AGENCY: Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of Availability of Revised Peer Review Guidelines.

SUMMARY: This is a Notice of Availability of the amended Information 
Quality guidelines of the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and 
Enforcement (OSM). OSM's amended guidelines implement the Information 
Quality guidelines published by the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) in the Federal Register. The OMB guidelines directed Federal 
agencies to issue and implement guidelines to ensure and maximize the 
quality, objectivity, utility, and integrity of Government information 
disseminated to the public. Accordingly, OSM is amending its 
Information Quality Guidelines in order to provide current information 
about the title of the Information Quality contact. We are making no 
other substantive changes. We are making minor, non-substantive 
editorial and technical corrections. The corrected guidelines are 
available on the OSM Internet Web site at: http://www.osmre.gov/guidance/osm_info_quality.shtm.

Officer, Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement, 1951
