(b) Improvements
The Secretary of the Treasury shall continue to update and improve the Employee Plans Compliance Resolution System (or any successor program), giving special attention to—

(2) taking into account special concerns and circumstances that small employers face with respect to compliance and correction of compliance failures;
(3) extending the duration of the self-correction period under the Self-Correction Program for significant compliance failures;
(4) expanding the availability to correct insignificant compliance failures under the Self-Correction Program during audit; and
(5) assuring that any tax, penalty, or sanction that is imposed by reason of a compliance failure is not excessive and bears a reasonable relationship to the nature, extent, and severity of the failure.
