Increase the scope of OMB's Data Access Guidelines
Pursuant to the Data Access Law (Shelby Amendment) OMB issued the following overly restrictive interpretation in its amendments to OMB Circular A-110:
"In addition, in response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for
research data relating to published research findings produced under an
award that were used by the Federal Government in developing an agency
action THAT HAS THE FORCE AND EFFECT OF LAW, the Federal awarding agency
shall request, and the recipient shall provide, within a reasonable time,
the research data ....
Nothing in the legislative debates suggest such an overbearing restriction, See below:
