[[Page 321]]

Office of Special Counsel, 1730 M Street, N.W. (Suite 218), Washington, 
DC 20036-4505. Such requests may also be faxed to the Privacy Act 
Officer at the number provided on the FOIA/PA page of OSC's web site 
(see 1830.1). For the quickest handling, both the request letter and 
envelope or any fax cover sheet should be clearly marked ``Privacy Act 
Amendment Request.'' Whether sent by mail or by fax, a Privacy Act 
amendment request will not be considered to have been received by OSC 
until it reaches the Privacy Act Officer. A Privacy Act amendment 
request may also be delivered by person at OSC's headquarters office in 
Washington, DC.
    (b) Description of amendment sought. Requests for amendment should 
include identification of records together with a statement of the basis 
for the requested amendment and all available supporting documents and 
materials. Requesters must describe the amendment sought in enough 
detail for the request to be evaluated.
    (c) Proof of identity. Rules and procedures set forth in 1830.2(c) 
apply to requests made under this section.
    (d) Acknowledgement and response. Requests for amendment shall be 
acknowledged by OSC not later than 10 days (excluding Saturdays, 
Sundays, and legal holidays) after receipt by the Privacy Act Officer 
and a determination on the request shall be made promptly.
