<p><b>Note:</b></p>
<p>In addition, the Finance Board intends to adopt the previously published <i>Federal Register</i> notices of the existence and character of the following governmentwide systems of records established by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), the Office of Government Ethics (OGE), and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC):
</p><p>OPM/GOVT-1 General Personnel Records
</p><p>OPM/GOVT-2 Employee Performance File System Records
</p><p>OPM/GOVT-3 Records of Adverse Actions, Performance-Based Reduction in Grade and Removal Actions, and Termination of Probationers
</p><p>OPM/GOVT-5 Recruiting, Examining, and Placement Records
</p><p>OGE/GOVT-1 Executive Branch Public Financial Disclosure Reports and Other Ethics Program Records
</p><p>OGE/GOVT-2 Confidential Statements of Employment and Financial Interests
</p><p>EEOC/GOVT-1 Equal Employment Opportunity in the Federal Government Complaint and Appeals Records
</p><p>These governmentwide systems of records include records that are in the temporary custody of the Finance Board, but which are owned by the OPM, the EEOC, or the OGE, respectively. Since the OPM, the OGE, and the EEOC have published notices in the <i>Federal Register</i> of the existence and character of these systems of records, it is unnecessarily duplicative for the Finance Board to include a description of these systems of records in its <i>Federal Register</i> notice.</p>
<p>Individuals are referred to the OPM's <i>Federal Register</i> notice of the existence and character of OPM/GOVT-1, OPM/GOVT-2, OPM/GOVT-3, and OPM/GOVT-5. The citation is 57 FR 35705-35716, August 10, 1992, as amended from time to time.</p>
<p>Individuals are referred to the OGE's <i>Federal Register</i> notice of the existence and character of OGE/GOVT-1 and OGE/GOVT-2. The citation is 55 FR 6328-6331, February 22, 1990, as amended from time to time.</p>
<p>Individuals are referred to the EEOC's <i>Federal Register</i> notice on the existence and character of EEOC/GOVT-1. The citation is 59 FR 11068, March 9, 1994, as amended from time to time.</p>

Purpose and scope.
</b></p>
<p>(a) This part 913 contains the rules the Finance Board follows under the Privacy Act. You should read these rules together with the Privacy Act, which provides additional information about records maintained on individuals. The rules apply to all records in systems of records the Finance Board maintains that are retrieved by an individual's name or personal identifier. They describe the procedures by which individuals may request access to records, request amendment or correction of those records, and request an accounting of disclosures of those records by the Finance Board. Whenever it is appropriate to do so, the Finance Board automatically processes a Privacy Act request for access to records under both the Privacy Act and the FOIA, following the rules contained in part 910 of this chapter and this part 913. The Finance Board processes a request under both the Privacy Act and the FOIA so you will receive the maximum amount of information available to you by law.
</p>
<p>(b) This part does not entitle you to any service or to the disclosure of any record to which you are not entitled under the Privacy Act. It also does not, and may not be relied upon to create any substantive or procedural right or benefit enforceable against the Finance Board.
</p>
<p>[68 FR 39812, July 3, 2003, as amended at 71 FR 60812, Oct. 17, 2006]
</p><p><b>&#167; 913.3
How do I make a request under the Privacy Act?
</b></p>
<p>(a) <i>In general.</i> You can make a Privacy Act request on your own behalf or on behalf of another individual as the parent or guardian of a minor or as the guardian of someone determined by a court to be incompetent. To make sure that the Privacy Act Office receives your request without delay, you should include the notation "Privacy Act Request" on the front of your envelope and also at the beginning of your request.
</p>
<p>(b) <i>Requests for access to records.</i> You may make a request for access to a record by appearing in person or by writing directly to the Privacy Act Official. You must describe the record that you want in enough detail to enable the Privacy Act Office to locate the system(s) of records containing it with a reasonable amount of effort. Your request should describe the record sought, the time period in which you believe it was compiled, and the name or identifying number of each system of records in which you believe it is kept.
</p>
<p>(c) <i>Requests for amendment or correction of records.</i> You may make a request for amendment or correction of a Finance Board record by writing to the Privacy Act Official. Your request should identify each particular record in question and the system(s) of records in which the record is located, describe the amendment or correction that you want, and state why you believe that the record is not accurate, relevant, timely or complete. You may submit any documentation that you think would be helpful.
</p>
<p>(d) <i>Requests for an accounting of record disclosures.</i> You may request an accounting of disclosures made by the Finance Board to another person, organization or agency of any record by writing to the Privacy Act Official. Your request for an accounting should identify each particular record in question. An accounting generally includes the date, nature and purpose of each disclosure, as well as the name and address of the person, organization or agency to which the disclosure was made.
</p>
<p>(e) <i>Verification of identity.</i> When making a Privacy Act request, you must verify your identity in accordance with these procedures to protect your privacy or the privacy of the individual on whose behalf you are acting. If you make a Privacy Act request and you do not follow these identity verification procedures, the Finance Board cannot process your request.
</p>
<p>(1) <i>Verifying your own identity</i>. You must state your full name, current address, and date and place of birth. In order to help identify and locate the records you request, you also may, at your option, include your social security number. If you make your request in person and your identity is not known to the Privacy Act Official, you must provide either 2 forms of identification with photographs, or 1 form of identification with a photograph and a properly authenticated birth certificate. If you make your request by mail, your signature either must be notarized or submitted under 28 U.S.C. 1746, a law that permits statements to be made under penalty of perjury as a substitute for notarization. You may fulfill this requirement by having your signature on your request letter witnessed by a notary, or including the following statement just before the signature on your request letter: "I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed on [date]."
</p>
<p>(2) <i>Verification of guardianship.</i> When making a request as the parent or guardian of a minor or as the guardian of someone determined by a court to be incompetent, for access to records about that individual, you must establish:
</p>
<p>(i) The identity of the individual who is the subject of the record, by stating the individual's name, current address and date and place of birth, and, at your option, the social security number of the individual;
</p>
<p>(ii) Your own identity, as required in paragraph (e)(1) of this section;
</p>
<p>(iii) That you are the parent or guardian of the individual, which you may prove by providing a properly authenticated copy of the individual's birth certificate showing your parentage or a properly authenticated court order establishing your guardianship; and
</p>
<p>(iv) That you are acting on behalf of the individual in making the request.
</p>
<p>[68 FR 39812, July 3, 2003, as amended at 71 FR 60812, Oct. 17, 2006]
</p><p><b>&#167; 913.4
How will the Finance Board respond to your Privacy Act request?
</b></p>
<p>(a) <i>When will the Finance Board respond to my request?</i> The Privacy Act Official generally will respond to you in writing within 10 working days of receipt of a request that meets the requirements of &#167; 913.3. The Privacy Act Official may extend the response time in unusual circumstances, such as the need to consult with another agency about a record or to retrieve a record shipped offsite for storage. If you make your request in person, the Privacy Act Official may disclose records to you directly with a written record made of the grant of the request. If you are accompanied by another person, we will require your written authorization before discussing the records in the presence of the other person.
</p>
<p>(b) <i>What will the Finance Board's response include?</i> The written response will include the Privacy Act Official's determination whether to grant or deny your request in whole or in part, a brief explanation of the reasons for the determination, and the amount of the fee charged, if any, under &#167; 913.6. If you requested access to records, the Privacy Act Official will make the records, if any, available to you. If you requested amendment or correction of a record, the response will describe any amendments or corrections made and advise you of your right to obtain a copy of the amended or corrected record, in disclosable form, under this part.
</p>
<p>(c) <i>Adverse determinations</i>--(1) <i>What is an adverse determination?</i> Adverse determinations consist of the following determinations by the Privacy Act Official:
</p>
<p>(i) A determination to withhold any requested record in whole or in part;
</p>
<p>(ii) A determination to deny a request to amend or correct a record in whole or in part;
</p>
<p>(iii) A determination not to provide an accounting of disclosures;
</p>
<p>(iv) A determination that a requested record does not exist or cannot be located;
</p>
<p>(v) A determination that what has been requested is not a record subject to the Privacy Act; or
</p>
<p>(vi) A determination on any disputed fee matter.
</p>
<p>(2) <i>Responses that include an adverse determination.</i> If the Privacy Act Official makes an adverse determination with respect to your request, the written response under this section will state that the Privacy Act Official is the person responsible for the adverse determination, that the adverse determination is not a final agency action, and that you may appeal the adverse determination under &#167; 913.5.

What can I do if I am dissatisfied with the Finance Board's response to my Privacy Act request?
</b></p>
<p>(a) <i>Appeals.</i> You can appeal any adverse determination made by the Privacy Act Official in responding to your Privacy Act request. If you wish to seek review by a court of any adverse determination or denial of a request, you first must appeal it under this section.
</p>
<p>(b) <i>How do I make an appeal?</i> You may make an appeal by submitting a written application giving the reasons why the adverse determination should be overturned within 30 working days of the date of the Privacy Act Official's determination under &#167; 913.4. You should include the notation "Privacy Act Appeal" on the front of your envelope and also at the beginning of your application to make sure that the Privacy Act Office receives your appeal without delay.
</p>
<p>(c) <i>When will the Finance Board respond to my appeal?</i> The Finance Board generally will respond to you in writing within 30 working days of receipt of an appeal that meets the requirements of paragraph (b) of this section. The Finance Board may extend the response time in unusual circumstances, such as the need to consult with another agency about a record or to retrieve a record shipped offsite for storage.
</p>
<p>(d) <i>What will the Finance Board's response include?</i> The written response will include the Finance Board's determination whether to grant or deny your appeal in whole or in part, a brief explanation of the reasons for the determination, and information about the Privacy Act provisions for court review of the determination. If your appeal concerns a request for access to records, the Finance Board will make the records, if any, available to you. If your appeal concerns amendment or correction of a record, the response will describe any amendment or correction made and advise you of your right to obtain a copy of the amended or corrected record, in disclosable form, under this part and your right to file a Statement of Disagreement under paragraph (e) of this section.
</p>
<p>(e) <i>Statements of Disagreement</i> (1) <i>What is a Statement of Disagreement?</i> A Statement of Disagreement is a concise written statement in which you clearly identify each part of any record that you dispute and explain your reason(s) for disagreeing with the Finance Board's denial in whole or in part of your appeal requesting amendment or correction.
</p>
<p>(2) <i>How do I file a Statement of Disagreement?</i> You must deliver your Statement of Disagreement to the Privacy Act Official within 30 working days of the Finance Board's denial in whole or in part of your appeal concerning amendment or correction of a record.
</p>
<p>(3) <i>What will the Finance Board do with my Statement of Disagreement?</i> The Finance Board will place your Statement of Disagreement in the system(s) of records in which the disputed record is maintained. The Finance Board also may append a concise statement of its reason(s) for denying the request to amend or correct the record. The Finance Board will notify all persons, organizations, or agencies to which it previously disclosed the record, if an accounting of that disclosure was made, that the record has been amended or corrected. We will provide a copy of your Statement of Disagreement and its explanation, if any, along with the record whenever the record is disclosed.

Fees.
</b></p>
<p>(a) <i>Your request is an agreement to pay fees.</i> The Finance Board considers your Privacy Act request as your agreement to pay all applicable fees unless you specify a limit on the amount of fees you agree to pay. The Finance Board will not exceed the specified limit without your written agreement.
</p>
<p>(b) <i>How does the Finance Board calculate fees?</i> The Finance Board will charge a fee for duplication of a record under the Privacy Act in the same way it charges for duplication of records under the FOIA (12 CFR 910.9).
