CRE Submits Comments to DOL on the Risk Analysis Portion of its Data Quality Guidelines (Applicable to OSHA/MSHA)
CRE has provided written comments to DOL on the Risk Analysis portion of its proposed Data Quality guidelines relating to OSHA/MSHA. The Risk Analysis section was released separately by the agency, after issuance of the rest of the DOL guidelines. CRE's comments raise serious concerns regarding DOL's "adaptation" of the SDWA guidelines. Specifically, DOL's proposed guidelines would not set minimum quality standards for risk-related information.

    Federal Data Quality Act: CRE Files Data Quality Guideline Development Guide with DOL
    CRE has provided the Department of Labor with a Working Draft white paper, Developing DOL's Data Quality Guidelines: A Step-by-Step Guide, designed to assist DOL in developing their Data Quality guidelines. A key issue discussed in the CRE guide is a discussion of the Department's duty to establish a standard for information reproducibility.
