How to Make a Privacy Act Request

Information may be requested from the Commission under the Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. 552a. Privacy Act requests for information in the Commission's files must be in writing, and sent to the Privacy Act contact address found below. The Privacy Act permits a person to seek access to agency records pertaining to him or herself, provided the record is maintained within a "system of records" - i.e., the record is retrieved by that individual requester's name or personal identifier. Several exemptions apply, however. To learn more, see the Commission's policies related to the release of information at 47 CFR Subpart E, Privacy Act Regulations.
