Bill Analysis
HR 6329 – Information Quality Assurance Act of 2025
119th Congress – Status: Passed House; referred to Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs
HR 6329 amends and strengthens federal “information quality” requirements governing how executive branch agencies collect, analyze, and disseminate data, statistics, and other public-facing information.
The bill codifies and updates the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) government‑wide information quality guidelines under the Paperwork Reduction Act. It requires OMB to issue binding standards for information quality, integrity, objectivity, utility, transparency, reproducibility, and correction procedures across agencies. Agencies must adopt or revise their own implementing guidelines, subject to OMB approval, and periodically review them.
The bill formalizes a process by which affected persons can seek correction of agency-disseminated information they allege is inaccurate, unreliable, or not in compliance with OMB standards. Agencies must establish clear, timely administrative mechanisms to receive, consider, and respond to such requests, including written explanations of decisions and, where appropriate, corrections, retractions, or clarifications. OMB must oversee agency compliance and may require reporting on the volume, disposition, and timeliness of correction requests.
HR 6329 applies to most executive agencies that disseminate information to the public, including regulatory, statistical, scientific, and policy agencies. It does not directly regulate private entities, but benefits data users such as researchers, regulated industries, advocacy groups, and the general public by strengthening avenues to challenge and correct federal information products (e.g., reports, risk assessments, guidance documents, web postings).
The bill likely authorizes OMB and agencies to use existing appropriations to implement these requirements; it does not create major new grant programs or large mandatory spending. Any additional costs arise from developing guidelines, recordkeeping, responding to correction requests, and OMB oversight.
Key timelines typically include deadlines (e.g., within 1 year of enactment) for OMB to issue updated government‑wide guidelines and for agencies to submit and implement conforming policies, followed by recurring review and reporting intervals set by OMB.
