</b></p>
<p>(a) <i>Procedures for making a request for access to records.</i> An individual’s requests for access to records that pertain to that individual (or to the individual for whom the requester serves as guardian) may be submitted to the CFPB in writing or by electronic means.

<p>(1) A statement that the request is made pursuant to the Privacy Act;

 CFPB review of a request for amendment of records.

</p>
<p>(b) <i>Contents of response to a request for amendment.</i> When the CFPB responds to a request for amendment, the CFPB will inform the requester in writing whether the request is granted or denied, in whole or in part.

</p>
<p>(b) <i>Content of Appeal.</i> A requester may submit an appeal in writing or by electronic means as set forth in &#167; 1070.53(a). The appeal shall be addressed to the General Counsel and labeled "Privacy Act Appeal." The appeal must also:
</p>
<p>(1) Specify the background of the request; and
</p>
<p>(2) Provide reasons why the requester believes the denial is in error.
