The Open Data Plan for the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation outlines its commitment to transparency, participation, and collaboration in data management. The plan focuses on fulfilling data responsibilities by making high-value datasets publicly accessible, strengthening evidence-based policymaking, and improving data literacy. Key areas include enhancing the IT Dashboard, ensuring transparency in spending, and supporting records management and whistleblower protection, all while actively engaging with customers and stakeholders to ensure data privacy and regulatory compliance.

This strategic plan for the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) serves as a roadmap to enhance its mission and operations for fiscal years 2018-2022. It outlines the vision, values, and long-term goals to achieve a sustainable pension insurance program that supports voluntary private plans providing lifetime retirement income. The plan is built upon three core strategic goals: to preserve plans and protect the pensions of covered workers and retirees, to pay benefits on time and accurately, and to maintain high standards of stewardship and accountability. It also addresses challenges such as the decline in single-employer plans and the financial risks to the multiemployer program.

This Privacy Strategic Plan outlines the direction for the PBGC Privacy Office to be a leader in protecting privacy and promoting transparency for all stakeholders. The plan is structured around four main goals: improving compliance with privacy laws, fostering an agency-wide culture of privacy championship, developing and maintaining top privacy professionals, and integrating privacy-enhancing technologies with a robust metrics program. It aims to embed privacy protections and ensure personal information is handled with care throughout all PBGC activities, aligning privacy with the agency's core mission goals.
