10.12—How to request amendment of your record under the Privacy Act.
After you have reviewed your record, you may ask the Commission to correct or amend any portion of the record that you believe is not accurate, timely, relevant, or complete. To make a request for amendment, you must:
(a)
Write to the Panama Canal Commission, Agency Records Officer, Unit 2300, APO AA 34011-2300 (or Balboa, Republic of Panama).
(b)
State in your letter that you are requesting amendment of a record under the Privacy Act, and clearly mark the envelope “Privacy Act Request for Amendment.” A request for amendment of a record under 5 U.S.C. 552a which is not properly addressed and is not marked in this way shall not be considered to be received by the Commission until it has actually been received by the Agency Records Officer.
(c)
In your letter, identify the system of records involved, if you can, and identify the particular record or portion of the record you wish to have corrected or amended. If possible, attach a copy of the record in question.
(d)
Explain in your letter why you believe the record or portion of the record is not accurate, timely, relevant, or complete, and provide any evidence available to support your request.
(e)
Include in your letter any other information that may be necessary for proper processing of your request.
