US Government Response To CRE Letter on IWC Noncompliance With Data Quality Standards
I am writing in response to the Center for Regulatory Effectiveness (CRE) white paper entitled "U.S. Government Agencies Cannot Use an IWC Scientific Committee Report Because it Does Not Meet Data Quality Act Standards" (CRE report) that you provided to NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). The CRE report states that the 2004 International Whaling Commission (IWC) report of the Scientific Committee's Standing Working Group on Environmental Concerns fails to meet the requirements of the Information Quality Act (IQA) and therefore cannot be used or relied upon by federal agencies, including NMFS.
