BLM Bulletin for Peer Review The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) directive, Final Information Quality Bulletin for Peer Review, dated December 15, 2004 (263 KB PDF), requires that there be a “systematic process of peer review planning” and access to a list of information products for official dissemination that will be peer reviewed as either influential scientific information or highly influential scientific assessments. Based on the review it has conducted, the Bureau of Land Management believes it does not currently produce or sponsor the distribution of influential scientific information (including highly influential scientific assessments) within the definition promulgated by OMB. As a result, at this time BLM has no agenda of forthcoming influential scientific disseminations to post on its website in accordance with OMB's Information Quality Bulletin for Peer Review.
