1401.21. That section provides that (a) You can make a Privacy Act 
request for records about yourself. You also can make a request on 
behalf of another individual as the parent or legal guardian of a 
minor, or as the legal guardian of someone determined by a court to be 
incompetent. (b) To make a request for access to a record, you should 
write directly to our Office of General Counsel. Heightened security 
delays mail delivery. To avoid mail delivery delays, we strongly 
suggest that you email your request to [email protected]. Our mailing 
address is: SSDMD/RDS; ONDCP Office of General Counsel; Joint Base 
Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB); Bldg. 410/Door 123; 250 Murray Lane SW, 
Washington, DC 20509. To make sure that the Office of General Counsel 
receives your request without delay, you should include the notation 
``Privacy Act Request'' in the subject line of your email or on the 
front of your envelope and also at the beginning of your request. (c) 
You must describe the record that you seek in enough detail to enable 
ONDCP to locate the system of records containing the record with a 
reasonable amount of effort. Include specific information about each 
record sought, such as the time period in which you believe it was 
compiled, the name or identifying number of each system of records in 
which you believe it is kept, and the date, title or name, author, 
recipient, or subject matter of the record. As a general rule, the more 
specific you are about the record that you seek, the more likely we 
will be able to locate it in response to your request. (d) 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, 
ONDCP cannot process your request. (1) You must include in your request 
your full name, citizenship status, current address, and date and place 
of birth. We may request additional information to verify your 
identity. To verify your own identity, you must provide an unsworn 
declaration under 28 U.S.C. 1746, a law that permits statements to be 
made under penalty of perjury. To fulfill this requirement, you must 
include the following statement just before the signature on your 
request: ``I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is 
true and correct. Executed on [date].'' (2) If you make a request as 
the parent or legal guardian of a minor, or as the legal guardian of 
someone determined by a court to be incompetent, for access to records 
or information about that individual, you must establish: (i) The 
identity of the individual who is the subject of the record, by stating 
the individual's name, citizenship status, current address, and date 
and place of birth; (ii) Your own identity, as required in paragraph 
(f)(1) of this section; (iii) That you are the parent or legal guardian 
of the individual, which you may prove by providing a copy of the 
individual's birth certificate showing your parentage or a court order 
establishing your guardianship; and (iv) That you are acting on behalf 
of the individual in making the request.

CONTESTING RECORD PROCEDURES:
    If you are requesting an amendment of an ONDCP record, you must 
identify each particular record in question and the system of records 
in which the record is located, describe the amendment that you seek, 
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, including an annotated copy of the record.

NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES:
    Address inquiries to System Manager named above.
