(k)plans during a year Section 408(p) is amended by adding at the end the following new paragraph: Subject to the requirements of this paragraph, an employer may elect (in such form and manner as the Secretary may prescribe) at any time during a year to terminate the qualified salary reduction arrangement under paragraph (2), but only if the employer establishes and maintains (as of the day after the termination date) a safe harbor plan to replace the terminated arrangement. The terminated arrangement and safe harbor plan shall both be treated as violating the requirements of paragraph (2)(A)(ii) or section 401(a)(30) (whichever is applicable) if the aggregate elective contributions of the employee under the terminated arrangement during its last plan year and under the safe harbor plan during its transition year exceed the sum of— the applicable dollar amount for such arrangement (determined on a full-year basis) with respect to the employee for such last plan year multiplied by a fraction equal to the number of days in such plan year divided by 365, and the applicable dollar amount (as so determined) for such safe harbor plan on such elective contributions during the transition year multiplied by a fraction equal to the number of days in such transition year divided by 365. The applicable dollar amount is the amount determined under paragraph (2)(A)(ii) (after the application of section 414(v)) or section 402(g)(1), whichever is applicable. For purposes of this paragraph, the transition year is the period beginning after the termination date and ending on the last day of the calendar year during which the termination occurs. For purposes of this paragraph, the term safe harbor plan means a qualified cash or deferred arrangement which meets the requirements of paragraph (11), (12), or
(13)of section 401(k). . The amendments made by this section shall apply to plan years beginning after December 31, 2013.
