SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 515 of the Treasury & General 
Government Appropriations Act for FY 2001 (Public Law No. 106-554) 
requires each Federal agency to publish guidelines for ensuring and 
maximizing the quality, objectivity, utility, and integrity of the 
information it disseminates to the public. Agency guidelines must be 
based on government-wide guidelines issued by the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB). In compliance with this statutory requirement and OMB 
instructions, OGE has posted its draft Information Quality Guidelines 
on the OGE Internet Web site (http://www.usoge.gov under ``What's 
New!''). The draft guidelines describe the Agency's proposed procedures 
for ensuring the quality of information that it disseminates to the 
public and the proposed procedures by which an affected person could 
obtain correction of information disseminated by OGE that did not 
comply with the guidelines. The Office of Government Ethics invites 
public comments on its draft guidelines and will consider the comments 
received in developing its proposed final guidelines, which must be 
submitted to OMB for review.
    Persons who cannot access the draft guidelines through the Internet 
may request a paper or electronic copy by contacting Ms. Donovan at the 
address, phone number, E-mail address, or FAX number listed above.

    Approved: July 25, 2002.
James V. Parle,
Deputy Chief Information Officer, Office of Government Ethics.
