§ 1182.4 Procedures for notifying the public of the Institute's systems of records.

(a) From time to time, the Institute shall review its systems of records in the Federal Register, and publish, if necessary, any amendments to those systems of records. Such publication shall not be made for those systems of records maintained by other agencies while in the temporary custody of the Institute. (b) At least 30 days prior to publication of information under paragraph (a) of this section, the Institute shall publish in the Federal Register a notice of its intention to establish any new routine uses of any of its systems of records, thereby providing the public an opportunity to comment on such uses. This notice published by the Institute shall contain the following: (1) The name of the system of records for which the routine use is to be established; (2) The authority for the system; (3) The purpose for which the record is to be maintained; (4) The proposed routine use(s); (5) The purpose of the routine use(s); and (6) The categories of recipients of such use. (c) Any request for additions to the routine uses of Institute systems should be sent to the Office of the General Counsel (see § 1182.3). (d) Any individual who wishes to know whether an Institute system contains a record pertaining to him or her should write to the Office of the General Counsel (see § 1182.3). Such individuals may also call the Office of the General Counsel at (202) 653-4787 on business days, between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., to schedule an appointment to make an inquiry in person. Inquiries should be presented in writing and should specifically identify the Institute systems involved. The Institute will attempt to respond to an inquiry regarding whether a record exists within 10 business days of receiving the inquiry.
