RE: Comments on proposed revision of OMB Circular A-110
Dear Mr. Charney:
The American Psychological Association (APA) represents 159,000 members
and
affiliates and is the largest organization of psychologists in the
world.
More than 15,000 of our members are active scientists, representing
subfields of psychology ranging from behavioral neuroscience to
decision
theory. We are pleased to have this opportunity to comment on the
proposed
revision of OMB Circular A-110, which will subject research data
obtained
through funding by the Federal government to the procedures established
under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
APA maintains that the proposed revision of OMB Circular A-110 is a
brave
attempt to implement a bad law. We appreciate OMB's efforts to obtain
comment and assistance from the scientific community in its attempt to
implement one of the provisions of Public Law 105-277. Before its
passage,
this provision was not given the public hearings and scrutiny usually
provided a law with such significant budgetary and scientific
implications.
Sharing data is at the heart of the scientific enterprise. For that
very
reason, APA publishes forty-one scientific journals and more than 50
books
each year. Our editorial policies stipulate careful peer review of all
research articles prior to publication, as well as the saving of data
for 5
years after publication so that data described in a particular article
are
available to scientists who want to replicate or further analyze them.
So,
the sharing of scientific data is not at issue.
Rather, the issue is the process of data sharing called for by the
proposed
revision of OMB Circular A-110, by which Public Law 105-277 uses the
FOIA to
implement data sharing with the public. The Freedom of Information Act
was
intended to bring the records and documents already held by Federal
agencies
into the public arena in order to make the reasons for federal policies
apparent-a good and useful purpose. Data generated under research
grants are
owned by the university or research institution which receives the
funds.
So, grant-funded data are generally not part of a federal funding
agency's
records. The FOIA was never intended to make research data generated by
federal grants available to the public, and the use of it for this
purpose
creates far more problems than it solves.
Traditionally, and for good reason, neither Federal funding agencies
nor
universities have exercised their lawful rights to the data of their
researchers. Scientific research grants are considered a federal
assistance
program; the grants are gifts and do not imply a contractual
obligation.
Research scientists have never been thought to be agents of or
surrogates
for the government in conducting their research. We are unaware of any
university or research institution that holds the data of its
researchers in
storage. When a scientist moves from one institution to another, he or
she
always brings data to the new site. As it currently stands, the
implementation of Public Law 105-277 would interfere seriously with
this
process.
The proposed language saddles federal funding agencies with the burden
of
determining exactly which data were used in formulating federal
policies or
rules, often a difficult task. Then the agency must locate the data for
studies it has funded, and determine whether the data are exempt from
FOIA
provisions because its disclosure would constitute a clearly
unwarranted
invasion of personal privacy, for reasons of national security, or
because
it contains trade secrets or proprietary information.
It is almost certainly the case that FOIA protections are not broad
enough
to protect the privacy of research subjects promised them by their
informed
consent agreements, since agency review itself may constitute a
violation.
The FOIA does not protect the privacy of institutions, like schools,
hospitals, or work places. Scientists who conduct research in such
venues
could no longer offer any privacy protections to the institutions, and
would
surely lose their research populations.
The proposed modification to OMB Circular A-110 makes it possible that
data
presented in a preliminary form at a meeting of a scientific society
would
be requested by a member of the public or even a competing scientist
before
it was fully analyzed by the scientist who collected it. In fact, it
endangers the entire scientific enterprise by making unanalyzed,
unreviewed,
and incomplete data available to everyone who asks for it, without
regard to
their ability to interpret the data and without regard to the cost to
the
scientist, the university, or the Federal agencies that fund research.
It
also ignores the ultimate cost to society of research hours lost and
research funds spent copying, organizing, and explaining data that are
not
yet ready for full scrutiny. It ignores the damage done to science when
people are afraid to volunteer for scientific studies, for fear that
their
personal privacy may be at risk. It ignores the damage done when
private
companies or even other countries will no longer partner with U.S.
scientists for fear their proprietary interests are no longer secure.
It
ignores the damage that will surely be done by those who will use the
process to disrupt research with animals, or on genetics, or on other
sensitive or controversial topics.
All of the above notwithstanding, the fact remains that OMB has been
charged
with developing the language to implement this law through its Circular
A-110. OMB must define the terms to be used in the circular. APA
recommends that the most restrictive language be used wherever
possible:
a. For example, data should be defined as published
information; published should be defined as research articles printed
in a
journal or book or placed in their entirety on the public domain part
of the
Internet. Abstracts or posters presented at scientific meetings should
not
be included in this definition, since these presentations are most
commonly
based upon preliminary or pilot data. Data should be defined to exclude
actual samples of materials (e.g., artifacts, video tapes of
interactions)
and laboratory notebooks.
b. Data should be kept for five years by the university or
research institution. These institutions should be allowed to increase
their indirect cost rates significantly to allow for the costs of data
archiving, there being no way federal research agencies can reimburse
research institutions or scientists for costs incurred for copying
data.
c. Data generated through funding by several sources, some of
them non-governmental, should be exempt, since it would be impossible
to
separate out which data were collected with which funds.
d. In psychology and much biomedical research, the
confidentiality of research data is frequently a primary concern of the
research subject and the research scientist. Data collected from
individuals with the stipulation that it will be seen only by the
experimenter or used for research purposes only should be exempt.
e. The circular must define when the new provisions take effect
and to which data they apply. Only data generated in studies funded
after
the publication of the final rule should be included, so that an
increase in
indirect cost rates for universities to use in paying for data storage
and
copying can be built into federally funded grants.
We are aware that such definitions probably exclude more data than they
include. It may not be possible for OMB to interpret the law so
narrowly.
We urge you to take as much time as necessary to consider the
implications
of the proposed changes and to make use of the many comments you will
receive on this topic from scientific societies. We must reassert that
the
use of the FOIA for research data is too broad in its scope, too costly
in
its execution, and too disruptive of the scientific process. APA and
its
fellow scientific organizations will continue to work for the repeal of
the
relevant provision of Public Law 105-277, and the institution of more
reasonable measures to assure that research data are available
appropriately
to all who want them.
Sincerely,
Raymond D. Fowler, Ph.D. Richard C. McCarty, Ph.D.

Section II (Clinical Geropsychology) of Division 12 would like to
announce
its annual student award competition. The winner is acknowledged at the
annual business meeting at APA and also receives a $300 prize.
Submissions
should be completed research for which the student had primary
responsibility (first authorship or sole authorship). The student does
not
have to be in clinical psychology, but the paper should be clearly
related
to clinical geropsychology. Undergraduate and graduate student research
is
eligible. Research papers based upon the dissertation are eligible
(i.e.,
postdoctoral fellows can compete if the research was completed before
the
Ph.D. was awarded).
Submissions are required to be in the form of a paper submitted for
publication and prepared according to APA guidelines. 30 double-spaced
pages, including references, tables, figures, etc. Typeface no smaller
than 15 cpi. The cover letter should address the eligibility of the
paper
for the award: the student's current educational standing, role in
planning, conducting and writing up the project, and the relevance to
clinical geropsychology.
Submissions should be received no later than June 1 by:

REPLIES TO: Robin West <rwest@geron.ufl.edu>
WANTED: Reviewers for Student awards
As you probably know, Division 20 of APA and the Retirement Research
Foundation sponsor a student research award competition. The awards are
for
proposed or completed research at the undergraduate, graduate or
postdoctoral level. Submissions are due on May 25 this year.
We are asking for volunteers to help the committee in reviewing
submissions.
Volunteer reviewers will receive 2 to 6 submissions early in June (the
more
volunteers, the smaller the load!) and reviews will be due back a few
weeks
later. The reviews consist of rating the paper along a number of
dimensions,
plus written comments.
If you are willing to participate as a reviewer, please send me an
email
<rwest@geron.ufl.edu> as soon as possible. Please provide your
name, mailing
address for June(for express mail), EMAIL address, and a list of
content
areas in which you feel competent to review.
Please be willing to provide this service to Division 20. It will
require a
small amount of your time and it will help to support a wonderful
student
awards program that has been quite successful!
Thanks very much-- Robin West

AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION
SCIENCE ADVOCACY NETWORK
!!!ACTION ALERT!!!
April 21, 1999
HELP MAINTAIN CONTROL OF YOUR DATA
SUPPORT REPEAL OF NEW LAW
Thanks to all of you who responded to the last action alert about
proposed
rule changes to federal policies on data sharing. Although the Office
of
Management and Budget (OMB) received volumes of correspondence from
many
organizations and individuals expressing concern about the potential
misuse
of this proposed rule, in the end they received even more
correspondence
from groups and individuals who wanted to see the rule expanded.
Some of these groups, notably the National Rifle Association and the US
Chambers of Commerce waged an 11th hour email campaign and OMB was
spammed
with pro-FOIA comments just before the close of the comment period on
April
5th. A rough count suggests that the resulting input was about 60%
pro-FOIA to 40% anti-FOIA. Although the raw numbers work against us,
OMB
staff have indicated that the comments from the science community had
far
more substance and that will be weighed accordingly as OMB completes
their
analyses.
Because the opposition has a large, well-organized grass roots
constituency
we really need your help now!
Rep. George Brown has introduced a bill (H.R. 88) to repeal the FOIA
provision. We need you to write to your Representative and ask him/her
to
Co-Sponsor this bill or to thank him/her if they are already
Co-Sponsoring
the bill. Although there is no corresponding bill in the Senate at this
time, please write to both of your Senators requesting that they
support a
similar repeal effort as soon as possible.
We have mounted sample letters on our PPO webpage that you can send as
is
or modify to include a personal vignette but in any case please act
today.
These letters are powerful tools and it's time for the science
community to
demonstrate solidarity against this ill-conceived, disruptive law.
For additional information, sample letters, and easy links to your
Congresspeople please access the PPO website at:
http://www.apa.org/ppo/foia.html
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

The APA Committee on Lesbian, Gay, & Bisexual Concerns (CLGBC)
seeks
nominations for two positions beginning January 1, 2000. Nominees are
sought who have:
* Expertise and interest in dealing with issues of ethnicity and human
diversity;
* Experience with APA Governance;
* Expertise and interest in international issues and psychological
concerns;
* Public Policy or legislative experience at the local, state, or
national levels.
The Committee welcomes nominations of ethnic minority psychologists and

The Committee's mission is to:
* study and evaluate on an ongoing basis how the issues and concerns
of lesbian, gay male, and bisexual psychologists can best be dealt
with;
* encourage objective and unbiased research in areas relevant to
lesbian, gay male, and bisexual adults and youths, and the social
impact of
such research;
* examine the consequences of inaccurate information and stereotypes
about lesbian, gay male, and bisexual adults and youths in clinical
practice;
* develop educational materials for distribution to psychologists and
others; and
* make recommendations regarding the integration of these issues into
the APA's activities to further the cause of civil and legal rights of
lesbian, gay male, and bisexual psychologists within the profession.
The Committee consists of six members, three women and three men,
appointed
for staggered terms of three years. It reports to the Council of
Representatives through the Board for the Advancement of Psychology in
the
Public Interest. Committee members are required to attend two Committee
meetings a year in Washington, DC, with expenses reimbursed by APA.

Call for Nominations to the Committee on Aging
The American Psychological Association's Committee on Aging (CONA) is
seeking nominations for two new members to begin terms in January 2000.
The
committee concerns itself with furthering the major purpose of APA to
advance psychology as a science and profession and as a means of
promoting
human welfare by ensuring that older adults, especially the growing
numbers
of older women and minorities, receive the attention of the
Association.
Committee members plan, develop, and coordinate various activities
related
to impacting the status of older adults. CONA is interested in persons
with
demonstrated interest and experience in aging issues to serve a
three-year
term beginning in January 2000 and ending in December 2002. CONA is
committed to ensuring the representation of all constituencies within
the
APA. Areas of expertise divided among the members encompasses academic
experience, clinical experience, and research experience. Each year,
new
members are selected based on their qualifications vis-à-vis the
particular
slate requirements for that year. This year, the committee is
especially
interested in having ethnic minority and women candidates apply for the
openings.
Selected candidates will be required to attend two committee meetings a
year
in Washington, DC, with expenses reimbursed by the APA. Members also
work
on Aging Committee priorities when necessary between meetings. If
possible,
members attend a CONA meeting at their own expense held during the APA
Convention.
Nomination materials should include the nominee's qualifications, a
letter
from the nominee indicating willingness to serve on CONA and a current
curriculum vita. APA nominations are open to members who are retired or
employed less than full time. Nominations and supporting materials
should
be sent by August 1, 1999, to Weldon Bagwell of the APA Public Interest
Directorate, 750 First Street NE, Washington, DC, 20002-4242.
