Read CRE's Legislative Working Papers on Data Access and Data Quality
House Initiates Action on Data Quality
Based upon the recommendations of CRE, the House incorporated a Data
Quality provision in the report accompanying the FY 1999 Treasury and
General Government Appropriations Act (H.R. 4104) that urged OMB to
develop policy and procedural guidance to federal agencies in order
to ensure and maximize the "quality," "objectivity," "utility," and
"integrity" of information which the federal government disseminates
to the pubic. The Senate followed the House's lead, and relevant language
was included in the conference report to Pub. Law No. 105-277. The House
later included nearly identical mandatory language in the FY 2001 Treasury
and General Government Appropriations Act (H.R. 5658) which statutorily
directs OMB to issue guidelines for Data Quality, and this provision
has been incorporated into the FY 2001 Consolidated Appropriations Act
(H.R. 4577). CRE anticipates passage of this important provision that
will set government-wide standards for information quality, including
opportunity to petition agencies for correction of information that
does not meet such standards.

bill and Conference Report, the FY 2001 House bill and Conference Report,
as well as CRE's Legislative Working Papers on Data Access and Data Quality.
President
Signs Data Quality Legislation (Federal Data Quality Act (FDQA)) (Public
Law 106-554 Section 515)
The Congress has passed and the President has
signed important new Data Quality legislation as part of the FY 2001 Consolidated
Appropriations Act (Public Law 106-554). Building upon the Data Quality
report language contained in the FY 1999 Omnibus Appropriations Act (P.L.
105-277), this new provision requires OMB to develop government-wide standards
for the quality of information used and disseminated by the federal government,
with such standards to be completed not later than September 30, 2001. OMB
must also include a mechanism through which the interested public can petition
agencies to correct information which does not meet the OMB standard. Congress
has provided for broad input in developing the Data Quality standard, mandating
that OMB shall seek "public and Federal agency involvement."

Partners of Washington, D.C. Law Firm Author Article on Impacts of Tozzi
v. DHHS Case: CRE Sees Major Implications for Data Quality Act
Partners at Bergeson & Campbell, P.C., a D.C. law firm specializing
in chemical, medical device, and diagnostic product approval and regulation,
recently authored an article entitled "The Tozzi Decision: Another
Arrow in Manufacturers' Quiver in Product Defense Wars." Although the
article emphasized the importance of the court's decision for designations
in the National Toxicology Program's Report on Carcinogens Program,
CRE believes that it will have even greater significance for judicial
review under the Data Quality Act. For example, the opinion provides
precedent for standing when information disseminated by a federal agency
is causing harm to a company or person to whom the information relates.

Washington Legal
Foundation (WLF) Article Seeks Increased Judicial Review of Agency Science
Alan Raul and Julie Zampa, of Sidley Austin Brown & Wood LLP, recently
authored a WLF Legal Backgrounder entitled "Deeper Judicial Scrutiny Needed
for Agencies' Use of Science." This thought-provoking article analyzed
new ground broken by the Tozzi v. DHHS case in terms of expanding judicial
review of federal agencies' use of science. Data Quality Act guidelines
are also discussed as a positive step to improve transparency of agency
decisionmaking and the quality of agency science. However, the article
notes that courts have adopted very inconsistent approaches in conducting
reviews of agency science, with some serious and probative, but others
overly deferential. The authors conclude that the Tozzi case took a valuable
step by increasing availability of judicial review, one which courts must
build upon by exercising these enhanced powers so as to review agency
science in a more consistent, predictable, and probative manner.
