Recent Congressional debates over federal regulatory programs, such as the revised particulate matter standard, and the criteria for listing new species under the Endangered Species Act, show the importance of providing the public with full access to federal research data to validate research results and gain the proper public support. The importance of this issue is also reflected in a recent court decision on environmental tobacco smoke that concluded that the Environmental Protection Agency had been selective in including research data in its overall assessment of health risks. Public access to research data would help ensure that federal rules are based on the best science possible.
