Data Quality Final Rules and Challenges
Responding to OMB guidance, federal agencies have published their
draft individual plans for improving the quality, objectivity, utility,
and integrity of data. After public comment, agencies will issue
final guidelines Oct. 1. This process is expected to be watched
closely by industry and interest groups (84 DER A-43, 5/1/02 ).

Website for Data Quality Rules | Challenges
(Updated)
The Department of Agriculture has included in its guidelines the
requirement that each USDA agency and office establish an information
quality page on its website on which to post requests for corrections
of information, requests for reconsideration, and actions taken
by the agency in response to such requests. The information quality
page will include information on who requested the correction, the
nature of the request, any specific corrections made, the reason
they were made, and any appropriate supporting documents.
