Here’s a clear history of the Information Quality Act (IQA), also sometimes called the Data Quality Act:

Origins

• The IQA was not passed as a standalone law, but rather enacted quietly in December 2000 as a two-paragraph rider (Section 515) in the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2001 (Public Law 106-554).

• The provision was drafted by Jim Tozzi, a former regulatory official in the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and later an industry consultant, who has been widely credited with inserting it into the appropriations bill.

The Federal Reserve Board should have a far greater role than stabilizing the drift of a sinking ship. To some, the multi-decade journey of the United States to bankruptcy need not be taken as an end all event because many conclude that the United States will merely be duplicating the experience of the Romans, Germans and Russians. Nonetheless, for a number of years CRE (Center for Regulatory Effectiveness) has been broadcasting the need for urgent actions to address our nation’s irreversible movement towards bankruptcy. We continue to support the statements of our predecessors who have made these statements for decades and continue to do so but we  also emphasize that prevailing conditions are so perilous that we must immediately extend our sights beyond problem identification to problem solving.

CRE has been asked to respond to recent statements that claim that a handful of Presidents- Nixon, Carter and Reagan- are not the primary sponsors of centralized regulatory review; instead they claim that centralized regulatory review is the result of the work of a number of Administrations going back to at least the Roosevelt Administration.

If one defines “centralized regulatory review” as:

1. Performing benefit-cost analyses of proposed regulations, and
2. OMB review of the aforementioned benefit-cost analysis
then the Nixon, Carter and Reagan Administrations are most certainly the driving forces.
