§ 317.46 - Time limits.

Within 10 working days, excluding Federal holidays, of receiving an amendment request, provide the individual a written acknowledgment of the request. If action on the amendment request is completed within the 10 working days and the individual is so informed, no separate acknowledgment is necessary. The acknowledgment must clearly identify the request and advise the individual when to expect notification of the completed action. Only under exceptional circumstances shall more than 30 working days, excluding Federal holidays, be required to complete the action on an amendment request. If a completed action takes longer than 30 working days, the delay must be explained fully in the Privacy Act case file.
