EX-5.2 4 jul1604_ex0502.txt EXHIBIT 5.2 [LETTERHEAD OF MILLIMAN USA, INC.] July 13, 2004 Ms. Amy Wren Benefits Manager Commonwealth Telephone Enterprises 100 CTE Drive Dallas, PA 18612-9774 Subject: Restatement of Commonwealth Builder 401(k) Plan to reflect Merger of 401(k) Plans Dear Amy: As we discussed, we will be restating the merged 401(k) plans using Milliman's defined contribution volume submitter plan. This volume submitter plan has received a favorable advisory letter from the IRS on October 13, 2000. Attached is a copy of the advisory letter. Plan sponsors may rely on the volume submitter's advisory letter to the extent that there were no changes to the plan language other than choosing among various available choices. Since there was special language added with respect to employees subject to collective bargaining, the restated plan will be submitted to the IRS within the remedial amendment period (i.e., on or before March 15, 2005) for a favorable determination letter. Submission within the remedial amendment period permits changes to be made if requested by the IRS without jeopardizing the plan's qualified status. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
