Sec. 401.100  Disclosure of records with the consent of the subject 
of the record.


    (a) Except as permitted by the Privacy Act and the regulations in 
this chapter, or if required by the FOIA, we will not disclose your 
record without your written consent. The consent must specify the 
individual, organizational unit or class of individuals or 
organizational units to whom the record may be disclosed, which record 
may be disclosed and, where applicable, during which time frame the 
record may be disclosed (e.g., during the school year, while the subject 
individual is out of the country, whenever the subject individual is 
receiving specific services). We will not honor a blanket consent to 
disclose all your records to unspecified individuals or organizational 
units. We will verify your identity and, where applicable (e.g., where 
you consent to disclosure of a record to a specific individual), the 
identity of the individual to whom the record is to be disclosed.
    (b) A parent or guardian of a minor is not authorized to give 
consent to a disclosure of the minor's medical record. See Sec. 
401.55(c) for the procedures for disclosures of or access to the medical 
records of minors.
