax.--
        ``(1) In general.--The amount of the tax imposed by subsection

    term `noncompliance period' means, with respect to any failure, the

    failure is otherwise corrected.
    ``(c) Limitations on Amount of Tax.--
        ``(1) Tax not to apply where failure not discovered and 
    reasonable diligence exercised.--No tax shall be imposed by 
    subsection (a) on any failure during any period for which it is 
    established to the satisfaction of the Secretary that any person 
    subject to liability for the tax under subsection (d) did not know 
    that the failure existed and exercised reasonable diligence to meet 
    the requirements of subsection (e).
        ``(2) Tax not to apply to failures corrected within 30 days.--
    No tax shall be imposed by subsection (a) on any failure if--

        subsection (e) during the 30-day period beginning on the first 
        date such person knew, or exercising reasonable diligence would 
        have known, that such failure existed.
        ``(3) Overall limitation for unintentional failures.--
            ``(A) In general.--If the person subject to liability for 
        tax under subsection (d) exercised reasonable diligence to meet 
        the requirements of subsection (e), the tax imposed by 
        subsection (a) for failures during the taxable year of the 
        employer (or, in the case of a multiemployer plan, the taxable 
        year of the trust forming part of the plan) shall not exceed 
        $500,000. For purposes of the preceding sentence, all 
        multiemployer plans of which the same trust forms a part shall 
        be treated as 1 plan.
            ``(B) Taxable years in the case of certain controlled 
        groups.--For purposes of this paragraph, if all persons who are 
        treated as a single employer for purposes of this section do

        account shall be determined under principles similar to the 
        principles of section 1561.

    inequitable relative to the failure involved.

    participant and shall provide sufficient information (as determined 
    in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary) to 
    allow applicable individuals to understand the effect of the plan 
    amendment. The Secretary may provide a simplified form of notice 
    for, or exempt from any notice requirement, a plan--

    provided to a person designated, in writing, by the person to which 
    it would otherwise be provided.
        ``(5) Notice before adoption of amendment.--A plan shall not be 
    treated as failing to meet the requirements of paragraph (1) merely

section--
        ``(1) Applicable individual.--The term `applicable individual'
