 Information Correction Form Instructions
(01/15/2008)The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued government-wide guidelines under section 515 of the Treasury and General Government Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2001 (Public Law 106-554) to ensure and maximize the quality, objectivity, utility and integrity of information disseminated by federal agencies. OMB's guidelines were published in the Federal Register in Volume 66, No. 189, on September 28, 2001, and updated in Volume 2, No. 67, on January 3, 2002. A corrected version of the guidelines was published in the Federal Register in Volume 67, No. 36, on February 22, 2002. Each federal agency is responsible for issuing its own section 515 guidelines. As a result, U.S. Customs and Border Protection has developed corresponding information quality guidelines.
