5 CFR 2100.7 - Request for correction or amendment.
§ 2100.7
Request for correction or amendment.
(a)
Requests to correct or amend a file shall be addressed to the system manager in which the file is located. The request must reasonably describe the record to be amended, the items to be changed as specifically as possible, the type of amendment (e.g., deletion, correction, amendment), and the reason for the amendment. The request should also include the reasons why the requester believes the record is not accurate, relevant, timely, or complete. The burden of proof will be upon the individual to furnish sufficient facts to persuade the change of the record of the inaccuracy, irrelevancy, timeliness, or incompleteness of the record. Normally all documents submitted, to include court orders, shall be certified. Amendments under this part are limited to correcting factual matters and not matters of official judgement or opinions.
(b)
Requirements of identification as outlined in § 2100.4 apply to requests to correct or amend a file.
(c)
Incomplete requests shall not be honored, but the requester shall be contacted for the additional information needed to process the request.
