EPA's Information Quality Guidelines (IQG)

The EPA's Guidelines for Ensuring and Maximizing the Quality, Objectivity, Utility, and Integrity of Information Disseminated by the Environmental Protection Agency (PDF 529KB) create a mechanism that enables the public to seek and obtain, where appropriate, correction of information disseminated by the EPA that does not comply with OMB or EPA's Information Quality Guidelines.

You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader, available as a free download, to view some of the files on this page. See EPA's PDF page to learn more about PDF, and for a link to the free Acrobat Reader.
