                          PRIVACY ACT NOTICE 
                                             
The Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, 5 U.S.C. § 552a requires PBGC to give you this notice when 
collecting information from you.  PBGC uses the information we collect to determine whether you are 
entitled to a benefit payment from a retirement plan that has terminated, and if so, to calculate the 
amount  due  to  you,  and  to  make  appropriate  benefit  payments.    The  information  collected  here, 
including  your  name,  Social  Security  Number,  date  of  birth,  and/or  other  necessary  personally 
identifiable information (PII), is used by PBGC to identify your records within PBGC, to report income 
for tax purposes, and to respond to lawful requests for information about you from other individuals and 
entities. Your response is voluntary.  However, failure to provide information to PBGC, including your 
name, Social Security Number, date of birth, and/or other necessary PII, may delay or prevent PBGC 
from calculating and paying your benefits.  
 
PBGC  may  release  information  about  you  to  other  individuals  and  entities  when  necessary  and 
appropriate under 5 U.S.C. § 552a(b) of the Privacy Act, including: to third parties to make benefit 
payments to you; to a company that was responsible for your plan or to entities related to that company; 
to  a  labor  organization  that  represents  you;  to  obtain  information  from  the  Federal  Aviation 
Administration relevant to a pilot or former pilot's eligibility for a disability benefit; to obtain your address 
from other sources when PBGC does not have a current or valid address for you; to comply with Federal 
laws requiring disclosure of the information contained in our records; to facilitate statistical research, 
audit or investigative matters; to appropriate agencies for the collection of debt; and, to a limited extent 
to your spouse, former spouse, child, or other dependent when such individual may be entitled to 
benefits from PBGC.    
 
PBGC  may  also  release  information  about  you  to  appropriate  federal,  state,  local  or  tribal  law 
enforcement agencies when PBGC becomes aware of a possible violation of civil or criminal law.  If 
PBGC, an employee of PBGC, the United States, or another agency of the United States, is involved 
in litigation, PBGC may provide relevant information about you to a court or other adjudicative body or 
to the Department of Justice when it represents PBGC.  PBGC may also provide information about you 
to the Office of Management and Budget in connection with review of private relief legislation or to a 
Congressional  office  in  response  to  an  inquiry  that  office  makes  about  you  at  your  request.  This 
information may also be disclosed for any of the PBGC general routine uses as published in the Federal 
Register.    
 
PBGC publishes notices in the Federal Register that describe in more detail when information about 
you may be made available to others.  A copy of the most recent Federal Register notice may be 
obtained online at PBGC.gov/privacy or by calling PBGC's Customer Contact Center, 1-800-400-7242.  
If  you  are  deaf,  hard  of  hearing,  or  have  a  speech  disability,  please  dial  7-1-1  to  access 
telecommunications relay services.  PBGC's authority to collect information from you, including your 
Social Security Number, is derived from 29 U.S.C. §§ 1055, 1056(d)(3), 1302, 1321, 1322, 1322a, 1341 
and 1350.

                    PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT NOTICE 
                                                            
The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. § 3501, et seq., requires PBGC to give you this notice 
when collecting information from you.  PBGC uses the information we collect, including name, Social 
Security Number, date of birth, and/or other specific personally identifiable information (PII) necessary, 
to determine whether you are entitled to a benefit payment from a retirement plan that has terminated, 
and if so, to calculate the amount due to you, and to make appropriate benefit payments. Your response 
is voluntary.  However, failure to provide information to PBGC, including your name, Social Security 
Number, date of birth, and/or other necessary PII, may delay or prevent PBGC from determining if you 
are entitled to a benefit payment, calculating the amount due, and paying the benefit due to you, if so 
entitled. Certain information provided to PBGC may be disclosable under the Freedom of Information 
Act, as amended, 5 U.S.C. § 552, and the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, 5 U.S.C. § 552a. 
 
PBGC estimates that the average burden of complying with the information collection request is  21 
minutes  (which  includes  60  minutes  for  benefit  application  forms;  30  minutes  forms  701,  700RN, 
700RSC, 704, and 715; and 6 minutes for the remaining forms), and an average of $3.50 where notary 
services are required to complete a form or application.  These are estimates; the actual time and cost 
will vary depending on the circumstances and type of form or application being made.  If you have any 
comments  concerning  the  accuracy  of  this  estimate  or  suggestions  for  improving  this  information 
collection, please send your comments to Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, Office of the General 
Counsel, Regulatory Affairs Division, 445 12  Street, SW Washington,thDC 20024-2101.  This collection 
of  information  has  been approved  by  the  Office  of  Management  and  Budget (OMB)  under  control 
number 1212-0055 (expires 08/31/2024).  Under the Paperwork Reduction Act, an agency may not 
conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it 
displays a currently valid OMB control number. 

                                                                                                      OBA Ver: 08/09/2022

Participant Name:   FX.PrismCust.FullName.XF                                            Power of Attorney PBGC Form 715, Page   of4 8 
Plan Number:  FX.PrismCase.CaseIdNmbr.XF         
                                                                                                                                     
   On this form, you may name one or more agent(s) in item 2.  If you name co-agents, you must choose 
   whether they must act together or each may act independently in item 3.       
      
   This form does not impose a duty upon your agent to handle your PBGC pension affairs, so it is important that 
   you select an agent who will agree to do this for you. It is also important to select an agent whom you trust, 
   since you are giving that agent control over your PBGC pension. Any agent who does act for you has a duty 
   to act in good faith for your benefit and to use due care, competence, and diligence. He or she must also act 
   in accordance with the directions in this form.  
      
   You may revoke this Power of Attorney if you wish by notifying the agent(s) and PBGC in writing. Until you 
   revoke this Power of Attorney in writing or complete a new PBGC Form 715 to replace it, it will remain in 
   effect, allowing your agent(s) to exercise the powers given to him or her throughout your lifetime.  In addition, 
   a court can take away the powers of your agent if it finds that the agent is not acting properly. 
      
   Depending on your choice in item 5, your agent may continue to act if you become incapacitated (Durable 
   Power of Attorney), OR your agent will no longer be able to act if you become incapacitated (Non-Durable 
   Power of Attorney).  
      
   This Power of Attorney will not take effect without your signature.  You should not sign it if you do not 
   understand everything in it including what your agent will be able to do after you sign it.

Plan Number:  FX.PrismCase.CaseIdNmbr.XF         
                                                                                                                                     
                                                                   POWER OF ATTORNEY FORM  
                                                                   FILING INSTRUCTIONS 
 
   1.  Who may use this PBGC Power of Attorney form? 

Per item 1, you may use this form if you are:  
   •  A participant;  
   •  A beneficiary of a deceased participant; 
   •  An alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order (“QDRO”) who is entitled to all or part of a 
      participant’s benefit; or  
   •  A person appealing a PBGC determination.  
 
   2.  Do I have to use this form? 

No, you do not have to use the PBGC Power of Attorney (POA).  However, if you do not use this form, your non-
PBGC POA must meet the requirements of your state, or the state where you sign the POA, if different.  Some 
states have model POAs called a “statutory form” that meet that state’s POA requirements.  Such forms can be 
found on states’ websites.   
 
If you submit a non-PBGC POA, it should clearly identify the types of actions you want to allow your agent(s) to 
take and identify whether the POA is a Durable Power of Attorney (DPOA) or Non-Durable Power of Attorney 
(NDPOA).   
 
   3.  What is the difference between a Durable and Non-Durable Power of Attorney? 

A Durable Power of Attorney is a document that authorizes a person to act as your agent to perform specified 
acts on your behalf, and the person still has authority to act on your behalf in the event of your mental incapacity.  
By contrast, the authority you give with a Non-Durable Power of Attorney to another person ceases in the event of 
your mental incapacity, after which your agent may no longer act on your behalf.  You make that choice in item 5 
of this PBGC Power of Attorney form.  

Note: In the event you become mentally incapacitated without having designated an agent under a Durable 
Power of Attorney form, a person seeking to act for you with respect to your PBGC pension will have to seek 
appointment from a court as Guardian or Conservator with authority over your “Property” or “Estate.” 
 
   4.  How do I file this Power of Attorney form?  

After the form is completed with all signatures, file the Power of Attorney by mailing the original form to PBGC, 
P.O. Box 151750, Alexandria, VA  22315-1750.  You should keep a copy for your records.  
 
   5.  What if I am a participant in more than one PBGC pension plan? 

This form gives authority for all PBGC plans in which you have or may have a benefit, including plans which 
come to PBGC after you sign this form.  If you know you participate in more than one PBGC plan, you may list 
their names and case numbers on page 1 of the form or in a cover letter, but it is not required.  
 
   6.  What if I already have a PBGC Power of Attorney on file with PBGC? 

Filing a new PBGC Power of Attorney Form with PBGC replaces a PBGC Power of Attorney Form on file with 
PBGC.

Plan Number:  FX.PrismCase.CaseIdNmbr.XF         
                                                                                                                                           
   7.  What if I already have a non-PBGC Power of Attorney on file with PBGC? 

Filing a new PBGC Power of Attorney                                does not automatically replace a non-PBGC Power(s) of Attorney on file 
with PBGC.  Once you have granted a non-PBGC Power of Attorney, it will remain in effect unless you revoke it 
in writing. If you granted a non-PBGC Power of Attorney for a particular matter to more than one person, any of 
those persons may exercise his or her authority under the Power of Attorney on that matter. 
 
   8.  How do I limit my agent’s powers? 

In item 4, you should only mark those actions that you authorize your agent to perform on your behalf               . 
 
   9.  Does my agent(s) need to sign the Power of Attorney Form?   

Yes.  Your agent(s) must sign and date item 10 of the form for it to be effective.  Your agent does not need to sign 
the form in your presence.  PBGC will reject a Power of Attorney form if it has not been signed by both you and 
your agent(s) or if your signature is not witnessed (item 8) and notarized (item 9) by two different people.  
 
   10. How do I make changes to this PBGC Power of Attorney after I sign it? 

If you want to make changes such as adding or deleting an authority, or adding or removing a named agent, or 
changing the duration (durable or non-durable) you must complete and file a replacement form. The new form will 
replace your prior PBGC Power of Attorney.  You should also notify any agent directly if you are revoking their 
authority.  

Note:  Remember - A PBGC Power of Attorney does not automatically change or revoke a non-PBGC POA.  
 
   11. How do I cancel my PBGC Power of Attorney if I change my mind about my agent?  

You cancel or revoke a PBGC Power of Attorney by informing PBGC in writing with your signature that you are 
revoking any and all PBGC POAs you granted previously. You may not revoke a POA by telephone.  You should 
also inform the agents in your previous PBGC POA that their authority has been revoked.
