PAS processes premium filings and payments and calculates interest and penalties when premiums collected by PBGC are paid late or underpaid.

(The business operations include maintaining a bank Lockbox to receive premium forms and payments and depositing the payments to PBGC's accounts, imaging documents and processing data from forms through Optical Character Recognition into PAS, posting the filings and payment through PAS, and corresponding with the plans.) A singleaward is anticipated under each RFP. The duration of each contract will be one base period plus four option years.
