Report Review and Clearance

To ensure accuracy, objectivity, and clarity of our products, the Office of Homeland Security Statistics (OHSS) works with a variety of stakeholders before publishing data and reports. Some stakeholders have authority to delay publication until issues are resolved, while others provide comments that OHSS may accept at its discretion. The stakeholders who can delay publication have clearance authority. They review OHSS products for specific issues based on their expertise. Stakeholders who do not have authority to delay publication are reviewers. OHSS provides them a chance to review some products before publication but has the discretion to accept or not accept recommendations from this group of stakeholders.
