The Environmental Protection Agency on Wednesday finalized a rule to end a "secret science" regulation that was imposed under former President Donald Trump that excluded certain studies that didn't make all data publicly available.
The agency announced the end of the rule on Wednesday.
The move allows the EPA to consider studies that don't make available all data, which is sometimes done to protect privacy.
Trump's administration billed the restriction as a transparency measure, but critics argued that it might ultimately do more harm than good for an agency that values such varying scientific data like the EPA.
"This action ensures that EPA can utilize the best available science and data to support our work to protect the public from pollution," EPA Administrator Michael Regan said in a statement.
"The Biden-Harris Administration has an unwavering commitment to scientific integrity, and to listening to experts and scientists so we can move forward with urgency to deliver on EPA's mission."
The rule made it more difficult to use major health studies to guide pollution regulations, according to Science Magazine, and health scientists warned that the policy would interfere with current and future research.
Trump's administration imposed the restriction before he left office in January. A federal court threw out the rule in February after a request from new President Joe Biden. The court said a previous ruling eliminated the legal basis for the rule.
no data no science
IOW, data that can't be verified, i.e. made up.
Yes--ranging from propaganda to nonsense to malarkey.

red pen: “Please show your work”
So they can accept fabricated garbage that supports the Leftist agenda? Pathetically obvious.

Sanctioned fraud.
No concealed to protect privacy. Concealed to protect FRAUD.
Science at the EPA? Yeah right. Secret or otherwise, they are full of crap. The EPA should be abolished.
Among the most unconstitutional things Congress has ever done is to continue to give the EPA & other rogue agencies the power to make rules and regulations with the weight of law.
Reason enough to get rid of it.
“Death to America,” the EPA added.
“studies that don’t make available all data, which is sometimes done to protect privacy”
Or it’s done to prevent anyone from pointing out the study is bogus.
“please inquire about a beautiful Golden Gate Bridge I have for sale”
Nice, I’d be interested but I already own two of those. I have the deeds to prove it!

Scott Pruitt was run out of DC by constant harassment of the left. One of the things used against him was a guard at the EPA tossing out an AP reporter. I enjoyed watching that guard push her out after she refused to go.
