How do I file Data a Quality Request?

Peer Review

On October 1, 2002, the Department of Transportation (DOT) issued agency guidelines to ensure the quality of disseminated information. If you are affected by information that the Department has disseminated on or after October 1, 2002 (i.e., if you are harmed because the information does not meet the standards of the guidelines or a correction of the information would benefit you), you may request that the Department correct that information. We regard information originally disseminated before October 1, 2002, as being subject to this correction process only if it remains readily available to the public (e.g., it is posted on a DOT website) and it continues to play a significant, active role in Department programs or in private sector decisions.

All data quality requests will be handled via the Federal-wide Docket Management System (FDMS) at http://www.regulations.gov. In order to process and file data quality requests properly with the agencies a Shell Docket has been setup for each agency to accept the “Requests for Correction”. Once the request is received in FDMS, it will be processed by the DOT Dockets staff and will be issued a new docket ID. A notice of the issuance of the docket ID will be submitted back to the Shell docket.

If you are submitting a new "Request for Correction" please search for the appropriate agency docket as listed below.

The following are Shell Dockets to accept New Data Quality Requests for Correction. (Please note: Only New Data Quality Requests for Correction will be accepted in this Docket.)
