CRE's "Sledgehammer"
The Data Quality Act is CRE's "sledgehammer," at least according to one environmentalist interviewed by Inside EPA. Environmentalists and university researchers are having conniptions over one of CRE's newest regulatory watchdog actions. CRE has undertaken a campaign to ensure that EPA and other agencies are able to use university and other third-party research in regulatory proceedings only if that information complies with the Data Quality Act and implementing guidelines. CRE put the bite on a joint filing by Cornell University and NRDC in an EPA proceeding by notifying the agency that any final action which incorporated the apparently flawed Cornell/NRDC comments would be subject to challenge under the Data Quality Act. Objections ranged from claims that CRE was attempting to "blockade the free exchange of reliable scientific information" to concerns that some scientists may not want to risk industry lawsuits. Winston is puzzled by the concerns since he assumes scientists would both want and take steps to ensure that their research meets federally-mandated quality standards. Winston is also curious as to why so many environmentalists are sure that federal quality standards are a threat to their data.

CSPI Asks Dentists to Put the Bite on Corporate Responsibility
The Coca-Cola Corporation recently donated $1 million to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) to "support important clinical, basic and behavioral research" and "create public and professional educational programs, based on science, that promote improved dental health for children." Instead of applauding this generous act of good corporate citizenship, which promises to improve the dental health of countless children, the Center for Science in the Public Interest is asking the Academy to refuse the money. Watchdog Watch is tempted to suggest that CSPI should not ask AAPD to turn down the funds unless they were willing to make up the money out of their own resources. However, if AAPD were to adhere to the CSPI's principle of not accepting funds from organizations whose actions are contrary to children's health, the dental association might have to refuse CSPI funding.

CRE Rebuts NRDC's Third-Party Comments on EPA's Biosolids Proposal on Data Quality Grounds
NRDC submitted detailed comments on EPA's draft biosolids risk assessment and NODA which argued that EPA must strictly regulate land-applied biosolids because they pose a significant incremental risk over the background risk from dioxin and related compounds.
