AGENCY: Council on Environmental Quality, Executive Office of the
President.
ACTION: Notice of availability of final guidelines.

SUMMARY: This notice announces the availability of final guidelines.
These guidelines implement Section 515 of the Treasury and General
Government Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2002 (Pub. L. 106-554;
H.R. 5658). Section 515 directs the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) to issue government-wide guidelines, followed by individual
agency guidelines, to ensure and maximize the quality, objectivity,
utility, and integrity of information, including statistical
information, disseminated by the agency and to establish administrative
mechanisms allowing affected persons to seek and obtain correction of
information maintained and disseminated by the agency that does not
comply with such guidelines. Each agency must also report periodically
to the OMB director on the number, nature, and resolution of complaints
received by the agency in regards to these requirements.
The Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) has promulgated
guidelines implementing these requirements. They are available at CEQ's
offices at 722 Jackson Place, NW., Washington, DC 20503, and at the CEQ
web site at http://www.whitehouse.gov/ceq. The final guidelines are
intended to comply with both the statutory requirements noted above and
the final guidelines published by OMB on February 22, 2002 (67 FR 36,
8452).
DATES: Effective October 18, 2002.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dinah Bear, General Counsel, Council
on Environmental Quality. Telephone: (202) 395-7421 or by e-mail to

Dated: October 18, 2002.
