(b) The name of the system of records;

(c) Any information necessary to retrieve the record, as specified in the system notice for the system of records (See §1212.201(c)(2));

(d) A description of that information in the record which is alleged to be inaccurate, irrelevant, untimely, or incomplete; and,

(e) Any documentary evidence or material available to support the request.

§ 1212.301   Processing the request to amend.

(a) Within 10 work days of receipt by NASA of a request to amend a record, the system manager shall provide the requester with a written determination or acknowledgement advising when action may be taken.

(b) When necessary, NASA may utilize up to 30 work days after receipt to provide the determination on a request to amend a record.

(c) If the request for amendment is denied, the determination shall explain the reasons for the denial and inform the requester of the procedures to follow for appeal (See §1212.4)).

§ 1212.302   Granting the request to amend.
