(a) Manner of access. A component that has made a determination to
grant a request for access shall grant the requester access to the
requested record either by providing the requester with a copy of the
record, or making the record available for inspection by the requester
at a reasonable time and place. The component shall charge the
requester only duplication costs in accordance with the provisions of
Sec. 71.6. If a component provides access to a record by making the
record available for inspection by the requester, the manner of such
inspection shall not unreasonably disrupt the operations of the
component.
(b) Accompanying person. A requester appearing in person to review
his own records may be accompanied by another individual of his own
choosing. The requester shall provide the Department with his or her
written consent to disclose the record to the accompanying person.
