Sec. 16.47  Requests for an accounting of record disclosures.



    (a) How made and addressed. Except where accountings of disclosures 

are not required to be kept (as stated in paragraph (b) of this 

section), you may make a request for an accounting of any disclosure 

that has been made by



[[Page 290]]



the Department to another person, organization, or agency of any record 

about you. This accounting contains the date, nature, and purpose of 

each disclosure, as well as the name and address of the person, 

organization, or agency to which the disclosure was made. Your request 

for an accounting should identify each particular record in question and 

should be made by writing directly to the Department component that 

maintains the record, following the procedures in Sec. 16.41.

    (b) Where accountings are not required. Components are not required 

to provide accountings to you where they relate to:

    (1) Disclosures for which accountings are not required to be kept--

in other words, disclosures that are made to employees within the agency 

and disclosures that are made under the FOIA;

    (2) Disclosures made to law enforcement agencies for authorized law 

enforcement activities in response to written requests from those law 

enforcement agencies specifying the law enforcement activities for which 

the disclosures are sought; or

    (3) Disclosures made from law enforcement systems of records that 

have been exempted from accounting requirements.

    (c) Appeals. You may appeal a denial of a request for an accounting 

to the Office of Information and Privacy in the same manner as a denial 

of a request for access to records (see Sec. 16.45) and the same 

procedures will be followed.
