RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD


Guidelines for Ensuring and Maximizing the Quality, Objectivity, 
Utility and Integrity of Information Disseminated by Federal Agencies

AGENCY: Railroad Retirement Board (RRB).

ACTION: Notice; comments requested.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Section 515 of the Treasury and General Government 
Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2001 (Pub. L. 106-554) directs the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to issue government-wide 
guidelines for Federal agencies to ensure and maximize the quality, 
objectivity, utility and integrity of information disseminated by 
federal agencies. In response, OMB issued government-wide guidelines on 
February 22, 2002 (67 FR 8452), (subsequently revised on March 4, 2002 
(67 FR 9797)), that require Federal agencies that are subject to the 
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35) to develop and publish 
their own information quality guidelines along with administrative 
mechanisms to allow persons to request correction of covered 
information.
    This notice serves to announce the availability of RRB section 515 
draft information quality guidelines and correction procedures on the 
agency's web site: www.rrb.gov/bis/section515/comments.html. RRB is 
requesting comments on section 515 draft guidelines for ensuring and 
maximizing the quality, objectivity, utility and integrity of 
disseminated information and on the proposed mechanisms for seeking 
correction of covered information. The RRB will consider all comments 
received in response to this notice and will develop final guidelines 
and mechanisms for seeking correction for submission to OMB by July 1, 
2002.
    Notice of RRB's final guidelines and correction procedures will be 
published in the Federal Register and will be available on the RRB web 
site no later than October 1, 2002.

DATES: To be considered, comments must be received by June 15, 2002.

ADDRESSES: Comments can be sent to Mr. Ronald J. Hodapp, Bureau of 
Information Services, by FAX at (312) 751-7154, by e-mail at 
[email protected], or by mail. Comments sent by mail should be addressed
