Sec. 261a.8  Request for amendment of record.

    (a) Procedures for making request. (1) An individual desiring to 
amend a record in a designated system of records that pertains to him or 
her shall submit a request in writing to the Secretary of the Board (or 
to the Inspector General for records in a system of records maintained 
by the OIG) in an envelope clearly marked ``Privacy Act Amendment 
Request.''
    (2) Each request for amendment of a record shall:
    (i) Identify the system of records containing the record for which 
amendment is requested;
    (ii) Specify the portion of that record requested to be amended; and
    (iii) Describe the nature of and reasons for each requested 
amendment.
    (3) Each request for amendment of a record shall be subject to 
verification of identity under the procedures set forth in Sec. 
261a.5(c) of this part, unless such verification has already been made 
in a related request for access or amendment.
    (b) Burden of proof. The request for amendment of a record shall set 
forth the reasons the individual believes the record is not accurate, 
relevant, timely, or complete. The burden of proof for demonstrating the 
appropriateness of the requested amendment rests with the requester, and 
the requester shall provide relevant and convincing evidence in support 
of the request.
