"EPA: Think Tank Balks As Agency Links It With 'Secret Science'"

"A centrist think tank is disputing EPA's characterization of a 2009 report that it's using to justify its controversial proposal to limit the use of scientific studies in crafting new regulations.

Both the proposed rule and an accompanying EPA news release suggest the plan is in line with recommendations included in the Bipartisan Policy Center report, the group's president, Jason Grumet, said in recently filed comments.

"While these two references imply different levels of agreement, we want to be clear that the proposed rule is not consistent with the BPC report in substance or intent," Grumet wrote."
