Form 15662, Application for Private Letter Rulings, is the cover application for a private letter ruling request. The instructions on page 3 say to attach Form 15662 to the ruling request and file it with the IRS address for EP Letter Rulings in Covington, KY.

Line 4 lists the ruling types it covers, such as changes in funding methods or actuarial assumptions, amortization extensions, the return of certain nondeductible contributions to an employer, a waiver of the 60-day rollover requirement and a change in plan or trust year.
