PART 301-COPYRIGHT ROYALTY TRIBUNAL RULES OF PROCEDURE
Subpart C-Public Access to and Inspection of Records
Source: 43 FR 53719, Nov. 17, 1978.
Sec. 301.24 Privacy Act.
(a) The Privacy Act of 1974 (Pub. L. 93-579) 5 U.S.C. 552(a), concerns
only requests which contain personal information retrievable by a
personal identified. This section does not apply to personnel records
located in Government-wide systems elsewhere. The purpose of the Privacy
Act is to enable individuals to:
(1) Learn if the Tribunal maintains records concerning them;
(2) Have access to such records;
(3) Learn if and to whom the Tribunal has disclosed such records; and
(4) Amend such records.
The Tribunal, in compliance with paragraph (a)(4) of this section, will
record the disclosures of all records, their dates, the material
disclosed, and to whom the material has been disclosed.
(b) A request made under the Privacy Act must be in writing, captioned
``Privacy Act Request,'' and identify as accurately as possible the
records in question and the nature of the information desired. This
section is not to be construed as allowing an individual access to
information compiled in reasonable anticipation of a civil action or
proceeding.
(c) The request must be signed by the person making it, and such
signature will be considered certification that the person signing is
either the individual involved or that person's guardian. If the
Chairman considers it necessary, he may require additional verification.
Section 552(a)(i)(3) of the Privacy Act; 5 U.S.C. 552(a)(i)(3), states
the penalties for false representation.
(d) If a medical record is involved and the chairman feels that its
disclosure might adversely affect the individual, he shall require that
person to designate a medical doctor to whom the record will be
transmitted.
(e) Within 10 working days after the Tribunal has received such a
request, the Chairman shall acknowledge its receipt to the requester and
within 30 days shall inform the requester how the records may be
inspected and the cost for copying, unless the records are exempted
under Sec. 301.21(c).
(f) If an individual who has obtained access to personal records
wishes to have those records amended, he or she must make such a request
in writing, state the nature of the information desired amended, and
cite the reasons. Within 10 working days after the Tribunal has received
such a request, the Chairman shall acknowledge its receipt and inform
the requester whether or not the request has been granted. If the
request is denied, the Chairman shall explain why and inform the
requester of the right to appeal the denial to the Tribunal. All appeals
must be in writing, with the caption ``Privacy Act Appeal,'' and the
Chairman will inform the requester of their disposition within 30
working days, unless there is good cause for the time to be extended. If
the appeal is denied the requester will be notified of the provision for
judicial review under 5 U.S.C. 552(b).
(g) Exempt from this section is all investigatory material compiled
for law enforcement purposes as stipulated in 5 U.S.C. 552(k)(2).
