The Environment Protection Agency plans to limit the scientific research that the government can use to form public health regulations, The New York Times reports
A draft of the EPA's proposal obtained by the Times would require scientists to disclose their raw data, including confidential medical records, in order for the agency to consider a study's conclusions. The move would complicate the enactment of new clean air and water regulations, which are largely rooted in academic studies that rely on confidentiality agreements because of personal health disclosures.
In another statement late Monday, the EPA told CNN that The New York Times' reporting"has numerous errors" but did not specify what is inaccurate. The Times story, the agency said,"is based on a leaked preliminary draft version of the Supplemental, not the actual text submitted to the [Office of Management and Budget].
