Information Quality Correction Requests
FY 2003 and FY 2004

Introduction

In response to the Information Quality Act, the Department of Labor has established processes that allow affected persons to question the quality of information disseminated by the Department. The process begins with an affected person submitting an Information Quality Correction Request (IQCR). Currently, the Department has a policy of responding to all IQCRs within 60 days. In an effort to enhance government transparency, the Department has also adopted a policy of posting IQCRs on a public web page. This policy was adopted in response to a directive from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The intent of the OMB directive is to ensure consistency among Federal agencies regarding the public availability of correspondence concerning Information Quality Correction Requests.

Posting IQCRs on a public web page is one element of the Information Quality program at the Department of Labor. Overall, the program includes:

Issuing Information Quality guidelines that will ensure and maximize the quality, objectivity, utility and integrity of information disseminated by the Department.
Establishing administrative mechanisms allowing affected persons to seek and obtain correction of information maintained and disseminated by the Department.
Reporting the number and the nature of the complaints received to the Director of OMB.

During FY 2003 and FY 2004, the Department received a total of 42 IQCRs. Links to each of these requests are provided below. Specific identifying information has been removed in order to protect the privacy of the individual submitting the request.
