{"abstract":"These final guidelines implement section 515 of the Treasury and General Government Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2001 (Public Law 106-554; H.R. 5658). Section 515 directs the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to issue government-wide guidelines that \"provide policy and procedural guidance to Federal agencies for ensuring and maximizing the quality, objectivity, utility, and integrity of information (including statistical information) disseminated by Federal agencies.\" By October 1, 2002, agencies must issue their own implementing guidelines that include \"administrative mechanisms allowing affected persons to seek and obtain correction of information maintained and disseminated by the agency\" that does not comply with the OMB guidelines. These final guidelines also reflect the changes OMB made to the guidelines issued September 28, 2001, as a result of receiving additional comment on the \"capable of being substantially reproduced\" standard (paragraphs V.3.B, V.9, and V.10), which OMB previously issued on September 28, 2001, on an interim final basis.","action":"Final guidelines.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET","name":"Management and Budget Office","id":280,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/management-and-budget-office","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/280","parent_id":null,"slug":"management-and-budget-office"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2002/02/22/R2-59.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"67 FR 8452","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Effective Date: January 3, 2002.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":[],"dockets":[],"document_number":"R2-59","effective_on":"2002-01-03","end_page":8460,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"explanation":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2002/02/22/R2-59.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2002/02/22/R2-59/guidelines-for-ensuring-and-maximizing-the-quality-objectivity-utility-and-integrity-of-information","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/R2-59?publication_date=2002-02-22","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2002-02-22/R2-59/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":9,"page_views":{"count":29108,"last_updated":"2026-04-24 14:15:03 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2002-02-22/pdf/R2-59.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":null,"publication_date":"2002-02-22","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2002/02/22/R2-59.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":8452,"subtype":null,"title":"Guidelines for Ensuring and Maximizing the Quality, Objectivity, Utility, and Integrity of Information Disseminated by Federal Agencies; Republication","toc_doc":"Information disseminated by Federal agencies; quality, objectivity, utility, and integrity guidelines; republication","toc_subject":"Reports and guidance documents; availability, etc.:","topics":[],"type":"Notice","volume":67}
