                    Subpart D_Privacy Act Provisions
 
Sec. 171.30  Purpose and scope.


    This subpart contains the rules that the Department follows under 
the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a. These rules should be read 
together with the Privacy Act, which provides additional information 
about records maintained on individuals. The rules in this subpart apply 
to all records in systems of records maintained by the Department that 
are retrieved by an individual's name or personal identifier. They 
describe the procedures by which individuals may request access to 
records about themselves, request amendment or correction of those 
records, and request an accounting of disclosures of those records by 
the Department. If any records retrieved pursuant to an access request 
under the Privacy Act are found to be exempt from disclosure under that 
Act, they will be processed for possible disclosure under the Freedom of 
Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552. No fees shall be charged for 
access to or amendment of Privacy Act records.
