Requests for correction of
information should include the
following elements:
- Statement that the Request
for Correction of Information is
Submitted Under USDA's
Information Quality Guidelines
- Requestor Contact Information
The name, mailing address,
telephone number, fax number (if
any), Email address (if any),
and organizational affiliation
(if any) of the person
requesting the correction.
- Description of Information to
Correct
The name of the FNCS
publication, report, or data
product; the date of issuance or
other identifying information
such as the URL of the web page;
and a detailed description that
clearly identifies the specific
information contained in that
publication, report, or data
product for which a correction
is being sought.
- Explanation of Noncompliance
with OMB and/or USDA Information
Quality Guidelines
An explanation that describes
how the information fails to
meet either the OMB or USDA
Information Quality Guidelines.
- Explanation of the Effect of
the Alleged Error
An explanation that describes
the requestor's use of the
information in question and how
the requestor is affected by the
alleged error.
- Recommendation and
Justification for How the
Information Should Be Corrected
The requestor should state
specifically how the information
should be corrected and explain
why the corrections should be
made. A request for correction
that is specific and provides
evidence to support the need for
correction is likely to be more
persuasive than a request that
is general, unfocused, or that
simply indicates disagreement
with the information in
question.
