Article 87Implementing Disclosure

第八十七条(開示の実施)

The disclosure of personal information an administrative entity holds is implemented through inspection or by the delivery of copies, if that personal information is contained in the form of documents or drawings; or by means designated by the administrative organ's head or administrative entity in consideration of the type of the record, the state of its digitalization, and other factors, if that personal information is contained in the electronic or magnetic records; provided, however, that if disclosure of personal information an administrative entity holds is to be implemented through inspection, and if the administrative organ's head or administrative entity finds that inspection of the original material is likely to hinder the preservation of the documents or pictures that contain the personal information, or there are other justifiable grounds for doing so, the disclosure of the personal information may be implemented through inspection of a copy of the documents or drawings.

保有個人情報の開示は、当該保有個人情報が、文書又は図画に記録されているときは閲覧又は写しの交付により、電磁的記録に記録されているときはその種別、情報化の進展状況等を勘案して行政機関等が定める方法により行う。ただし、閲覧の方法による保有個人情報の開示にあっては、行政機関の長等は、当該保有個人情報が記録されている文書又は図画の保存に支障を生ずるおそれがあると認めるとき、その他正当な理由があるときは、その写しにより、これを行うことができる。

An administrative entity must make its rules on the means of disclosure for electronic or magnetic records based on the preceding paragraph available for public inspection.

行政機関等は、前項の規定に基づく電磁的記録についての開示の方法に関する定めを一般の閲覧に供しなければならない。

A person to whom personal information an administrative entity holds is disclosed based upon a decision to disclose must indicate the means of implementing the disclosure that the person requests and other matters prescribed by Cabinet Order to the administrative organ's head or administrative entity that has made the decision to disclose, pursuant to the provisions of Cabinet Order.

開示決定に基づき保有個人情報の開示を受ける者は、政令で定めるところにより、当該開示決定をした行政機関の長等に対し、その求める開示の実施の方法その他の政令で定める事項を申し出なければならない。

The indication under the preceding paragraph must be made within thirty days from the date of the notice prescribed in Article 82, paragraph (1); provided, however, this does not apply if there are justifiable grounds for being unable to make the indication within that period of time.

前項の規定による申出は、第八十二条第一項に規定する通知があった日から三十日以内にしなければならない。ただし、当該期間内に当該申出をすることができないことにつき正当な理由があるときは、この限りでない。
