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

AGENCY: Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board.

ACTION: Notice of availability of final guidelines.

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

SUMMARY: The Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board (CSB) 
announces that its final Guidelines for Ensuring and Maximizing the 
Quality, Objectivity, Utility, and Integrity of Information 
Disseminated by the agency have been posted on the CSB Web site, http://www.csb.gov.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Christopher W. Warner, (202) 261-7600.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 515 of the Treasury and General 
Government Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2001 (Pub. L. 106-554) 
requires each Federal agency to publish guidelines for ensuring and 
maximizing the quality, objectivity, utility, and integrity of the 
information it disseminates. Agency guidelines must be based on 
government-wide guidelines issued by the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB). In accordance with this statutory requirement and OMB 
instructions, the CSB has posted its final Information Quality 
Guidelines on the agency Web site (http://www.csb.gov) and is 
publishing this notice of availability. The CSB previously posted 
interim Information Quality Guidelines on its website and published a 
notice of their availability and request for comments in the Federal 
Register (68 FR 19968, April 23, 2003). No comments were received and 
the final Information Quality Guidelines are unchanged from the interim 
version.
    The Guidelines describe the CSB's procedures for ensuring the 
quality of information that it disseminates and the procedures by which 
an affected person or entity may obtain correction of information 
disseminated by the CSB that does not comply with the Guidelines.

(Authority: Sec. 515, Pub. L. 106-554; 114 Stat. 2763).

    Dated: August 8, 2003.
Raymond C. Porfiri,
Deputy General Counsel.
