However, since a court may allow PBGC additional time to act as provided in FOIA, processing of the disclosure request or appeal will continue and PBGC will so advise the requester.","path":["Title 29—Labor","Subtitle B—Regulations Relating to Labor","CHAPTER XL—PENSION BENEFIT GUARANTY CORPORATION","SUBCHAPTER L—INTERNAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE RULES AND PROCEDURES","PART 4901—DISCLOSURE AND PUBLIC INSPECTION OF PENSION BENEFIT GUARANTY CORPORATION RECORDS","Subpart B—Procedure for Formal Requests"],"source_url":"https://www.ecfr.gov/api/versioner/v1/full/2026-08-25/title-29.xml","current_through":"2026-08-25","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-08-27T02:25:20Z","sha256":"77351501cb97215ca04c046902f41b1ef452b11cb38fa63a2625826a2cc56e24","source_id":"us-cfr","stale":true,"prev":"us/29-cfr-4901.17","next":"us/29-cfr-4901.21"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
