PBGC is committed to open government through transparency, public participation, and integrity. This page provides access to PBGC data sets and supporting resources. These materials complement additional federal data and help the public understand key topics, participate in government processes, and collaborate with PBGC.
Open government efforts support oversight, improve the quality of agency data, and expand the availability and usability of information.
OMB Memorandum M 16 21, Achieving Efficiency, Transparency, and Innovation through Reusable and Open-Source Software, requires federal agencies to complete an alternatives analysis before acquiring commercial or custom-developed software. PBGC’s process for reviewing and selecting IT solutions is defined in the PBGC Alternatives Analysis Standard and Methodology.
PBGC data governance
PBGC integrates data governance across its operations to support open government. This work is guided by principles of transparency, shared responsibility, and collaboration.
To strengthen PBGC’s management of data as a strategic asset, the agency established the Data Governance Board under OMB Memorandum M 19 23.
