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
PENSION BENEFIT GUARANTY CORPORATION – FY 2016 FOIA ANNUAL REPORT
3
to processing of a request, they should call the FOIA staff for advice at (202) 326-
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 agencys 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 be 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 involve 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 Requesta 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, because all first-party requesters should be
afforded the benefit of both the access provisions of the FOIA as well as those of
PENSION BENEFIT GUARANTY CORPORATION – FY 2016 FOIA ANNUAL REPORT
5
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 Requesta 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 Requesta FOIA request that an agency using multi-track
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 that
are exempt under the FOIA, or to otherwise deny a portion of the request for a
procedural reason.
PENSION BENEFIT GUARANTY CORPORATION – FY 2016 FOIA ANNUAL REPORT
6
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 Requesta 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

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,

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.
