    (1) The basis for the denial;

    (2) The right to judicial review of the decision under 5 U.S.C. 552a(g)(1)(A); and

    (3) The right to file a concise statement with the Board stating the reasons why the requester disagrees with the denial. This statement will become a part of the requester's record.
