(1) When and where the records will be available;
(2) Name, title and telephone number of the official who will make the records available;
(3) Whether access will be granted only by providing a copy of the record through the mail, or only by examination of the record in person if the Privacy Act Officer after consulting with the appropriate system manager has determined the requester's access would not be unduly impeded;
(4) Fee, if any, charged for copies (See Sec. 1630.16); and
(5) If necessary, documentation required to verify the identity of the requester (See Sec. 1630.7). [55 FR 18852, May 7, 1990, as amended at 67694, 67695, Dec. 3, 1999]
