Temperature error correction

I'm hoping to be doing some flying in the US soon and was wondering if anyone could confirm if radar vectors from ATC are temperature error corrected? Also could you point me toward the reference? Thanks.

This document designated 272 "Cold Temperature Restricted Airports", where there are procedures that may place aircraft at risk with respect to obstacle clearance under cold temperature conditions. The NOTAM delineates crew and ATC interaction under those circumstances.

You're welcome.

Wow.....Now we all just learnt another new thing. I'm sure most of us had never hear of that.

No, they are not temperature corrected.
ATC read your pressure alitude. (1013/29.92)
