SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation
(PBGC or the Corporation) administers the pension plan termination
insurance program under title IV of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). Section 4002(h) of ERISA provides for the
establishment of an Advisory Committee to the Corporation. The Advisory
Committee consists of seven members appointed by the President from
among individuals recommended by the PBGC Board of Directors, which
consists of the Secretaries of Labor, Treasury, and Commerce. The
Advisory Committee members are as follows:
<bullet> two representatives of employee organizations;
<bullet> two representatives of employers who maintain pension
plans; and
<bullet> three representatives of the general public.
No more than four members of the Committee shall be members of the
same political party. Anyone currently subject to federal registration
requirements as a lobbyist is not eligible for appointment.
Advisory Committee members must have experience with employee
organizations, employers who maintain defined benefit pension plans,
the administration or advising of pension plans, or in related fields.
Appointments are for 3-year terms. Reappointments are possible but are
subject to the appointment process.
The Advisory Committee's prescribed duties include advising the
Corporation as to its policies and procedures relating to investment of
moneys, and other issues as the Corporation may request or as the
Advisory Committee determines appropriate. The Advisory Committee meets
at least six times each year. At least one meeting is a joint meeting
with the PBGC Board of Directors.
By February 19, 2025, the terms of three of the Advisory Committee
members, two representing employers who maintain pension plans and one
representing the general public, will have expired. Therefore, PBGC is
seeking nominations for three seats.
PBGC is committed to equal opportunity in the workplace and seeks a
broad-based and diverse Advisory Committee.
If you or your organization wants to nominate one or more people
for appointment to the Advisory Committee to represent employers who
maintain pension plans or the general public, you may submit
nominations to PBGC. Nominations may be in the form of a letter,
resolution or petition, signed by the person making the nomination.
PBGC encourages you to include additional supporting letters of
nomination. PBGC will not consider self-nominees who have no supporting
letters. Please do not include any information that you do not want
publicly disclosed.
Nominations, including supporting letters, should:
<bullet> state the person's qualifications to serve on the Advisory
Committee (including any specialized knowledge or experience relevant
to the nominee's proposed Advisory Committee position to represent
employers who maintain pension plans or the general public);
<bullet> state that the candidate will accept appointment to the
Advisory Committee if offered;
<bullet> include the nominee's full name, work affiliation, mailing
address, phone number, and email address;
<bullet> include the nominator's full name, mailing address, phone
number, and email address; and
<bullet> include the nominator's signature, whether sent by email
or otherwise.
PBGC will contact nominees for information on their political
affiliation and their status as registered lobbyists. Nominees should
be aware of the time commitment for attending meetings and actively
participating in the work of the Advisory Committee. Historically, this
has meant a commitment of at least 15 days per year. PBGC has a process
for vetting nominees under consideration for appointment.
Issued in Washington, DC.
Ann Y. Orr,
Acting Director, Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation.
