Sec.  201.28  Requests for correction or amendment of records.

    (a) If, upon viewing his or her records, an individual disagrees 
with a portion thereof or feels sections thereof to be erroneous, the 
individual may request amendment[s] of the records pertaining to him or 
her. The individual should request such an amendment in writing and 
should identify each particular record in question, the system[s] of 
records wherein the records are located, specify the amendment 
requested, and specify the reasons why the records are not correct, 
relevant timely or complete. The individual may submit any documentation 
that would be helpful. The request for amendment of records shall be 
addressed to the Privacy Act Officer, United States International Trade 
Commission, 500 E Street SW., Washington, DC 20436, and shall clearly 
indicate both on the envelope and in the letter that it is a Privacy Act 
request for amendment of records.

Privacy Act request for amendment of records, the Privacy Act Officer 
shall acknowledge such receipt in writing. Such a request for amendment 
will be granted or denied by the Privacy Act Officer or, for records 
maintained by the Inspector General. If the request is granted, the 
Privacy Act Officer, or the Inspector General for records maintained by 
the Inspector General, shall promptly make any correction of any portion 
of the record which the individual believes is not accurate, relevant, 
timely, or complete. If, however, the request is denied, the Privacy Act 
Officer shall inform the individual of the refusal to amend the record 
in accordance with the individual's request and give the reason(s) for 
the refusal. In cases where the Privacy Act Officer or the Inspector 
General has refused to amend in accordance with an individual's request, 
he or she also shall advise the individual of the procedures under Sec.  
201.30 of this part for the individual to request a review of that 
refusal by the full Commission or by an officer designated by the 
Commission.
