    (a) Any individual may request amendment of a record pertaining to 

himself or herself according to the procedure in paragraph (b) of this 

section, except in the case of records described under paragraph (d) of 

this section.

    (b) After inspection by an individual of a record pertaining to 

himself or herself, the individual may file a written request, presented 

in person or by mail, with the Administrative Officer, for an amendment 

to a record. The request must specify the particular portions of the 

record to be amended, the desired amendments and the reasons therefor.

    (c) Not later than ten (10) days (excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and 

legal holidays) after the receipt of a request made in accordance with 

this section to amend a record in whole or in part, the Administrative 

Officer will:

    (1) Make any correction of any portion of the record which the 

individual believes is not accurate, relevant, timely or complete and 

thereafter inform the individual of such correction; or

    (2) Inform the individual, by certified mail return receipt 

requested, of the refusal to amend the record, setting forth the reasons 

therefor, and notify the individual of the right to appeal that 

determination as provided under Sec. 503.8 of this part.

    (d) The provisions for amending records do not apply to evidence 

presented in the course of Commission proceedings in the adjudication of 

claims, nor do they permit collateral attack upon what has already been 

subject to final agency action in the adjudication of claims in programs 

previously completed by the Commission pursuant to statutory time 

limitations.
