§ 555.34

27 CFR Ch. II (4–1–10 Edition)

in § 555.103 or § 555.105, the employer
must remove the employee from such
list and immediately, and in no event
later than the second business day
after such change, notify distributors
of such change.
(b) Appeals and correction of erroneous
system information—(1) In general. A responsible person or employee may
challenge the adverse determination
set out in the letter of denial, in writing and within 45 days of issuance of
the determination, by directing his or
her challenge to the basis for the adverse determination, or to the accuracy of the record upon which the adverse determination is based, to the Director. The appeal request must include appropriate documentation or
record(s) establishing the legal and/or
factual basis for the challenge. Any
record or document of a court or other
government entity or official furnished
in support of an appeal must be certified by the court or other government
entity or official as a true copy. In the
case of an employee, or responsible person who did not submit fingerprints,
such appeal must be accompanied by
two properly completed FBI Forms
FD–258 (fingerprint card). The Director
will advise the individual in writing of
his decision and the reasons for the decision.
(2) Employees. The letter of denial,
among other things, will advise an employee who elects to challenge an adverse determination to submit the fingerprint cards as described above. The
employee also will be advised of the
agency name and address that originated the record containing the information causing the adverse determination (‘‘originating agency’’). At that
time, and where appropriate, an employee is encouraged to apply to the
originating agency to challenge the accuracy of the record(s) upon which the
denial is based. The originating agency
may respond to the individual’s application by addressing the individual’s
specific reasons for the challenge, and
by indicating whether additional information or documents are required. If
the record is corrected as a result of
the application to the originating
agency, the individual may so notify
ATF which will, in turn, verify the
record correction with the originating

agency and take all necessary steps to
contact the agency responsible for the
record system and correct the record.
The employee may provide to ATF additional and appropriate documentation or record(s) establishing the legal
and/or factual basis for the challenge
to ATF’s decision to uphold the initial
denial. If ATF does not receive such additional documentation or record(s)
within 45 days of the date of the decision upholding the initial denial, ATF
will close the appeal.
(3) Responsible persons. The letter of
denial, among other things, will advise
a responsible person of the agency
name and address which originated the
record containing the information
causing the adverse determination
(‘‘originating agency’’). A responsible
person who elects to challenge the adverse determination, where appropriate, is encouraged to apply to the
originating agency to challenge the accuracy of the record(s) upon which the
denial is based. The originating agency
may respond to the individual’s application by addressing the individual’s
specific reasons for the challenge, and
by indicating whether additional information or documents are required. If
the record is corrected as a result of
the application to the originating
agency, the individual may so notify
ATF which will, in turn, verify the
record correction with the originating
agency and take all necessary steps to
contact the agency responsible for the
record system and correct the record.
A responsible person may provide additional documentation or records as
specified for employees in paragraph
(b)(2) of this section.
