10.10—How to request review of a system manager's denial of access.
(a)
If the system manager denies your request for records, in whole or in part, you may ask the Agency Records Officer to review that decision. The denial is not considered a final agency decision unless it has been reviewed and confirmed in writing by the Agency Records Officer.
(1)
Write to the Panama Canal Commission, Agency Records Officer, Unit 2300, APO AA 34011-2300 (or Balboa, Republic of Panama); and
(2)
State in your letter that you are requesting review of the system manager's denial and clearly mark the envelope “Privacy Act Request for Review”; and
(3)
Mail or deliver the request for review within ten working days after you receive the system manager's denial.
(c)
Although it is not required, it may be helpful if you state in your request for review the reasons why you disagree with the decision on your request for access and your reasons for wanting the records.
