 102 STAT. 3766

PUBLIC LAW 100-647—NOV. 10, 1988 preceding June 30, as computed in accordance with paragraph (5), by the difference between— "(i) the percentage rate determined under subparagraph (B), (C), or (D) of paragraph (1) before the reduction to the maximum contribution limit; and "(ii) the maximum contribution limit. "(B) STEP 2.—Add the amounts arrived at under step 1 so as to obtain an aggregate amount for all such employers. "(C) STEP 3.—For each employer whose contribution rate as computed through step 3 under paragraph (I)(C) was less than 0, the percentage rate by which such employer's rate was raised in order to bring that rate to 0 shall be multiplied by that employer's 1-year compensation base as of the preceding June 30. Subtract the toted of the amounts computed under the preceding sentence for all employers from the amount arrived at in step 2. "(D) STEP 4.—Divide the aggregate amount arrived at under step 3 by the system compensation base as of the preceding June 30 as computed under paragraph (11) minus the one-year compensation base of those employers whose rates computed through step 6 of paragraph (I)(C) exceeded the maximum contribution rate computed under paragraph (20). The result is the pooled charge ratio for the calendar year. "(14) SURCHARGE RATE.—The surcharge rate for a calendar year, if any, shall be determined as follows: "(A) STEP i.—(Dompute the balance to the credit of the account as of the close of business on the preceding June 30, including any amounts in the account attributable to loans made under section 10(d) before October 1, 1985, but disregarding the obligation to repay such loans and interest thereon. In determining such balance as of June 30 of any year, so much of the balance to the credit of the railroad unemployment insurance administration fund as of the close of business on such date as is in excess of $6,000,000 shall be deemed to be part of the balance to the credit of such account. There will be a surcharge rate for the calendar year only if that balance is less than the greater of $100,000,000 or of the amount that bears the same ratio to $100,000,000 as the system compensation base as of that June 30 bears to the system compensation base as of June 30, 1991, as computed in accordance with paragraph (11). "(B) STEP 2.—(i) If the balance to the credit of the account is less than the greater of the amounts referred to in the 2nd sentence of step 1 but is equal to or more than the greater of $50,000,000 or of the amount that bears the same ratio to $50,000,000 as the system compensation base as of that June 30 bears to the system compensation base as of June 30, 1991, then the surcharge rate for the calendar year shall be 1.5 percent. "(ii) If the balance to the credit of the account is less than the greater of the amounts referred to in the clause (i), but greater than or equal to zero, then the surcharge rate for the calendar year shall be 2.5 percent.
