Information Quality Correction Requests 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:
Links to each of the requests received by the Department are provided below. Specific identifying information has been removed in order to protect the privacy of the individual submitting the request. FY 2003 | FY 2004 | FY 2005 | FY 2006 | FY 2007 | FY 2008 |
Reclassified Information Quality Correction Requests Previously, the table above included 35 requests received by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) during FY 2004, FY 2005, and FY 2006. When the requests were received, they were classified and processed as Information Quality Correction Requests (IQCRs). However, the OSHA e-Correspondence program already existed and was designed to resolve the issues described in the requests. Since the e-Correspondence program would have been a more appropriate vehicle for resolving the issues, these 35 requests are no longer classified as IQCRs. For reference, the reclassified requests are still available on a separate web page. To see these requests, click here. |
