We are writing in response to a proposed rule announced by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in a 24 April 2018 press release. The release reads: “The rule will ensure that the regulatory science underlying Agency actions is fully transparent, and that underlying scientific information is publicly available in a manner sufficient for independent validation.”
