Sec. 1205.32  Decision on appeal.

    (a) The Chairman will decide the appeal within 30 workdays unless 
the Chairman determines that there is good cause for extension of that 
deadline. If an appeal is improperly labeled, does not contain the 
necessary information, or is submitted to an inappropriate official, the 
time period for processing that appeal will begin when the Chairman 
receives the appeal and the necessary information.
    (b) If the request for amendment of a record is granted on appeal, 
the Chairman will direct that the amendment be made. A copy of the 
amended record will be provided to the requester.
    (c) If the request for amendment of a record is denied, the Chairman 
will notify the requester of the denial and will inform the requester 
of:
    (1) The basis for the denial;
    (2) The right to judicial review of the decision under 5 U.S.C. 
552a(g)(1)(A); and
    (3) The right to file a concise statement with the Board stating the 
reasons why the requester disagrees with the denial. This statement will 
become a part of the requester's record.
