(a) You can request that CEQ correct or update its records about you using the same procedures you would use to make a request for access to your records under § 1516.4.

(b) In your request, you must explain exactly what change you are requesting and point out specific pieces of information in your CEQ records that are inaccurate, irrelevant, outdated, or incomplete.

(c) CEQ will review your request, decide whether to grant or deny it, and inform you of the decision within 10 working days (i.e., excepting Saturdays, Sundays, and Federal holidays).

(d) If CEQ denies your request, CEQ will give you the reason for its decision in writing and explain how you can appeal the denial.
