As an alternative to seeking a separate private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service pursuant to 5:30-14.56, a sponsoring agency may adopt a contractor's prototypical length of service award plan which has already received a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service. The private letter ruling shall be based upon the contractor's prototypical length of service award plan adopted by a New Jersey sponsoring agency. The resolution of a sponsoring agency shall certify that the sponsoring agency is adopting a plan identical to one on which a satisfactory Internal Revenue Service private letter ruling has been obtained. The certification shall also indicate the use of the ruling is for guidance only and the realization that for Internal Revenue Service purposes, the ruling of another sponsoring agency is not to be considered precedent.
