EPA says no more “secret science”

In an exclusive interview with The Daily Caller, an online conservative news and opinion outlet, Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt said that the agency was going to stop using non-public sources of data in developing regulations. “We need to make sure their data and methodology are published as part of the record,” Pruitt told The Daily Caller. “Otherwise, it’s not transparent. It’s not objectively measured, and that’s important.” This move was not announced independently on the EPA site, but rather the piece from The Daily Caller was linked to by the EPA. — WLJ
