Coalition Seeks Transparency in Data Released by FDA
On Friday, a coalition of public interest groups sent a letter urging FDA to overturn its policy of redacting certain information from federal documents before turning them over to journalists, regulators and others requesting the data. The letter also asks FDA to act on a formal petition by Public Citizen, which called for the elimination of FDA's "minor deletions" policy.
