                      Subpart E_Amending the Record
 
Sec. 806b.23  Approving or denying a record amendment.

    The Air Force does not usually amend a record when the change is 
based on opinion, interpretation, or subjective official judgment. 
Determinations not to amend such records constitutes a denial, and 
requesters may appeal (see Subpart F of this part).
    (a) If the system manager decides not to amend the record, send a 
copy of the request, the record, and the recommended denial reasons to 
the denial authority through the legal office and the Privacy Act 
office. Legal offices will include a written legal opinion. The Privacy 
Act officer reviews the proposed denial and legal opinion and makes a 
recommendation to the denial authority.
    (b) The denial authority sends the requester a letter with the 
decision. If the denial authority approves the request, amend the record 
and notify all previous recipients that it has been changed. If the 
authority denies the request, give the requester the statutory 
authority, reason, and pertinent appeal rights (see subpart F of this 
part).
