       CHAPTER VI--CHEMICAL SAFETY AND HAZARD INVESTIGATION BOARD
 
PART 1602--PROTECTION OF PRIVACY AND ACCESS TO INDIVIDUAL RECORDS UNDER THE PRIVACY ACT OF 1974--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 1602.6  Requests for amendment or correction of records.

    (a) How made and addressed. You may make a request for amendment or 
correction of a CSB record about yourself by following the procedures in 
Sec. 1602.2. Your request should identify each particular record in 
question, state the amendment or correction that you want, and state why 
you believe that the record is not accurate, relevant, timely, or 
complete. You may submit any documentation that you think would be 
helpful.
    (b) CSB responses. Within ten working days of receiving your request 
for amendment or correction of records, the CSB will send you a written 
acknowledgment of its receipt of your request, and it will promptly 
notify you whether your request is granted or denied. If the CSB grants 
your request in whole or in part, it will describe the amendment or 
correction made and advise you of your right to obtain a copy of the 
corrected or amended record. If the CSB denies your request in whole or 
in part, it will send you a letter stating:
    (1) The reason(s) for the denial; and
    (2) The procedure for appeal of the denial under paragraph (c) of 
this section, including the name and business address of the official 
who will act on your appeal.

    (c) Appeals. You may appeal a denial of a request for amendment or 
correction in the same manner as a denial of a request for access to 
records (see Sec. 1602.5), and the same procedures will be followed. If 
your appeal is denied, you will be advised of your right to file a 
Statement of Disagreement as described in paragraph (d) of this section 
and of your right under the Privacy Act for court review of the 
decision.
    (d) Statements of Disagreement. If your appeal under this section is 
denied in whole or in part, you have the right to file a Statement of 
Disagreement that states your reason(s) for disagreeing with the CSB's 
denial of your request for amendment or correction. Statements of 
Disagreement must be concise, must clearly identify each part of any 
record that is disputed, and should be no longer than one typed page for 
each fact disputed. Your Statement of Disagreement must be sent to the 
CSB, which will place it in the system of records in which the disputed 
record is maintained and will mark the disputed record to indicate that 
a Statement of Disagreement has been filed and where in the system of 
records it may be found.
    (e) Notification of amendment/correction or disagreement. Within 30 
working days of the amendment or correction of a record, the CSB shall 
notify all persons, organizations, or agencies to which it previously 
disclosed the record, if an accounting of that disclosure was made, that 
the record has been amended or corrected. If an individual has filed a 
Statement of Disagreement, the CSB will attach a copy of it to the 
disputed record whenever the record is disclosed and may also attach a 
concise statement of its reason(s) for denying the request to amend or 
correct the record.
