SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Section 515 of the Treasury and General Government Appropriations Act for FY 2001 (Public Law No. 106-554) requires each Federal agency to publish Guidelines for ensuring and maximizing the quality, objectivity, utility, and integrity of the information it disseminates to the public. Agency Guidelines must conform to government-wide guidelines issued by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). In compliance with this statutory requirement and OMB instructions, the NLRB has posted its Information Quality Guidelines on the NLRB Web site (www.NLRB.gov) in the “Public Notices” area. The Guidelines describe the Agency's procedures for ensuring the quality of information that it disseminates to the public and the procedures by which an affected person may obtain correction of information disseminated by the NLRB that does not comply with the Guidelines. Persons who cannot access the Guidelines through the Internet may request a paper or electronic copy by contacting the Division of Information at [phone].

Dated: September 27, 2002.

Lester A. Heltzer,

Acting Executive Secretary.
