By Adam Houser |January 6th, 2021
In a live stream event hosted by the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI), EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler outlined a new science transparency rule being implemented at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Known officially as the not-so-brief “Strengthening Transparency in Pivotal Science Underlying Significant Regulatory Actions and Influential Scientific Information†rule, it requires researchers to divulge the processes and data by which they draw their conclusions and findings, according to The Washington Post.
“The American public deserves to know which studies we are using to craft our regulations, and which of those studies are key, or pivotal, to our decisions,†Wheeler said in his opening remarks. “And to the extent possible, that data should be available for the public to see.â€
