MERIT SYSTEMS PROTECTION BOARD


Information Quality Guidelines

AGENCY: Merit Systems Protection Board.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB or the Board) 
announces that its final Information Quality Guidelines, which are 
effective October 1, 2002, have been posted on the MSPB website.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Bentley M. Roberts, Jr., Clerk of the 
Board, 1615 M Street, NW., Washington, DC 20419; telephone (202) 653-
7200; facsimile (202) 653-7130; e-mail to [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 515 of the Treasury & General 
Government Appropriations Act of FY 2001 (Public Law 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, the MSPB has posted its final Information Quality 
Guidelines on the MSPB Web site (www.mspb.gov). The Guidelines describe 
the agency's procedures for ensuring the quality of information that it 
disseminates to the public and the procedures by which an affected 
person may obtain correction of information disseminated by the MSPB 
that does not comply with the agency's Guidelines or the government-
wide guidelines issued by OMB. Persons who cannot access the Guidelines 
through the Internet may request a paper or electronic copy by 
contacting the Office of the Clerk of the Board.

    Dated: September 23, 2002.
Bentley M. Roberts,
Clerk of the Board.
