Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 117 / Tuesday, June 18, 2019 / Notices
When an individual is seeking records
about himself or herself from this
system of records or any other
Departmental system of records, the
individual’s request must conform with
the Privacy Act regulations set forth in
6 CFR part 5. The individual must first
verify his/her identity, meaning that the
individual must provide his/her full
name, current address, and date and
place of birth. The individual must sign
the request, and the individual’s
signature must either be notarized or
submitted under 28 U.S.C. 1746, a law
that permits statements to be made
under penalty of perjury as a substitute
for notarization. While no specific form
is required, an individual may obtain
forms for this purpose from the Chief
Privacy Officer and Chief Freedom of
Information Act Officer, https://
www.dhs.gov/foia or 1–866–431–0486.
In addition, the individual should:
• Explain why he or she believes the
Department would have information
being requested;
• Identify which component(s) of the
Department he or she believes may have
the information;
• Specify when the individual
believes the records would have been
created; and
• Provide any other information that
will help the FOIA staff determine
which DHS component agency may
have responsive records;
If an individual’s request is seeking
records pertaining to another living
individual, the request must include an
authorization from the individual whose
record is being requested, authorizing
the release to the requester.
Without the above information, the
component(s) may not be able to
conduct an effective search, and the
individual’s request may be denied due
to lack of specificity or lack of
compliance with applicable regulations.

CONTESTING RECORD PROCEDURES:
For records covered by the Privacy
Act or covered JRA records, individuals
may make a request for amendment or
correction of a record of the Department
about the individual by writing directly
to the Department component that
maintains the record, unless the record
is not subject to amendment or
correction. The request should identify
each particular record in question, state
the amendment or correction desired,
and state why the individual believes
that the record is not accurate, relevant,
timely, or complete. The individual may
submit any documentation that would
be helpful. If the individual believes
that the same record is in more than one
system of records, the request should
state that and be addressed to each

component that maintains a system of
records containing the record. For
records not covered by the Privacy Act
or Judicial Redress Act, individuals may
still amend their records at a USCIS

by contacting the USCIS Contact Center
at 1–800–375–5283.
