(A) If the individual believes that the potentially disqualifying offense in the Federal Bureau of Investigation national criminal response, identified in the notice sent pursuant to subdivision (b)(2) of this section, is inaccurate or incomplete, within 60 calendar days from the date of the notice, the individual may seek to correct or complete the response by providing information to the Exchange, including official court and law enforcement records, identifying and correcting the incomplete or inaccurate criminal history information.
