10.15—How your Privacy Act appeal will be handled.

(a) The official responsible for deciding whether to grant your appeal is the Director of Executive Administration of the Panama Canal Commission. The Director of Executive Administration will review the refusal to amend your record and will advise you of his decision within 30 working days or receipt of your appeal.
(b) If the Director of Executive Administration grants your appeal, in whole or in part:
(1) That official will notify you of the decision;
(2) The system manager will promptly correct the record; and
(3) Where an accounting of disclosures has been maintained, the system manager will advise all previous recipients of the record that the correction has been made.
(c) If the Director of Executive Administration denies your appeal, in whole or in part, the letter sent to notify you of this decision must:
(1) Tell you why the appeal is being denied;
(2) Tell you that this denial of your appeal is a final agency decision;
(3) Tell you that you have the right to file a concise statement of your reasons for disagreeing with the decision of the agency; and
(4) Tell you that you have the right to request a U.S. District Court to review this denial of your appeal, as provided by 5 U.S.C. 552a(g).
(d) The Administrator of the Panama Canal Commission may extend the 30-working-day period specified in paragraph (a) of this section for good cause shown. In that case, the Agency Records Officer will notify you in writing of the reason for the delay and will tell you when you can expect a decision on your appeal.
(e) If you choose to file a concise statement of your reasons for disagreeing with the agency's refusal to amend your record:
(1) The system manager shall cause a notation to be made on the disputed portion of the record;
(2) Copies of your statement of disagreement will be provided to anyone to whom the disputed record is subsequently disclosed and (to the extent that an accounting of disclosures has been maintained) to any previous recipients of the disputed record; and
(3) The Commission may, at its discretion, make a brief summary of its reasons for not amending the record and may provide this summary, along with your statement of disagreement, to previous or subsequent recipients of the disputed record.
