§ 1410.3 Procedures for access of an individual to his or her own records in a record system.

An individual shall submit a request to the Administrative Assistant of the Committee, Suite 205, 1730 K Street NW., Washington, DC 20006, in person or in writing, to determine if a system of records named by the individual contains a record pertaining to the individual, or if the Committee maintains any systems of records which pertain to the individual. The individual shall submit a request to the Administrative Assistant of the Committee which states the individual's desire to review his or her record. Individuals who require assistance in identifying systems of record, or in preparing requests identifying systems of record for access, or who need assistance in requesting amendments, may address such requests to the Administrative Assistant of the Committee, Suite 205, 1730 K Street NW., Washington, DC 20006.

§ 1410.4 Times, places and requirements for the identification of the individual making a request.

An individual making a request to the Administrative Assistant of the Committee pursuant to § 1410.3 shall present the request at the Committee offices, Suite 205, 1730 K Street NW.,

Washington, DC 20006, on any business day between the hours of 8:15 a.m. and 4:45 p.m., or in writing. The individual submitting the request should present himself or herself at the Committee's offices with a form of identification which will permit the Committee to verify that the individual is the same individual as contained in the record requested, such as a valid driver's permit, employee identification card, or Medicare card, or a signed statement from the individual asserting his or her identity and stipulating that he or she understands that knowingly or willfully seeking or obtaining access to records about another individual under false pretenses is punishable by a fine of up to $5,000. If the individual seeks access by mail, the Committee will require similar identification as required of those persons requesting access to records in person, or by identifying data such as name, date of birth, or system personal identifier (if known to the individual). Requests for access to systems of record will be acknowledged within ten days of receipt. The acknowledgement will indicate whether or not access can be granted and, if so, that it will be within a 30-day period unless, for good cause shown, the Committee is unable to do so.

§ 1410.5

Grant to an individual of access to his or her own records. Upon verification of identity either in person or in written form to the Administrative Assistant of the Committee, Suite 205, 1730 K Street NW., Washington, DC 20006, and in accordance with the identification provisions of § 1410.4, the Committee shall grant access to the individual the information contained in the record which pertains to that individual. The individual may be accompanied for the purpose by a person of his or her choosing. Upon request of the individual to whom the record pertains, all information in the accounting of disclosures will be made available. If, for any unforeseen circumstances, or in an unusual situation when it may be necessary to deny a person access, the individual will be advised of the reasons therefor, and his or her right to judicial review under 5 U.S.C. 552a(f)(4).

§ 1410.6 Access to the accounting of disclosures from records.

The Privacy Act requires that with some limited exceptions individuals may request access to a list of those to whom records about them have been disclosed. Individuals seeking access to the accounting of disclosures from records pertaining to them should follow the same procedures as established above for access to the records themselves (see §§ 1410.3, 1410.4, 1410.5).

§ 1410.7 Request for correction or amendment to the record.

The individual should submit a request to the Administrative Assistant of the Committee which states the individual's desire to correct or to amend his or her record. This request is to be made in accord with the provisions of § 1410.4.

§ 1410.8 Agency review of request for correction or amendment of the record. Within ten working days of the receipt of the request to correct or to amend the record, the Administrative Assistant of the Committee will acknowledge in writing such receipt and promptly either

(a) Make any correction or amendment or any portion thereof which the individual believes is not accurate, relevant, timely, or complete; or

(b) Inform the individual of his or her refusal to correct or to amend the record in accordance with the request, the reason for the refusal, and the procedures established by the Committee for the individual to request a review of that refusal. Corrections or amendments will be sent to prior recipients of the record in question, to the extent that the Committee has an accounting of the disclosure of the record of that information.
