    (a) General. Subject to the provisions governing medical records in 
Sec. 401.55 and the provisions governing exempt systems in Sec.

and grant notification or access to a record, if you are the subject of 
the record.

of records in other locations, etc., we will so inform you and tell you 
when notification or access will be granted.
