  Federal Register on Information Quality Guidelines
OMB believes that information generated and disseminated in these contexts is not covered by these guidelines unless the agency represents the information as, or uses the information in support of, an official position of the agency.
OMB guidelines apply stricter quality standards to the dissemination of information that is considered "influential.'' Comments noted that the breadth of the definition of "influential'' in interim final paragraph V.9 requires much speculation on the part of agencies.
OMB agrees and asks that agencies consider, in developing their own guidelines, which categories of original and supporting data should be subject to the reproducibility standard and which should not.

 GAO Report on OMB Security Oversight
OMB can improve its oversight effectiveness by taking advantage of the increasing amount of audit information on information security that is becoming routinely available as a by-product of agency financial statement audits required under the Chief Financial Officers (CFO) Act.
OMB can use this audit information, in conjunction with the results of agency self assessments, to evaluate the scope and adequacy of information security reviews at individual agencies and to monitor progress in correcting identified problems.
OMB generally does not obtain the more detailed self assessments of information security that agencies should be using as the basis for these summaries.

 AAA Response to OMB Directive 15: Race and Ethnic Standards for Federal Statistics and Administrative Reporting
OMB then instituted an Interagency Committee for the Review of Racial and Ethnic Standards, and appointed a Research Subcommittee to assess available research and conduct new research as a basis for possible revision of the Directive.
OMB Directive 15 views race and ethnicity as distinct phenomena and appropriate ways to categorize people because both are thought to identify distinct populations.
Third, OMB Directive 15, Census and common sense treat race and ethnicity as properties of an individual, ignoring the extent to which both are defined by the individual's relation to the society at large.

In addition, OMB has approved the use of the new standards by the Bureau of the Census in the "Dress Rehearsal" for Census 2000 scheduled to be conducted in March 1998.
