    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has announced a final rule to improve transparency in its significant regulatory and scientific actions. The rule emphasizes the importance of making dose-response data publicly accessible for independent validation, which refers to reanalyzing data to confirm study results. While the rule encourages using studies with available data, it also allows for exceptions in specific cases, like when data privacy laws restrict sharing. This effort aims to enhance public trust in the EPA's decisions by promoting openness and scientific scrutiny.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA is making a new rule to be more open about how it decides on big environmental rules. They will try to show and share more of the science data they use, like showing their math homework, so that other people can check it and make sure it's right.
