    (b) The Executive Director or his designee will, within ten working 
days after its receipt, acknowledge a request for amendment or 
correction of a record. A decision will be reached promptly and 
notification thereof provided to the individual seeking to amend or 
correct a record. The Executive Director may request such additional 
information or documentation as he may deem necessary to arrive at a 
decision upon the request. If the request is granted, the record as 
amended will be called to the attention of all prior recipients of the 
individual's record.
    (c) If the request is denied, the individual will be informed of the 
reasons therefor and his right to appeal the denial in writing to the 
Chairman of the Commission. The Chairman will render a decision on an 
appeal within thirty working days following the date on which the appeal 
is received. The individual will be notified promptly of the Chairman's 
decision and, if the appeal is denied, the reasons therefor and the 
individual's right to seek judicial review and his right to file a 
concise statement of disagreement, which statement will be noted in the 
records to which it pertains and supplied to all prior and subsequent 
recipients of the disputed record. If an appeal is granted, the record 
as amended will be called to the attention of all prior recipients of 
the individual's record.
    (d) Requests for amendment or correction of a record must be 
accompanied by a signed notarized statement verifying the identity of 
the requesting party.
