CRE Comments to OMB

CRE Submits Comments to OMB on its Data Quality Guidelines
CRE has submitted comments to OMB on its OMB-specific proposed Data Quality guidelines. In addition to its letter comments, the Center has attached four papers: (1) a set of CRE Generic Comments to all agencies on their Data Quality guidelines which discuss a variety of important cross-cutting issues; and (2) a Legal Memorandum challenging OMB's and other agencies' attempts to exempt certain categories of information from the Data Quality Act guidelines' applicability; (3) Comment on EPA's proposed Data Quality guidelines submitted by the ABA Section on Administrative Law and Regulatory Practice, and (4) supplemental comments specifically related to risk issues.

    CRE Submits Comments on "Reproducibility" Standard in OMB's Data Quality Guidelines
    CRE submitted comments to OMB on the "capable of being substantially reproduced" standard included in the agency's final Data Quality guidelines. The reproducibility standard was issued on an interim final basis, and OMB accepted additional public comments on that key aspect of the guidelines through October 29, 2001. CRE strongly supports OMB's reproducibility requirement as a standard of care for governmental information. If information is not sufficiently robust that it cannot be reproduced by independent parties across testing environments, it should not be deemed adequately reliable for dissemination to the public. CRE urges OMB to retain this important aspect of the guidelines.
