Reclamation Seeks Comments on Peer Review of Scientific Information and Assessments Policy
The Bureau of Reclamation is seeking public comment on a draft policy for Peer Review of Scientific Information. It establishes Reclamation's policy for review of scientific information. It is available for review at www.usbr.gov/recman. Specifically the policy (CMP P14) will: * Establish a peer review policy for Reclamation, * Enhance the quality of scientific information disseminated by Reclamation, and * Increase credibility of decisions to which scientific information contributes. This draft policy will replace a temporary policy for peer review and scientific information and assessments that has been in place since 2011. It also fulfills the requirements of the Office of Management and Budget Final Information Quality Bulletin for Peer Review and implementation of the Information Quality Act. The Reclamation Manual is used to establish Reclamation requirements, assign program responsibility and establish and document Reclamation methods of doing business. Comments or questions may be directed to Reclamation Science Advisor David A. Raff, Ph.D.. Comments must be received by Reclamation by Sept. 12, 2015.

Additional speakers to be announced closer to presentation date. Q&A to follow. PDH credit available.
