®: CRE Regulatory Action of the Week CRE Comments On OMB Data Quality Peer Review Proposal Emphasize That Guidance Is NecessaryIn the Data Quality legislation Congress directed OMB to provide guidance to federal agencies that would "ensure and maximize" the information they disseminate. In the case of scientific and technical information, guidance on satisfactory peer review is essential for fulfilling this legal responsibility.
