OMB Section 515 Information Quality Guidelines Background  

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued government-wide guidelines under section 515 of the Treasury and General Government Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2001. The OMB section 515 guidelines:

  • Are intended to ensure and maximize the quality, objectivity, utility and integrity of information disseminated by Federal agencies
     
  • Direct each Federal agency to issue its own information quality guidelines
     
  • Require each agency to establish procedures that allow people to seek correction of information disseminated by the agency on or after October 1, 2002, that is subject to section 515 and which does not comply with the agency or OMB guidelines

You can review the RRB section 515 information quality guidelines.  These guidelines conform to the guidance, scope of applicability, and intent of the guidelines issued by OMB.
