of Contents

 

                    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.
