Sec. 1410.3  Individual access requests.

    (a) Individuals who desire to know whether the agency maintains a 
system of records containing records pertaining to him may submit a 
written request to the Director of Administration, Federal Mediation and 
Conciliation Service, Washington, DC 20427. The request must include the 
name and address of the requestor. The Director of Administration, or 
his designated representative, will advise the requestor in writing 
within 10 working days whether the records are so maintained and the 
general category of records maintained within the system.
    (b) Any individual who desires to inspect or receive copies of any 
record maintained within the system concerning him shall submit a 
written request to the Director of Administration, Federal Mediation and 
Conciliation Service, Washington, DC 20427, reasonably identifying the 
records sought to be inspected or copied.
    (c) The individual seeking access to his record may also have 
another person accompanying him during his review of the records. If the 
requestor desires another person to accompany him during the inspection, 
the requestor must sign a statement, to be furnished to the Service 
representative at the time of the inspection authorizing such other 
person to accompany him. Except as required under the Freedom of 
Information Act, permitted as a routine use as published in the agency's 
annual notice, or for internal agency use, disclosure of records will 
only be made to the individual to whom the record pertains, unless 
written consent is obtained from that individual. The Director of 
Administration will verify the signature of the individual requesting or 
consenting to the disclosure of a record prior to the disclosure thereof 
to any other person by a comparison of signatures, if the request or 
consent is not executed within the presence of a designated Service 
representative.
    (d) The Director of Administration or his designated representative 
will advise the requestor in writing within 10 working days of receipt 
of the request whether, to what extent, and approximately when and where 
access shall be granted. Within 30 days of receipt of the request, the 
records will be made available for review at the FMCS National Office in 
Washington, DC, or one of the Regional Offices. The following
