# §1662.4. Relationship between the FOIA and the Privacy Act of 1974.

- (a) **Coverage.** The FOIA and the rules in this part apply to all SSS records. The Privacy Act, [5 U.S.C. 552a](/usc/5/552a.md), applies to records that are about individuals, but only if the records are in a system of records.
- (b) **Requesting your own records.** If you have filed a FOIA request and are an individual requesting your own records that are maintained in a system of records, or if you are a parent or legal guardian authorized to act on behalf of a minor or custodian who is seeking the records about a minor or individual who has been declared incompetent, the Agency will handle your request under the Privacy Act.
