A FOIA request should include a description of the requested records, an 

assurance that the requester is willing to pay the fees, if any, associated with 

processing the request, and the complete address of the requester. In addition, it 

is helpful to provide a phone number where the requester can be reached during

business hours so that any questions regarding the scope of the request can be

resolved quickly. If the requester is unsure of how to describe the records, they

desire or have specific questions relating to processing of a request, they should 

call the FOIA staff for advice at (202) 229-4040 prior to filing their request.

2. Brief description of why some requests are not granted and an overview of 

certain general categories of the agency’s records to which the FOIA 

exemptions applies

Records subject to disclosure and application of FOIA exemptions include, in 

part; records submitted to PBGC and created by PBGC in connection with 

processing distress plan terminations, or standard termination filing, 

comments on proposed regulations and documents outlining PBGC policies 

and procedures, as well as documents underlying PBGC policies and 

procedures.

Some requests are not granted because one or more of the exemptions from 

FOIA’s disclosure requirement applies to the records requested. The primary

exemptions used by PBGC are (b) (3), (4), (5), (6) and (7)(c).

PBGC denies access to records which have been submitted to the agency under

Title 29 USC 4010 and 29 USC 4043 pursuant to exemption (b)(3).

In addition, companies often submit confidential financial and/or 

commercial information to PBGC in the course of doing business. This 

information is withheld under exemption (b)(4).

In some instances, PBGC did not possess any of the records that were 

requested.

Exemption (b) (5) in part, allows for the protection of records that reflect the

deliberative process within the agency. It can be used to protect portions of

records that contain pre-decisional opinions, recommendations, and advice

when the disclosure of that information may have a chilling effect on the

decision-making process. Exemption (b) (5) also protects attorney work 

product and attorney client communications.

In the vast majority of cases, denial of access to records involves requests 

by third parties for personal information about individuals contained in the

individual’s Privacy Act record or other record, where the subject 

individual has not authorized release of their personal information, a

Privacy Act routine use does not apply, or the FOIA does not require the

PBGC to otherwise release the personal information. These records or

information are withheld under exemption (b)(6).

3. FOIA Regulations (including Fee Schedule)

PBGC FOIA regulations are available online at:

III. ACRONYMS, DEFINITIONS, AND EXEMPTIONS

1. Agency-specific acronyms or other terms: 

None

2. Definitions of terms used in this report:

a. Administrative Appeal – a request to a federal agency asking that it

review at a higher administrative level a FOIA determination made by the

agency at the initial request level.

b. Average Number – the number obtained by dividing the sum of a group of

numbers by the quantity of numbers in the group. For example, of 3, 7, and 

14, the average number is 8.

c. Backlog – the number of requests or administrative appeals that are

pending at an agency at the end of the fiscal year that are beyond the

statutory time period for a response. 

d. Component – for agencies that process requests on a decentralized basis, a

“component” is an entity, also sometimes referred to as an Office, Division, 

Bureau, Center, or Directorate, within the agency that processes FOIA

requests. The FOIA now requires that agencies include in their Annual 

FOIA Report data for both the agency overall and for each principal

component of the agency. 

NOTE: PBGC is centralized and therefore does not have multiple

components.

e. Consultation – the procedure whereby the agency responding to a FOIA 

request first forwards a record to another agency for its review because that 

agency has an interest in the record. Once the agency in receipt of the

consultation finishes its review of the record, it responds back to the agency

that forwarded it. That agency, in turn, will then respond to the FOIA 

requester.

f. Exemption 3 Statute – a federal statute that exempts information from 

disclosure and which the agency relies on to withhold information under

subsection (b)(3) of the FOIA.

g. FOIA/PA Request – a FOIA request is generally a request to a federal 

agency for access to records concerning another person (i.e., a “third-party” 

request), or concerning an organization, or a particular topic of interest. 

FOIA requests also include requests made by requesters seeking records 

concerning themselves (i.e., "first-party" requests) when those requesters 

are not subject to the Privacy Act, such as non-U.S. citizens. Moreover, 
Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation- FY 2022 Annual Report

5

because all first-party requesters should be afforded the benefit of both the 

access provisions of the FOIA as well as those of the Privacy Act, FOIA 

requests also include any first-party requests where an agency determines 

that it must search beyond its Privacy Act “systems of records” or where a 

Privacy Act exemption applies, and the agency looks to FOIA to afford the 

greatest possible access. All requests which require the agency to utilize the 

FOIA in responding to the requester are included in this Report. 

Additionally, a FOIA request includes records referred to the agency for 

processing and direct response to the requester. It does not, however, 

include records for which the agency has received a consultation from 

another agency. (Consultations are reported separately in Section XII of this 

Report.)

NOTE: PBGC processed all requests for access to records, regardless of

which law was cited by the requester, under both the FOIA and PA, as 

appropriate.

h. Full Grant – an agency decision to disclose all records in full in response to 

a FOIA request. 

i. Full Denial – an agency decision not to release any records in response to a

FOIA request because the records are exempt in their entireties under one or

more of the FOIA exemptions, or for some procedural reason, such as when 

no records could be located.

j. Median Number – the middle, not average, number. For example, of 3, 7, 

and 14, the median number is 7.

k. Multi-track Processing – a system in which simple requests requiring

relatively minimal review are placed in one processing track and more

voluminous and complex requests are placed in one or more other tracks. 

Requests granted expedited processing are placed in yet another track. 

Requests in each track are processed on a first-in/first out basis. 

i. Expedited Processing – an agency will process a FOIA request on

an expedited basis when a requester satisfies the requirements for

expedited processing as set forth in the statute and in agency

regulations.

ii. Simple Request – a FOIA request that an agency using multi-track 

processing places in its fastest (non- expedited) track based on the

low volume and/or simplicity of the records requested.

iii. Complex Request – a FOIA request that an agency using multitrack processing places in a slower track based on the high volume

and/or complexity of the records requested.

l. Partial Grant/Partial Denial – in response to a FOIA request, an agency

decision to disclose portions or the records and to withhold other portions 
Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation- FY 2022 Annual Report

6

that are exempt under the FOIA, or to otherwise deny a portion of the

request for a procedural reason.

m. Pending Request or Pending Administrative Appeal – a request or

administrative appeal for which an agency has not taken final action in all 

respects.

n. Perfected Request – a request for records which reasonably describes 

such records and is made in accordance with published rules stating the

time, place, fees (if any), and procedures to be followed.

o. Processed Request or Processed Administrative Appeal – a request or

administrative appeal for which an agency has taken final action in all 

respects.

p. Range in Number of Days – the lowest and highest number of days to 

process requests or administrative appeals.

q. Time Limits – the time period in the statute for an agency to respond to a

FOIA request (ordinarily twenty working days from receipt of a perfected 

FOIA request).

3. Concise description of the nine FOIA exemptions:

An agency may withhold information from disclosure if the 

information requested is the kind described in any of the nine 

exemptions listed in the FOIA.

1. Exemption 1: classified national defense and foreign relations 

information.

2. Exemption 2: information that is related solely to the internal personnel 

rules and practices of an agency.

3. Exemption 3: information that is prohibited from disclosure by another

federal law.

4. Exemption 4: trade secrets and other confidential business information.

5. Exemption 5: inter-agency or intra-agency communications that are

protected by legal privileges.

6. Exemption 6: information which, if released, would constitute a clearly

unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.

7. Exemption 7: records or information compiled for law enforcement 

purposes, to the extent that the production of those records (A) could 
Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation- FY 2022 Annual Report

7

reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings, (B)

would deprive a person of a right to a fair trial or an impartial

adjudication, (C) could reasonably be expected to constitute an 

unwarranted invasion of personal privacy, (D) could reasonably be

expected to disclose the identity of a confidential source, (E) would 

disclose techniques and procedures for law enforcement investigations or

prosecutions, or would disclose guidelines for law enforcement 

investigations or prosecutions, or (F) could reasonably be expected to 

endanger the life or physical safety of any individual.

8. Exemption 8: Information relating to the supervision of financial 

institutions.

9. Exemption 9: Geological information on wells.
