       CHAPTER VI--CHEMICAL SAFETY AND HAZARD INVESTIGATION BOARD

 

PART 1602_PROTECTION OF PRIVACY AND ACCESS TO INDIVIDUAL RECORDS UNDER 

THE PRIVACY ACT OF 1974--Table of Contents

 

Sec.  1602.5  Appeals from denials of requests for access to records.



    (a) Appeals. If you are dissatisfied with the CSB's response to your 

request for access to records, you may appeal an adverse determination 

denying your request in any respect to the Privacy Act Appeals Officer 

of the CSB, 2175 K Street, NW., Suite 400, Washington, DC 20037. You 

must make your appeal in writing, and it must be received within 60 days 

of the date of the letter denying your request. Your appeal letter may 

include as much or as little related information as you wish, as long as 

it clearly identifies the determination (including the assigned request 

number, if any) that you are appealing. For the quickest possible 

handling, you should mark both your appeal letter and the envelope 

``Privacy Act Appeal.''

    (b) Responses to appeals. The decision on your appeal will be made 

in writing. A decision affirming an adverse determination in whole or in 

part will include a brief statement of the reason(s) for the affirmance, 

including any Privacy Act exemption applied, and will inform you of the 

Privacy Act provisions for court review of the decision. If the adverse 

determination is reversed or modified on appeal in whole or in part, you 

will be notified in a written decision and your request will be 

reprocessed in accordance with that appeal decision.

    (c) When appeal is required. If you wish to seek review by a court 

of any adverse determination or denial of a request, you must first 

appeal it under this section.
