                      Subpart A--General Provisions
 
Sec. 4003.4  Extension of time.

    (a) General rule. When a document is required under this part to be 
filed within a prescribed period of time, an extension of time to file 
will be granted only upon good cause shown and only when the request for 
an extension is made before the expiration of the time prescribed. The 
request for an extension shall be in writing and state why additional 
time is needed and the amount of additional time requested. The filing 
of a request for an extension shall stop the running of the prescribed 
period of time. When a request for an extension is granted, the PBGC 
shall notify the person requesting the extension, in writing, of the 
amount of additional time granted. When a request for an extension is 
denied, the PBGC shall so notify the requestor in writing, and the 
prescribed period of time shall resume running from the date of denial.
    (b) Disaster relief. When the President of the United States 
declares that, under the Disaster Relief Act of 1974, as amended (42 
U.S.C. 5121, 5122(2), 5141(b)), a major disaster exists, the Executive 
Director of the PBGC (or his or her designee) may, by issuing one or 
more notices of disaster relief, extend the due date for filing a 
request for reconsideration under Sec. 4003.32 or an appeal under 
Sec. 4003.52 by up to 180 days.
    (1) The due date extension or extensions shall be available only to 
an aggrieved person who is residing in, or whose principal place of 
business is within, a designated disaster area, or with respect to whom 
the office of the service provider, bank, insurance company, or other 
person maintaining the information necessary to file the request for 
reconsideration or appeal is within a designated disaster area; and
    (2) The request for reconsideration or appeal shall identify the 
filing as one for which the due date extension is available.
