<h3>AAAS Submits Additional Comments on OMB Peer Review Proposal</h3>
<p>AAAS has sent additional comments to the White House Office of Management and 
  Budget (OMB) on its revised guidelines governing peer review by federal agencies. 
  The second draft of the OMB proposal, which was published April 28 in the Federal 
  Register, seeks to implement a standardized approach to peer review of scientific 
  information used by agencies in setting regulatory policies. Public comments 
  were due May 28. 
<p>In its comments, AAAS expressed gratitude for a number of improvements to the 
  guidelines and to the OMB for responding to "our comments and those of other 
  scientific groups on the previous draft bulletin." The letter, however, criticized 
  inconsistent treatment of attribution and disclosure policies, and lack of clarity 
  over what constitutes exempt scientific information. A copy of the AAAS letter 
  was also sent to the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy.
