Individual record request procedures

The official title is "Required Procedure with Regard to a Request by an Individual for a Record Contained Within a System of Records." This is shown in the section heading for 70a.4.

The Part Number is 70a and the Part Number Title is "Protection of Individual Privacy in Records." These metadata elements are listed on the Part 70a page at Part 70a.

It means the procedural requirements originally published as 70a.4 were moved and updated and are now contained under Part 71.4, so you should consult the Part 71.4 text for the current rule. The redesignation note appears on the 70a.4 entry on Part 70a and is recorded in the Federal Register (63 FR 56743, October 22, 1998).

The official electronic GPO source is the e-CFR, which is cited in the section metadata for 70a.4; you can see this reference on the 70a.4 entry at Part 70a.

The redesignation was published in the Federal Register on October 22, 1998, at 63 FR 56743. That Federal Register citation is included on the 70a.4 entry shown at Part 70a.

No—this document indicates that no related interpretation letters were found for this batch. That status is shown in the metadata for 70a.4 on Part 70a.

You should follow the current text in Part 71.4 because 70a.4 was redesignated and revised as Part 71.4; 70a.4 itself points users to that change on the Part 70a entry. The redesignation indicates the procedural requirements were moved and updated.

The entry cites the Federal Register notice "63 FR 56743, October 22, 1998" as the administrative action that redesignated and revised 70a.4, and that citation appears on the 70a.4 page at Part 70a.

The document text shown for 70a.4 in this batch is primarily a redesignation and metadata note (it states the section title, part number, and that it was "REDESIGNATED AND REVISED AS PART 71.4"). For procedural steps, you must consult the current Part 71.4 rather than the 70a.4 entry on Part 70a.

Someone citing the rule should use the current citation (Part 71.4) because 70a.4 was redesignated and revised; the 70a.4 page on Part 70a documents that redesignation and points to the updated location.
