Any proposal to adopt arrangements to provide flexible NRDs
other than as described in the earlier paragraphs of this Section
should be considered critically. A variable NRD geared to the
completion of a particular length of service, for example, is not
acceptable because it could, depending upon the length of service
required and the benefit accrual rate, give a full 2/3rds benefit
before age 50. Submit any such proposal to the Section Manager.
