(a) Procedures for making request.
(1) If you wish to amend a record that
pertains to you in a system of records, you may submit the request
in writing to the Secretary of the Board (or to the Inspector General
for records in a system of records maintained by the OIG) in an envelope
clearly marked “Privacy Act Amendment Request.”
(2) Your request for amendment of a record
must—
(i) identify the system of records containing
the record for which amendment is requested;
(ii) specify the portion of that record
requested to be amended; and
(iii) describe the nature of and reasons
for each requested amendment.
(3) We will require you to verify your
identity under the procedures set forth in section 261a.5(c) of this
part, unless you have already done so in a related request for access
or amendment.
(b) Burden of proof. Your request for amendment of a record must
tell us why you believe the record is not accurate, relevant, timely,
or complete. You have the burden of proof for demonstrating the appropriateness
of the requested amendment, and you must provide relevant and convincing
evidence in support of your request.
