SAB Seeks To Expand Transparency Rule Review Beyond Wheeler's Call

摘要

A work group of EPA's Science Advisory Board (SAB) is asking the agency a series of questions about its controversial science transparency rule, a move that appears aimed at broadening advisors' review of the measure beyond what Administrator Andrew Wheeler proposed last month. The work group on May 17 posted on SAB's website a series of questions on the proposed rule, which generally seeks to bar EPA's use of scientific research where the underlying data are not public, including how key terms are defined, as well as the agency's view of SAB's role in reviewing it.
