P.R. Laws tit. 8, § 446d
The subject of the report shall be entitled to request in writing from the Secretary of the Department a copy of the information found in the Central Registry referring to his or her case. The Secretary or his or her designee shall furnish the information, provided this does not go against the best interests of the minor, and provided that the necessary steps be taken to protect the confidentiality of the person who in good faith reported the case or cooperated during its investigation.
If the request for information is denied, the person affected by the Secretary’s decision may resort to the Court of Appeals within a period not to exceed thirty (30) days, as of the date of notice of the final decision.
In those referrals lacking grounds, the subject of the report may request in writing that his name be amended or deleted from the Registry within thirty (30) days following the date of the notification that there are no grounds. The Commonwealth Center for the Protection of Minors shall have thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of the request to act thereon. If the request is denied or the Center fails to act thereon, the subject of the report shall have thirty (30) days to file his or her petition for review with the Court of Appeals. This thirty (30)-day discretionary review term shall begin on the date of notification by the Commonwealth Center for the Protection of Minors, or when the term expires for the Center to act on the petition to eliminate or amend made by the subject of the report.
