PART 1--DISCLOSURE OF RECORDS--Table of Contents
 
                         Subpart C--Privacy Act
 
Sec. 1.20  Purpose and scope of regulations.


    The regulations in this subpart are issued to implement the 
provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a). The regulations 
apply to all records which are contained in systems of records 
maintained by the Department of the Treasury and which are retrieved by 
an individual's name or personal identifier. They do not relate to those 
personnel records of Government employees, which are under the 
jurisdiction of the Office of Personnel Management to the extent such 
records are subject to regulations issued by such OPM. The regulations 
apply to all components of the Department of the Treasury. Any reference 
in this subpart to the Department or its officials, employees, or 
records shall be deemed to refer also to the components or their 
officials, employees, or records. The regulations set forth the 
requirements applicable to Department of the Treasury employees 
maintaining, collecting, using or disseminating records pertaining to 
individuals. They also set forth the procedures by which individuals may 
request notification of whether the Department of the Treasury maintains 
or has disclosed a record pertaining to them or may seek access to such 
records maintained in any nonexempt system of records, request 
correction of such records, appeal any initial adverse determination of 
any request for amendment, or may seek an accounting of disclosures of 
such records. For the convenience of interested persons, the components 
of the Department of the Treasury may reprint these regulations in their 
entirety (less any appendices not applicable to the component in 
question) in those titles of the Code of Federal Regulations which 
normally contain regulations applicable to such components. In 
connection with such republication, and at other appropriate times, 
components may issue supplementary regulations applicable only to the 
component in question, which are consistent with these regulations. In 
the event of any actual or apparent inconsistency, these Departmental 
regulations shall govern. Persons interested in the records of a 
particular component should, therefore, also consult the Code of Federal 
Regulations for any rules or regulations promulgated specifically with 
respect to that component (see Appendices to this subpart for cross 
references). The head of each component is hereby also authorized to 
substitute other appropriate officials for those designated and correct 
addresses specified in the appendix to this subpart applicable to the 
component. The components of the Department of the Treasury for the 
purposes of this subpart are:
