       CHAPTER VI--CHEMICAL SAFETY AND HAZARD INVESTIGATION BOARD
 
PART 1602_PROTECTION OF PRIVACY AND ACCESS TO INDIVIDUAL RECORDS
UNDER THE PRIVACY ACT OF 1974--Table of Contents
 
Sec.  1602.5  Appeals from denials of requests for access to records.

    (a) Appeals. If you are dissatisfied with the CSB's response to your 
request for access to records, you may appeal an adverse determination 
denying your request in any respect to the Privacy Act Appeals Officer 
of the CSB, 2175 K Street, NW., Suite 400, Washington, DC 20037. You 
must make your appeal in writing, and it must be received within 60 days 
of the date of the letter denying your request. Your appeal letter may 
include as much or as little related information as you wish, as long as 
it clearly identifies the determination (including the assigned request 
number, if any) that you are appealing. For the quickest possible 
handling, you should mark both your appeal letter and the envelope 
``Privacy Act Appeal.''
    (b) Responses to appeals. The decision on your appeal will be made 
in writing. A decision affirming an adverse determination in whole or in 
part will include a brief statement of the reason(s) for the affirmance, 
including any Privacy Act exemption applied, and will inform you of the 
Privacy Act provisions for court review of the decision. If the adverse 
determination is reversed or modified on appeal in whole or in part, you 
will be notified in a written decision and your request will be 
reprocessed in accordance with that appeal decision.
    (c) When appeal is required. If you wish to seek review by a court 
of any adverse determination or denial of a request, you must first 
appeal it under this section.
