Establish error correction procedures
Establishing error correction procedures may include considerations for:
- The responsible party for providing revised data (e.g. database revisions are prompted only when facilities submit revised reports, the governing agency may revise reported data at its discretion);
- The mechanisms facilities will use to report revised data to the PRTR (e.g. reporting software, a unique form for revisions); and
- Version control for revising records within the PRTR data system (Will data be periodically frozen? Will the original record be maintained? How will different versions of a record be differentiated?).
For a cost-effective management scheme, you may wish to implement the next element (Data Dissemination and Access) or choose another element from the Management scheme elements list.
